Baldwin, 38, opened up about her son’s health scare in a lengthy poston Instagram, beginning a caption of a photo of herself and Edu, “Never a dull moment for us…”

Noting that her son “is ok now and home,” she told her followers she wanted to let them know that an EpiPen “is a lifesaving tool” that can be incredibly useful for sudden allergic reactions.
“He was in such distress and I believe it may have saved him today,” she explained. “If your doctor thinks you should keep one at home, make sure you know how to use it in advance, because these reactions can come on so strongly and quickly.”
