Baby Food Allergies?

Rachel

Is anyone else dealing with a lot of food allergies? I’m feeling so down about it 😣

I exclusively breastfed for almost 9 months. Then I pumped and supplemented with formula until he was a year.

Since I was breastfeeding i knew he had a dairy sensitivity, and once we started solids I could see it was an allergy because of the horrible face rash it gave him. I have a horrible egg allergy, so I’ve put off giving him eggs, and yesterday we tried peanut butter for the second or third time and he had an all over horrible reaction that left us in the ER for several hours.

Aside from my egg allergy, neither of us have any family history of any kind of food intolerance or allergy, so him having 3 allergies is baffling, especially since fighting food allergies was probably the biggest reason I tried to breastfeed as long as I could.

I brought up his dairy allergy to his doctor several times, each time they told me it didn’t sound serious, and they didn’t like to do allergy tests until baby was 2 or 3, but after yesterday I’m terrified to feed him anything 😣

Any good websites or suggestions on how to deal with a poor baby as a scared mom?

Sad baby after two shots and too many iv tries 😔
