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.

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.
