A child with allergies
Where to record allergies and medical conditions so they're visible to the people caring for the child.
Allergies and medical conditions are safety-critical, so NestliCare gives them their own fields on every child, and they travel with the child wherever they go.
Record it on the child
When you add a child, or edit them later, fill in:
- Allergies, comma separated, like
Peanuts, Dairy - Medical Conditions, comma separated, like
Asthma
Be consistent with wording (use Peanuts, not sometimes peanut) so the record reads cleanly. Both fields live on the Add Child form and, afterward, in the child profile's About section (Details tab, Edit).
Where it shows up
Once entered, a child's allergies and conditions appear as chips on their card, so anyone looking at the child sees them at a glance rather than digging. Because they're attached to the child, they follow the child if they move rooms or centers.
They also show up in these places:
- Emergency Offline Pack. The printable binder under Reports lists each child's allergies in red, with a
!marker so they still stand out on a black-and-white printer. See Emergency Offline Pack. - Medication. If a child needs medicine at daycare (an inhaler or an epinephrine auto-injector, for example), track it under Families & Children → Medication. Teachers can see how that works in Review medication requests and log doses.
If a reaction happens
If a child has an allergic reaction, file an incident and choose the type Allergic Reaction. Describe what happened and what you did, and the family is notified. See Report and review incidents.
