MedicAlert/Medical ID bracelets for infants

I recently found temporary food allergy alert tattoos by SafetyTat. I really wish I had them when my daughter was younger and couldn't communicate. There are several different types. They have a quick stick tattoo that you use a special pen to write on the allergy and your cell phone. That one stays on up to 2 weeks. I have the one that is applied with a damp cloth. It's pre-printed with peanut allergy and my cell phone. That one stays on 1 to 5 days. My daughter just wore one to a Girl Scout event. I plan on her wearing them to summer camps, field trips, etc. It might be the perfect solution for you.

I liked them so much, that I contacted SafetyTat about doing a give-away. Right now, I'm giving away a couple of sample packs and have a discount code for 10% off a $15 order.

I just ordered braclets from Oneida nameplate for my 11 month old and 3 yo boys. The arrived the other day and the clasp appears very sturdy and they have you measure so that the fit will be relatively snug. We haven't worn them yet, b/c the Easter bunny is bringing them with the boys' safe candy. (Figured that would be the best way to get my 3 yo on board with the idea) I plan on having the 11 month old (who puts EVERTHING in his mouth)wear his just during the day for now, so I can assess how he does with it and how safe it seems.

For my 2 year old daughter, I ordered a sports band bracelet that attaches with velcro. The medical id information is handwritten on a paper that is tucked in an inside pouch on the band. She's old enough where I can tell her not to mess with it. Might be a little big on an infant, but could possibly work as an ankle bracelet...

The Easter bunny brought the boys their medical ID braclets yesterday. They fit so snugly I was concerned that they would have reddened areas or irritation, as both boys have very sensitive skin. Neither has had a complaint and their skin doesn't have a mark on it- even after sleep. I do see the value in beginning to have them wear the braclets as early as possible...my 12 month old has already forgotten about his (so I even left it on overnight), but my 3 yo keeps asking if he "can be done" with his- if only he knew...lol!
