Definitely ask the pediatrician first. Even if you send a quick message on Monday morning. I hear that allergic reactions can get worse overtime and sometimes they take a couple of exposures before you get the big reaction.
For me, I go into anaphylactic shock when I eat tree nuts, so I always err on the side of caution when it comes to babies and allergies!
They say if a sensitivity occurs to pause that food for a couple weeks then try again
thank you mamas!
My baby got red hives on her face after a few foods. It looks more like a skin reaction cause she got red whatever the food touched her face and she didn’t have any other symptoms. The doctor told me it’s reasonably common for a skin reaction to occur. She said to wait and re-introduce in another 4-6 months and she may have outgrown it.
