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.

✨ At Bear-n-Buttons, we know allergy awareness is about more than avoiding triggers—it’s about creating a safe, supportive environment for your baby to grow and thrive. Trust your instincts, take notes, and don’t hesitate to seek medical guidance.
