How did you discover his food allergies? Did you have him tested? I am asking because my son has acid reflux as well. He is only 7 weeks old (today infact!) and so we are new to all of this.

Thank you for reading the SharePost. We already have a different activity planned for Halloween night this year, so hopefully he will still have a great holiday. I'm not sure what our choice will be when he is 9 or 10. Each year seems to present new challenges and new solutions, so only time will tell.

Thanks for the insightful sharepoint.
