A member asked:
Is it possible for a four month old breastfed baby have allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Infants can have food allergies early on to many items you may have consumed in pregnancy. Airborn particles are more likely to produce irritant effects ( like smoke or fumes) than allergies. Washing the nasal menbranes in infants with saline will reduce some of their chronic congestion.If they have eczema &or chronic nasal drainage i often send kids for food allergy tests, >1/3 are +.
