Avoiding contamination

When you are continuing to serve allergens to other family members, you have to be careful not to contaminate your allergic child's meals. This means using separate utensils, saucepans and even different jars of jam etc if you don't dip a clean knife in every time.

Since my kids are still quite young, we still use face washers to clean them up after each meal. My husband and I have developed a 'code'. My son gets the darker coloured washer and my daughter, the lighter coloured one. This helps us make sure that we don't, for example, wipe dairy or wheat onto our daughter's face from our son's breakfast that we just wiped up on him. Trouble is, sometimes, like today, I do something silly like choose the same colour washer... had better do something about that right now :)
