Food allergies ibaby: Ask your pediatrician for advice but generally find out what the baby can eat and if there are enough different foods, rotate the foods so that the baby does not eat the same foods repetitively. Also breast feed verses formulas if possible.

Workup/mgt: The reaction typically will occur within four hours of ingestion of the food. If your baby is starting a new food, three days without introduction of another new food is recommended. Observe her/him for any rash, GI upset or breathing difficulties during this introductory period. If you note any changes alert your pediatrician. I would recommend a food CAP panel if food allergy is suspected.
