help Us keep J safe:

A repeat of the homepage because this is the most important information for people in J’s community:

Julia is allergic to cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and pecans. She may be allergic to other foods (most likely other nuts). We will update this with additional allergies if we discover additional allergies. Last update: June 19, 2025.

• Do not feed Julia any of the foods she is allergic to. Read food labels carefully as nuts can be hidden ingredients in different foods (vegan foods, pesto, lots of asian cuisines, etc). She also cannot eat anything that contains a label stating the food was “manufactured or processed on equipment that processes tree nuts.” Avoiding these potentially cross contaminated foods is a true crucible and requires really careful label reading. We (parents) should be the only ones deciding on if she can eat unlabeled foods (ie: restaurant/bakery items), as that is a risk calculus that only we should make.

• Do not bring any foods Julia is allergic to into our home. We are trying to ensure our home remains a very safe place for Julia, and given that she is at the stage of infancy where she explores by putting things in her mouth, keeping our home free of her allergens is very important.

• If your child (or you) have eaten the foods Julia is allergic to before visiting our home please make sure your hands, face, clothes, etc are clean before coming into our home (or before interacting with Julia out in the world).

• Beyond these physical risks, the biggest other risk is social. Please keep loving, snuggling, and playing with Julia. She is a very sweet baby and she loves spending time with people who love her.
