Just wondering if my 6mo LO may have a slight intolerance to dairy? I've been feeding him a baby porridge (made of spelt) that contains milk and have noticed his mouth and cheeks turning red after eating it. The redness goes away within 20min and there haven't been any other effects I've noticed. (ok. a little eczema too)
Anyway, I made him Oatmeal tonight and fortified it with formula. Same reaction! The only thing I can think of that both the wheat and the oat cereal have in common is the lactose.
He has had oatmeal before without the formula and nothing happened. Also, I've given him crackers with wheat and he does not react.
So, how can I be certain? I bought some yogurt and thought of testing him....
I have a doc's appointment next week, so I'll get some professional advice. But, until then, anyone?
PS I have only been using the formula for the DF.
