Cut risk of 🥜allergy by 86%!
|
Hi Reader, If you could reduce your child’s risk of peanut allergy by up to 86%, in a simple way, you would be like SIGN ME UP. Right?? That’s exactly what Dr. Gideon Lack’s LEAP study found the answer to: babies introduced to peanuts early and often were dramatically less likely to develop an allergy. All you have to do is serve it to them! But I know serving a food and getting them to eat it are two totally separate things. (This section of the newsletter is sponsored by Mission MightyMe. All opinions are mine!) One of my favorite ways to make early allergen introduction simple is with Mission MightyMe Nutty Puffs—the first and only pediatrician-developed puffs made with peanuts and tree nuts. You know when you need to just put SOMETHING on their plate before they melt down because you’re still cooking their meal? These puffs are the perfect thing. Plus they are organic with no refined sugar, are tested for heavy metals, and are Clean Label Project certified. Mission MightyMe Puffs are a delicious, easy way to include a wide variety of nuts in your child’s diet—just as pediatricians and dietitians (like me!) recommend! Use code KACIE for 15% off!

Hi Reader, Do you know what is so not sexy? Kids nutrition. Every single day I pour my heart into it because it’s something I’m passionate about and I’m one of those people who just never gives up on the things I care about. But out of ALL the things that you can consume online, there’s plenty that is more entertaining, exciting, fun, funny, beautiful, etc. So first I want to say THANK YOU for putting some of your limited free time toward such a worthy subject that will greatly benefit your...
Hi Reader, One of the most useful things I’ve taught my kids (besides wiping their own butts) is how to make their own breakfast. This morning I went out to walk the dog and realized that was only possible because the kids could get themselves fully ready for camp without me. The freedom to not be needed for all of their care is simply intoxicating. Cereal is often the star of the show, and that really isn’t a bad thing the way you think it might be. Teddy’s go-to is plain Cheerios and...
Hi Reader, I had summer amnesia. Somehow I blocked from my memory just how hard it is to manage a single thought when the kids are home from school. And settling into a summer “routine” is hard work for us. Each week is a little different, but we still need some level of routine for normalcy. Whether we have a quiet day (wait, what’s that?) or we’re on-the-go, I do have to give a shout out to our Skylight Calendar since it’s the one thing that’s helping me maintain my sanity. We’ve been...
