Today i went to the mall to do some shopping..
lately i have been giving izzy some mashed pumpkin at about 4pm every night. well everythings been going great with that, and shes enjoying them...
Today i thought i'd buy some pears and bananas ( already made in a jar ) she had already had pears before and enjoyed them....
I gave her the pears and bananas in the shopping mall and 5 minutes later her whole face burst out in a rash, and her eyes went all puffy.. so i raced her into the pharmacy where they said to keep her there for 10 mins encase her airway blocks up.. they checked her tongue and airway to see if it was swollen....but it wasnt.
Well she was FINE... but i was freaked shitless...
Turns out she is allergic to bananas...
DAMN THAT WAS FREAKY !! ↓

Oh that would have freaked me out too---
something like that happened with my nephew and cashews....he was about 14months and my sil was at walmart snacking on cashews and gave him a nibble---almost instantly he started throwing up and swelling, but luckily it didn't block any air ways either...
of corse nut allergies are pretty common too. I guess they say you can "grow out of them"---but who would want to test it to make sure. lol. ↑ |

It could be something in the food as well Rosey... I don't know what brands you have over there, but all the big ones here (Gerber, Heinz, Natures Best, Beech Nut) add thickeners and preservatives to their foods. They use things like corn maize and wheat. The trouble is that they are not required to list them on the ingredients labe so you never know what your baby is getting in each jar. Lots of parents think it's the fruit or veggie, but it's actually something like wheat.
That is still so scary though! I am glad she is ok. ↑ |

| Oh and Candice, I grew out of a nut allergy. I developed on in grade school. Ate a peanut butter cookie and my throat closed up. I had to carry and EPI pen around... about 4 years later though it cleared up. It was still so scary though b/c there is peanuts/peanut oil in everything! ↑ |
