Q&A–: Did yout baby ever get food allergies from Baby foods?
I started letting my daughter eat baby foods. (bananas, apples, carrots jar) and rice cereal. She started getting a rash on her butt and under her stomach. She has a runny nose for 2 days. Those are signs of food allergies. But it could also be because she has a diaper rash. And the runny nose could be from getting cold at night. I asked the Dr. and he said it looks like a diaper rash. But i want to be certain its not food allergies. Do any of you mothers have any helpful tips?

I breastfed for a very long time….my daughter has no food allergies or any other kinds of allergies.
My breasts aren’t quite what they once were but it was worth it.
LOL

I’m not a mother, but my little sister was allergic to half the foods on the planet, and I grabbed the other half, it seems.
If you go to an allergist, they can perform a lovely test that discovers a huge number of allergies.
I would suggest doing what Mom did. Even after the tests, she made up a notebook and detailed everything that we came into contact with, along with any symptoms that we experienced in the day. After months and years of correlating data, she was fairly sure what we were allergic to.
Answer by Belladonna
Any food can give a person allergies. it dosent matter if its baby food or not. My son began to have allergies at 8 weeks old. I would keep a journal of what she eats and what happens, only introduce 1 food at a time. then give it a day or two before a new one. If you notice something, don’t give and see what happens. then introduce it again and see if the symptoms come back. Obviously if a reaction is really bad you wouldn’t want to do that. Then if you do notice something you can take it to your doctor. If you still think maybe there is something after you do this and your doctor wont listen go to a allergist or get a second opinion from another Pediatrician
Answer by whalelvr72
chances are its diaper rash…if it were a food allergy it would not be limited to the bottom and stomach area, it would be all over the body.
Answer by sissy
Yes my son did, and still has a problem with allergies now. I would not suggest the allergy test until she is older, for the reason they won’t give my son the test. He may eat something today that he has ate all his life and have a reaction to it, so if they do the test it really won’t be accurate, it will tell us what we already know. As young as your daughter is this could be the same scenario. I would suggest you keep a chart of the foods she is eating and only introduce one new food at a time for at least one week at a time.
The rash could be an allergic reaction to a juice she is drinking since it is in the diaper area, or just a reaction to the acid in the juice, like orange juice.
For the diaper rash, I would wash her bottom with a warm wet bath cloth only, do not use baby wipes she could also be allergic to them. If you are a stay at home Mom, let me suggest what my pediatrician told me that really helps with diaper rash…When you put the baby down for a nap do not put a diaper on her, just lay a changing pad under her, the fresh air helps to encourage healing and not having any clothing on prevents less urine and bm from being soaked into the skin.
You may want to cut out all foods except cereal for 1 week, then add bananas for 1 week, if all is well add 1 more food, continue to do this until you are sure of what she can or can not have.
I think I would also leave off the juice, give water and milk only for 1 week, when adding the juice to her diet, dilute it for awhile, like 1/2 juice and 1/2 water.
Good Luck, Sweety

