Food allergy??? Pls advise...

[tulip_nel]

Dear Mummies,

My son, 7 month old, is having red rashes spread around his tummy. It start three days ago, and that time i just start to give him porridge with pumpkin, and i have been giving him for 2 days (4 feed)...

At first, i thought it was heat rashes as he has experiencing it recently due to hot weather... but it was always at the neck area and below ear...

But yesterday morning, the rashes seems a bit better, but today morning it seems worsen with few more red spot.. and he is drinking less milk also...

I am not certain whether it is due to food allergy... kindly advise..

If yes, should i bring him to doctors now or it can heal by itself?

Are you breastfeeding? Allergens can also be passed on from your milk to your baby. when I was breastfeeding and ate peanuts, my boy will break into a rash after drinking my milk.

Other than pumpkin, is there anything new that you started? Like biscuits?

Usually heat rashes will subside if you keep the area cool and clean.

Allergic reactions from food usually occur 10-15min or up to an hr after the food is fed.
