allergic to sweet potatoes????
« on: February 24, 2009, 01:46:31 am »
Not sure if my DS is having an allergic reaction to the sweet potatoes I just introduced to him yesterday... I fed him again today but this time I noticed his nose was running and his eyes were watering and his skin on the face was red and bumpy... Could this be an allergic reaction??? I didn't notice this yesterday..but then again yesterday I fed him during dinner (which I now know I should have started at breakfast).... Not sure if he is starting to get a cold or what? I'm thinking of waiting a few days before giving him the sweet potatoes again but has anyone of heard of an allergic reaction to them??? ???

Hard to say hat things babies can be allergic to other than the usual suspects, ie peanutbutter, etc.  How about just stopping for a few days and see if he will improve.  If it does improve then wait a few weeks before introducing again.  In the meantime you can try other foods.  Remember that it isn't necessary for him to eat everything that is suggested.  FWIW, both of mine did not like sweet potatoes when they were younger.  DD still don't like them and ds just recently likes them.  They will eat everything else but not that.

Hope he gets better!

BTW I wanted Xavier to be ds' middle name but dh veto me.  :(

Awww... My husband chose the name Xavier. He loved it since he was a kid. I guess it brings back childhood memories of the comicbook "X-Men"..LOL :)
But thanks for the advice. I didn't feed him the sweet potatoes today. I'll hold off and see if he gets better. His nose is still runny so I'm thinking he could have a cold.