There are always some sort of preservatives in canned and jar foods. Check that they are 100% fruit, containing NO preservatives. if there is even one in there I would suggest you start mashing your own banana, stewing your own apples and giving her FRESH foods.
Answer by sarah a
Why don’t you give her fresh food instead of jars? It’s so easy and so much cheaper to buy lots of fruit or veg, cooked it all up, puree and freeze in ice cube trays. Then you would know that she is getting all natural. When introducing new foods, only give her a new one every three days, then if she gets a reaction to one, you will know which one it is!
The rash could be associated with teething, she could have nanny rash, runny nose, dribblying alot too.
Answer by countrygirl7361
Sounds like you might be a first time mom. I worried about every little thing when I had mine. It sounds like your baby just has an old diaper rash of which “Desitin” works wonders! And babies are so easy to catch colds and just little sniffles here and there. I think it’s wonderful of you to be so concerned so keep on being the good mommy you are and try not to worry to much about the “little” things. I think if it were allergies to foods that the rash would be on other parts of her body. Especially on her face. I’ll be sure and keep you in my prayers honey and have a great time watch’in her grow up because they grow too fast and she’ll be grown before you know it! It happened to me…LoL! @-}-}——
Answer by nimo22
My daughter was actually allergic to the banana baby food. She would get a rash on her face. Then later on I had given her some cranberry applesauce, and she got the worst rash on her bottom, it was horrible. It turned out she was allergic to any kind of berries, or it’s possible it was the red food coloring used (this also happened with strawberry applesauce when she was 2). I don’t think the runny nose is caused by food allergies, that can be caused from a cold or even teething. But it’s possible the rash is from that. When I told the nurse at my Dr.’s office about my daughter getting a rash from eating banana baby food, she told me that that is actually pretty common even though that’s one of the first baby foods they recommend for baby’s. So I just stopped giving it to her. The apples and rice cereal should be okay, I really bet it’s the bananas. My daughter is 6 now and she can eat both bananas and berries, her system just wasn’t ready for them when she was a baby and toddler.

Hello, I’m going through the same with my 6mth old daughter. I started her on baby foods (mix of organic jars/homemade organic purees) and baby rice about 5 weeks ago. She’s had a mild rash on her tummy and bottom off an on every since – I wasn’t worried as it was so mild and seemed to come and go, especially as she started teething at the same tim – lots of chewing and drool from mouth and nose. I assumed it was daiper rash or a reaction to baby wipes, until the rash started to get worse last week (I’d introduced a second meal of baby rice at breakfast) spreading to her legs and face. The Dr, confirmed it wasn’t daiper rash but a food allergy. I’m slowly going through each food she’s had (both jars & homemade, one fruit or veg one day at a time, noting her reactions, and I’ve cut out baby rice completely. One week on and I’m beginning to think she’s allergic to baby rice as we’ve not had any recurrence. Hope this helps and good luck!

Q&A–: What are the signs a baby has food allergies?
I’m just starting my daughter on solids and my doctor told me to feed her only one new food a weeks and watch for food allergies, but she didn’t specify exactly what symptoms I should be watching for.

