[quote=Anonymous]My seven month old was diagnosed with a peanut allergy after having a mild reaction. The allergist visit was less than pleasant, and I'm now noticing myself having anxious feelings around trying new solids. We've stuck to mostly "safe" foods, but I know I need to start introducing other possible allergens sooner rather than later. We tried a muffin as part of the baked egg challenge, but he was less than thrilled by the texture. Even with the small amount he consumed, I questioned every red mark/eye rub. I'm not sure I'm assessing each new food correctly, so what are possible next steps? Has anyone tested additional allergens before a child consumed them? Should I find an allergist that will do food challenges? How well does a food challenge work with babies who are still just getting used to solids? Looking for some supportive answers, so please be kind (Ha!). Thanks in advance.[/quote]
