One of<br \/>\n    those sandwich crackers with a barely there layer of probably<br \/>\n    fake peanut butter in the middle. While the general guideline<br \/>\n    is to wait until a child is at least one year old before<br \/>\n    introducing peanut butter, I figured she would be ok since we<br \/>\n    have no food allergies on either side of the family, Lex has<br \/>\n    had no reactions to anything and Eve so far has had no reaction<br \/>\n    to any foods either. Ten minutes later she looked like<br \/>\n    this:<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/R-B4U3XigDI\/AAAAAAAACkw\/uKUv36qT-6U\/s1600-h\/IMG_1277.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/R-B4U3XigDI\/AAAAAAAACkw\/uKUv36qT-6U\/s320\/IMG_1277.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179271871331467314\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>The rash didn&#8217;t seem to bother her,<br \/>\n    but I felt awful! I put them both in the tub (bath time anyway)<br \/>\n    and washed her face really well, all the while mentally<br \/>\n    preparing myself for a trip to the ER. Luckily it cleared up<br \/>\n    quickly and was barely noticeable an hour later and completely<br \/>\n    gone when I put her to bed 1.5hrs after the cracker incident.<\/p>\n<p>I emailed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennifershu.com\">Dr. Shu<\/a>, our old<br \/>\n    pedi, because she is a fantastic pedi and uses email<br \/>\n    religiously. She said it could most definitely be a nut allergy<br \/>\n    and said to get in touch with the pedi on call tonight to see<br \/>\n    what we should. Conveniently the pedi on call is Eve&#8217;s regular<br \/>\n    doctor so we had a nice chat. She said to not worry about it<br \/>\n    for now, since the rash is gone and Eve is sleeping comfortably<br \/>\n    with no swelling or breathing problems. We will discuss more at<br \/>\n    her 1yr check up in a few weeks and we may have her tested for<br \/>\n    nut allergies. Obviously I will not be giving her peanut butter<br \/>\n    again in the near future. I feel so guilty. I know, logically,<br \/>\n    that she would have had the same reaction had I waited two more<br \/>\n    weeks, but emotionally the guilt is still there. I also HOPE<br \/>\n    HOPE HOPE it was a fluke and she doesn&#8217;t really have a nut<br \/>\n    allergy because peanut butter is a staple in this house. If she<br \/>\n    does, it must not be too sensitive because she&#8217;s spent her<br \/>\n    whole life, including in utero, around the stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, let&#8217;s all hope she has no allergies<br \/>\n    and it was just a strange and random coincidence :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a moment of bad momminess (I was tired and she was begging) I gave Eve a peanut butter cracker.
