Allergic to Banana
« on: April 29, 2009, 14:31:52 pm »
My DD is 5.5 months and we started solids a month ago she  loves the cereals and everything ive tried she loves i noticed when giving her banana shortly after she would get small spots on her face,ears and it seemed to be irritateing her she only had it for 3 days b4 i stopped giving it to her and now 4 days later it has cleared alltogether she would have just a small piece sat on my lap or mixed with a bit of formula has anyone else had similar reactions to a banana? If she does have a allergy will she grow out of it or will she always be allergic thanx for any help

Hi Jade,
My dd may have an allergy/intolerance to banana - we're not sure yet - it corresponded w/a cold (her symptoms are GI related, vomitting, etc).  But a LO can have an allergy to any food - no rhyme or reason.  Most food allergies are outgrown, but some aren't (clear as mud huh?).  You could try again in a couple of months and see how she does.  Since she had a reaction though be careful introducing other foods - do them one at a time and for at least 4 days. 

Good luck!!
