To help raise awareness about serious food allergies in your children, Brittany Mahomes has teamed up with Auvi-Q epinephrine injection to talk about the topic.
In his latest Instagram post, Mahomes reflected on how he took his 1-year-old son, Bronze, to the emergency room over the summer due to a peanut allergy. “Like all moms, my children’s safety and happiness is my number one priority,” she explained. “I recently received a lot of support from other moms and parents after sharing my experience with Bronze’s severe allergic reaction to peanuts.”
Brittany Mahomes later said that her two children, Bronze and Sterling, 3, have severe food allergies. “I think it’s very important to raise awareness about what a serious reaction it could be if it happened to a child,” she continued. “From my experience, I can tell you that a severe reaction may not look like what you think it should look like.”
While she didn’t share the symptoms of Bronze’s allergic reaction, she did say that she and her husband, Patrick, immediately spoke to their pediatrician about medications for future incidents.
“Your child’s safety is the most important thing when you are away from home,” he said. She added that it is very important to educate others on how to use the injectors in case of an emergency.
Brittany Mahomes opened up about scary allergic reaction last month
During an interview with PEOPLE Last month, Brittany Mahomes had an in-depth conversation about what happened to Bronze last summer.
“I can relate to all the moms and families who have to deal with children with severe food allergies,” she told the news outlet. Mahomes noted that the holiday season is extremely difficult when gatherings and activities revolve around food.
“It’s very special to be able to help these people and reassure them that they are not alone,” Brittany Mahomes continued. She later said that she and Patrick are always very aware of what foods and drinks are in their house.
“We recently found out that my son Bronze has a severe peanut allergy, which led to a scary trip to the emergency room,” she explained. “It was one of the scariest days of my life.”
Fortunately, Bronze was fine after the situation. However, she has a hard time making sure all the food is safe in his room. “I’ve had to deal with this new way of life,” Brittany said. “And ensure my family is safe inside and outside the home.”
As for her daughter’s allergies, Brittany said she and Patrick have known about Sterling’s allergies since she was a baby. “We’ve been learning more about the major milestones of childhood,” she added. “And we’re so grateful to continue discovering helpful resources along the way.”
