Hi,
Our DS has multiple food allergies and antibiotic alleriges, his allergies are severe and he's had ana reactions before. Of course, we're usually there, but he's getting to the age when he's starting a two's program and preschool next year. Our allergist thinks he should wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace (and we agree) since he's had reactions in public places and while traveling.
My question is, do you think a toddler should wear a bracelet or a necklace? I can't decide. I feel like a bracelet is more noticeable but I'm worried it will also draw attention from other children (I guess I'm just worried about teasing and stuff). A necklace might be easier for us to get him to wear since he doesn't mind an amber necklace. I think we're leaning towards a traditional looking medical bracelet/necklace so it doesn't get mistaken for just jewelry.
Any thoughts?
