I totally messed up!

We went to my sister's house and ate dinner, and now that DS can have finger foods, I am trying to allow him to have things like softened veggies with his meats. My sister made some green beans, and she was so proud that she didn't use any butter in them to season them. So, I said DS could have them, if she didn't use butter. She said, nope just bouillion cubes. I didn't think anything about it. That night, my son's eczema flared and he was congested. I could not figure out why. That was until I looked at the ingredients in chicken bouillion,casein=MILK! I had NO IDEA!! I was so mad at myself. I don't cook with bouillion regularly, but I have heard of people using it as a seasoning and meat alternative. I felt horrible. After a dose of allegra, DS seemed better, but I am so mad at myself for not asking to see the ingredients. I am usually soo good at checking the ingredients, but I see now I can't even let my guard down for a second!

that stinks! it happens.. Sometimes you just get excited that there is something he can eat.  I honestly wouldn't have though about boiuillion having milk in it either.

even yesterday were were at sesame street live show and the lady at the counter said the pretzels were milk/soy/egg/nut free.. i totally wanted to give it to DS.. DH was NOT having it. 

It's a good remainder.. thankfully he's ok!  sometimes a remainder is all we need.

It's easy to miss stuff.  Glad your LO is ok.  Milk is a sneaky one since it hides in so many wierd things.
