Signs of an Allergic Reaction
Watch for these symptoms after new foods or environmental exposure:
- Rash, hives, or flushed skin
- Swelling of lips, eyes, or face
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Persistent coughing, wheezing, or trouble breathing
- Extreme fussiness or inconsolable crying
⚠️ Severe reactions (anaphylaxis) require immediate emergency care. Call 911 if your baby has difficulty breathing, sudden swelling, or loss of responsiveness.
Supporting Your Baby at Home
- Introduce new foods one at a time to track reactions.
- Keep a log of foods and symptoms if you suspect sensitivities.
- Wash bedding and soft toys regularly to reduce dust and allergens.
- Ask your pediatrician about allergy testing if reactions are frequent.
