How to feed an allergy sufferer?

"Well, it started again ..." - mum sighs doomed (grandmother, father, etc.), looking at her child, colored with red spots. We will not list here the various symptoms of food allergy: whatever they were, this situation is familiar to many parents. And my daughter and I also went through all this: sleepless nights, and tasteless medicines, and kilometers of bandages. Now I remember this as an unpleasant, but long past dream.

What is our first weapon in the fight against allergies? Diet! And ... again a diet, well, for clarity, once again diet. The strictest. For the period of breastfeeding - and for the child, and for the mother. The diet was determined experimentally. I introduced all new products only during the remission, at least a week after the previous aggravation was completely removed. After ORVI or ORZ, too, waited a week. Of course, "clean days" is not enough, and from time to time I broke this rule. As a result, my daughter received another rash, and it all started again. So diet, diet and diet again.

And how to feed the child, if nothing really can not, and what can be already tired? Turn the banal reception of boring food into a little adventure.

Fantasize over the plate.

1. Reception "as if." And come on, porridge will be like a sand, broccoli - like bushes, and beef - as if sticks.
2. Reception, "alien food" How, you do not want buckwheat? But this is not just a buckwheat, but a cosmic one! This is for you a space hamster specially sent in a parcel from a buckwheat planet. Imagine there is all buckwheat: both buckwheat trees, and the buckwheat river, and the sky is buckwheat ...
3. Reception "as an astronaut" (champion, Raccoon from the cartoon and so on). The keyword should be repeated as often as possible. Show me how you can eat porridge - like an astronaut, with full cheeks! Well done! Here you are a real astronaut! It's only cosmonauts who know how to eat like this! Look, you are already growing up right before our eyes, like an astronaut!

Fantasize in a plate.

1. Lay the porridge in the middle, and the vegetables around, like petals.
2. Lay the layers of meat, garnish, vegetables - and call it a cake. You can pour the top "glaze" - vegetable puree.
3. Make a face out of the food.
4. And so on ad infinitum. Ask the child which character he would like to eat.

Bribe bribe.

At us it not the most effective method, but also he often helps. Its essence is simple, like a valenok - to offer the child what he likes (we have corn flakes, a bag of porridge or baby beef in jars) after the main course. If put in a prominent place, it stimulates much more effectively.

Always give something tasty.

This does not mean that allergies can be given sweets or chips. Of course, I'm sorry for the poor thing, who can not sweets. So you want to give him just a try, well, at least half a candy, at least lick. Here, every parent should weigh the pros and cons, depending on the reaction to the ingredients of the product. Are 5 minutes worth of pleasure of a two-week aggravation? And if then the child will ask for candy all the time? The kid can not yet consciously say to himself "not", especially if he knows how delicious it is. Once my mother gave me a taste of candy, despite allergies. The aggravation was such that afterwards she had to hide the candies on the upper shelf in the closet and eat them secretly from me. And I always determined by smell: "Mom, what did you eat? Did you take it from the cupboard? "

But you can not limit yourself to empty rice on the water. The child himself will tell you what his equivalent of sweets: an apple, bananas, plums, yogurt or something else. Now I can eat sweets without any consequences in unlimited quantities. No, the consequences are, of course, but not in the form of allergies, but in the form of narrow trousers. And I'm sure that my daughter will also eat kinder-surprises, chips, salted rusks and drink all the Coca-Cola, and eventually beer.

The main thing - be sure: you and your baby will necessarily defeat the allergy!
