(for my records)
At
dinner tonight Eve got another facial rash, similar to the
peanut rash she got before only a bit smaller. She ate a
blueberry bagel with cream cheese (a favorite and frequent
meal), warm chocolate milk (warm milk with a little bit of
Hershey’s syrup) and a half a kiwi. She’s never had the
chocolate syrup before, but she’s had plenty of other chocolate
things. I’m almost positive I’ve given her kiwi before, but I
think that’s the more likely culprit here. I didn’t give her
any more (despite her requesting it) and the rash cleared up
within the hour, much like the peanut rash. I did a quick
search tonight and kiwi seems to be a common allergen. Sooo…
I guess we’re done with kiwi for awhile. At least until our
appointment with the allergist at the end of the month.
Sometimes I wonder if I did something wrong
with her early feedings. Alan did such a good job of
documenting and tracking Lex’s food intake and following the
Super Baby Food “food introduction” schedule, but I was so much
more lax with Eve. I started her on solids a bit earlier, gave
her banana first instead of cereal, etc. Nothing that should
have caused any problems, but sometimes I wonder… On the
other hand, now Lex will only eat a few select things and Eve
eats anything and everything! :)
Anyway,
we shall see what the allergist has to say.