Answer by Sexy Mama
Trust me you will know right away that something is wrong. Rash is the 1st thing.
Answer by twinMum
most common are skin rashes, breathing difficulties in severe cases swelling of the lips or other parts of the body (go to hospital if that happens).
Answer by I Need to Answer!
He will cry and cry and cry. Babies only cry for a reason. If its not the nappy, then its food allergy.
You may need to change the milk
Answer by Fauna
My niece was allergic to cow’s milk since she was a newborn. My sis discovered that she kept vomiting terribly — the projectile kind, crying, and just allover sick. The doctor diagnosed her as milk allergic — and while my sis was nursing, she couldn’t eat any dairy herself, because it was getting into her milk.
So if your baby had any severe allergies as my niece had from the start, you may have noticed it right away through your diet, if you nursed.
As far as watching now for symptoms as you introduce her to foods, look for swollen lips (you’ll notice it, believe me), wheezing, difficulty breathing (she’ll be fussy most likely as well), rash – itchy hives.
If you’re still nervous and unsure, don’t hesitate to call the doctor and ask specifically what symptoms to look for and any other questions you might have.
Answer by Janet R
Just keep an eye on her skin and her nappies – if she has an allergy, she will develop a rash and probably have diaorreah. If it is really bad, she may start to have difficulty breathing but this is very unlikely if you are only just trying things like fruit and veg rather than peanuts! A new food may take a few days to work through her system, and thats why you should leave a few days between introducing new foods, so that you know if she gets ill what has caused it.
Answer by crazedmikele
Wow, reading some of these responses, I learned a lot–and I have four kids.
Anyway, I noticed a sensitivity to certain foods by their poop. If it was runny and they developed a diaper rash, then I knew the newest food was the culprit. My daughters outgrew the allergies after a while, but the milk allergy is still apparent in two of them.
Answer by Tina
Are you breastfeeding? If so, it is possible that foods from your diet will also affect her. But, there is no reason to adjust your diet unless you have noticed symptoms.
Do you have allergies (food or otherwise) or a history of allergies and asthma in your family? For infants not genetically predisposed to having allergies, waiting at least 3-5 days gives time for increased exposure to the food to show common issues. Sometimes it can take awhile for a tolerance level to be hit, which is why infants that are genetically predisposed to wait at least a week or more. Eating the food once may not cause any noticeable problem but eating that food many times might. Foods can take days or weeks to completely leave the body (dairy is especially slow to leave the body – it can take a week or two to see improvement and a month or two for it to completely leave your system, most other foods, a few days to a week may do fine), so if you do see reactions, it is preferable to let the food causing the reaction to completely leave the body before trying a new food. If your daughter is predisposed, you probably should hold off the more allergenic foods for the proposed timeline – You can look this up – things like peanuts/tree nuts, fish, shellfish and eggs have stamps for not trying them before a year – for the predisposed it can be several years, especially for nuts and shellfish.
The most common allergic symptoms are eczema, hives, anal ring diaper rash (red area focused around the anus), unusual stools (could affect color, texture and smell – fluorescent green, uncharacteristically gassy/smelly, bloody, black (could indicate occult blood meaning bleeding coming from the gastric tract), diarrhea too often). Trouble breathing is generally a more dangerous symptom. Sometimes things like asthma, constant congestion/runny nose could be a hint, depending. Allergy shiners, where the kids have puffy under-eyes, could be a hint. Refusal to eat certain foods may or not mean anything. Stomachaches and general crankiness could be a hint or mean other issues. Some immunologic reactions to foods don’t include the rashes or breathing issues, but instead manifest in other ways (celiac, gluten intolerance, gastrointestinal issues, eosinophilic diseases, even behavioral issues)
Anaphylactic reactions are those where more than one body system is affected, i.e. breathing issues in addition to hives. In these cases, you need to bring the infant to the ER or call 911. Talk to your doctor and get epinephrine injectors to keep at home in case of emergency. These will speed up your child’s systems to help her process the allergen faster and could save her life. If you use epinephrine, you need to go to the ER (or call 911) afterwards.
Be aware of changes in your daughter – allergies can even cause behavioral reactions (and nothing else!) or symptoms that develop slowly or worsen over time. Sometimes kids with less usual symptoms are diagnosed later, because doctors do not identify food allergies as the cause. Although food allergies are being diagnosed more frequently, sometimes the only indication is reactions, and allergy tests are negative or falsely positive. Pay attention to reactions. If you notice issues, you should keep a food diary for what you and your child eat on a daily basis. It can help to show patterns of reaction that you might not notice otherwise.
In our case, our son was growing fine, and then started to fall off the growth curve. He tested positive to many foods before he was on solids, and it turns out he was very sensitive to food proteins in my milk. I went on a strict elimination diet and he improved, slowly but surely. He is now 4 1/2 and is still off of peanuts/all tree nuts, fish and shellfish, eggs, wheat, dairy, soy and oats. He has had reactions to many more foods in the past but is able to have those now in moderation. Myself, I was never able to really go back to eating the foods I had to get off of, so now nursing my daughter (15 months), I am still off more foods than my son. My daughter has reacted to dairy and spices (as well as potentially other unknowns) via breastmilk also, so I have to be careful with cheating on my diet. She has never had any of those foods I have trouble with as solid intake, except for oats, which we have also pulled after some reactions.
Hopefully you will see no issues. There’s no need to worry either, just because your doctor gave this precaution. Just take the foods slowly and go with your gut. My son wasn’t ready for solids until 9 months.
Good luck! Hope your baby enjoys solids 
Remember that breast milk and formula are primary caloric intake for the first year and solids are for fun
