janetupnorth said:Ah, yes Ginger! Those do contain latex...didn't even think about those because I avoid them so much!
You can get polyurethane gloves at Walmart in the band-aid aisle if you feel you need to use something.

mamadugan said:Thanks! That is what I was thinking. That is exactly what this little guy has is spinabifida.....I thought that none of the products was lateex sensitive. I really don't use the gloves, so I don't think that will be an issue. Thanks again!!
Latex sensitivity, also known as latex allergy, is a reaction to the protein found in natural rubber latex. This can manifest as an allergic reaction when exposed to certain latex-containing products, including gloves, pacifiers, and bottle nipples. For babies with latex sensitivity, it is important to avoid cross-contamination with latex-containing items during meal preparation.
When cooking for a latex-sensitive baby, it is important to avoid using latex gloves, rubber spatulas, and other kitchen tools made with natural rubber latex. Instead, opt for non-latex alternatives such as silicone or vinyl. It is also important to check the labels of any pre-packaged foods for potential latex ingredients.
There are many recipes and ingredients that are safe for babies with latex sensitivity. Some examples include fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and gluten-free grains. It is important to check the ingredient labels of any packaged foods to ensure they do not contain any latex ingredients.
While it is possible to use latex-free kitchenware for your baby's meals and continue using latex products for your own food, it is important to be cautious of cross-contamination. Latex particles can easily transfer from one surface to another, so it is recommended to keep separate cooking utensils and preparation areas for your baby's food.
While it is possible for someone to develop a latex sensitivity after repeated exposure, the risk is low for babies. However, it is still important to take precautions and avoid cross-contamination with latex-containing products during meal preparation to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
