Jun 29, Milk and Egg Allergies. A Parent’s Concern

A study in the US has found that parents of children with allergies, are more concerned about milk and egg allergies, than peanut allergies. Peanut allergies can have severe complications to a sufferer. But parents say that as milk and eggs are contained in so many food products, they are much harder to avoid. Milk and egg allergies and intolerances can be a real issue for eczema sufferers. Dairy products contain sugar and proteins that can irritate your skin, and make your eczema symptoms worse You can read more about this, in TIME magazine

Milk monitor

I’m still struggling with getting back into the school routine.  Mornings particularly are a hectic and stressful time of day for me – as they probably are in most houses where school age children live.

Ian leaves for work at 7am so most days I am left to get everyone else fed, dressed, organised and out the door for school at 8.30am.  The clock seems to go at superspeed during that hour and a half in the morning.

Once again, this morning 8.30 came around quicker than I was expecting.  Ella was wondering round chewing her toothbrush I’d given her a good 15 minutes earlier and Lucy was taking off the shoes and socks I had just put on her feet…

A few minutes later as the three of us bundled out of the front door, I heard a ‘mummy look, its the milk.’ from Ella.  As I turned from shutting the front door – there she was clutching the mornings milk delivery from the step (2 pints of semi-skimmed in case you were wondering).

Me: ‘Just put it down on the step Ella, I’ll sort it when I get home’
Ella: ‘No, Ella do it’
Me: ‘Ella we are going to be late, put the milk down’
Ella (raised voice): No Mummy, Ella in the kitchen please’ accompanied by irate tone and pointed finger towards the door

So, I fumbled about to find my house key, re-opened the door and told Ella to take the milk and put it on the side in the kitchen.  I then got Lucy into the car and belted up while Ella disappeared, all the while wondering where the milk would actually be left and where I would find it when I got home.  

Ella soon returned, got in the car and off to school we went.  And I completely forgot all about the milk.

But here is what greeted me when I got home…



Sorry, to those of you expecting a more amusing or dramatic end to this tale but the vision of finding the milk sat on the side in the kitchen has kept me smiling all day.  Just a simple example of not only following a two word level instruction (which Ella is fairly good at now) but most importantly, not getting distracted while doing it.

Good work Ella x
