			<description><![CDATA[True friends are hard to find, but priceless when achieved! I hope and pray he'll be fortunate enough to have a supportive network around him when he's at school! Reading between the lines, it sounds as if you're talking from experience! Hope you're school journey was kind to you, and you got to have the very support network you describe! x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Poor little dude. Not great being aware of how (sometimes accidentally) ignorant people can be already . As far as school goes - one or two great friends can make ALL the difference, then you are in a little team which makes everything seem better. I think teachers are a lot more aware of kids needs these days and don't just expect them to get on with it, like years ago x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That's so sad... When they start noticing there's something different about them, it can be heart-breaking. Beanie was asked at pre-school what the red bits were on her legs / arms / hands and she casually replied that it was eczema but some little ones though it was catching... Luckily the teacher explained what eczema was afterwards (I gave her the teacher's pack from NES - check it if you haven't yet) xxx]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi. Have either of you tried the Green People children's organic sunscreen? It's the only one Gabe can use without flare-ups (mind you, I haven't tried Uvistat!) and it works well too - we go to Cape Town every year and it even copes with the African sun. Gosh sounds like a sales plug - maybe I should apply for a job there ;-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Kieran sounds like one amazing dude!! Bless him! I really hope Callum has a similar experience next year! I totally understand the bringing safe food, I do that wherever we go because of the extent of Callum's allergies, it makes it quite difficult to cater for at the best of times!
Re sun creams, I have a post coming up in a few weeks! The 2 best ones I've found are uvistat and sunscreen, both of which Callum's consultant prescribed. But I do know that they can be bought off Amazon too!
Hugs x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I'm also a Bicester mum dealing with eczema and allergies. My son Kieron is allergic to dairy and soya, has bad eczema which reacts to pollen, wool, most cleaning products and loads of things we still haven't worked out yet. My youngest Logan also has eczema which reacts to soya. I was very worried about when Kieron started school as children often come up to him and ask him why his skin looks funny or has red blotches everywhere. He as been amazing though and just tells them that he has eczema which makes him very itchy and he has to put cream on. The kids have now stopped asking and treat it as totally normal for him. My only problem now is stopping other parents bringing in chocolates and cakes for their kids birthdays, I hate being mean and taking them away and have to supply the school with alternatives that they can give Kieron. Kids are so resilient I'm sure your son will be fine. I'm not sure you've ever talked about this is your blog as I'm quite new to discovering it, but have you ever found a suncream you can use? I've tried loads, so far the sudocrem one and a toddler milk are the only one my boys don't majorly react to. I hate summer with pollen and suncreams, sigh!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you so much Nicky! I nodded my head in agreement/ understanding to almost everything you said! It's so hard sometimes isn't it! We can stay strong, build businesses to try to make the situation better, but sometimes, when you see your little one suffering and hurting, none of it matters!
I totally get you not wanting to do the challenges, I'm exactly the same!! We were asked to do that with strawberry last year, Callum had an immediate anaphylactic response on 1st true exposure! I refuse to do any more now! Why put him through all that when he suffers enough as it is!?
Hugs x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi. I popped onto #allergyhour to see what I'd missed, saw your post first, and hopped straight over here to read. Like others, this has brought tears to my eyes. Gabriel (my youngest) had such severe eczema from 2 weeks old that people used to recoil from his pram. I joke now that he used to look like a cross between a Klingon and an uncooked hamburger, but at the time it was heartbreaking. He never slept for more than an hour and a half because he was in such discomfort. I used to pin the arms of his babygro to the sides at night so he couldn't tear at his skin. I had to lie him on a towel to breastfeed him because of how badly his skin oozed. And every day my mood depended on how good or bad – i.e. how comfortable or miserable – he was. Luckily (and funnily enough I mean luckily) he had an anaphylactic reaction at 8 months while I was weaning him and within a couple of weeks I had his diagnosis of 9 severe food allergies. Within a few months of controlled diet his eczema had all but disappeared and he only rarely has tiny outbreaks in response to colds or suncream etc. And yet I'm still scared of it. I find the EpiPens and related fear in many ways easier to deal with than the constant misery of his eczema days. We are supposed to start some food challenges soon (we've done a few before and they cause eczema as well as airway/anaphylactic reactions) and I dread it - in case they start the eczema again. I am three months late making his appointment and it's still nowhere near the top of my To Do list! And in September he starts school, sparking similar fears of how others will tease him about his allergies – or worse, flick their yoghurt or egg (or wheat, nuts, sesame etc etc) at him. I don't know why I'm pouring all this out other than to say I know how it feels and I hope Callum grows out of it soon. Very best wishes, Nicky]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh no, poor little darling! I felt really choked when I read. I hope he feels a little bit more comfortable now? Maybe when he starts school get him one of those wrist bands, or would the rubber cause more problems? Maybe one of your next projects will be to design a really cool kind of badge? In the meantime, give him a special big cuddle from me. Xxxxx
