Food allergies on a 5 month old??

Question

Ive recently over the past month have been testing out fruits/veggies....he will get like little dry patches on his chest and shoulder, they are pink in color...they will last a few days and be gone...Do you think he's having a food allergy to the baby food?? Or is it normal??

Answer 1

You are not supposed to feed a baby solid food before 6 months and then only rice cereal and slowly introduce foods one at a time. Some experts believe that introducing foods too early sets the baby up for food allergies.  

Answer 2

my 18week old girl sometimes gets that...i put it down to dry skin as she has a bath every evening and sometimes she isnt in themood for me to put lotion on,but when i do they go away...

Answer 3

It's possible. When i was a baby i was REALLY allergic to apple juice. I would break out with this blotchy rash, and turn all red. Luckily it was only temporary. I am 20 years old now, and i love apple juice.

Answer 4

Have a look at 'fedupwithfoodadditives' also known as failsafe which is a really good website on children's intolerances and allergies to salicylates in fruit and vegetables and also additives in food.
