Reaction to pineapple?
in Baby
Trying to be a little experimental and to offer my lo a variety of different things for his breakfast, I gave him a little bit of pineapple as he has had it before and it seemed to go down ok, however I opened a pack of pre packed pineapple this morning and a couple of minutes after putting it to his mouth, his cheeks and round his nose and mouth came out in a red rash. It is going down now and he is fine, no swelling or anything but I wonder why when he had it the first time he was ok but this time he looks like hes had a reaction. Any ideas??

I "think" (im no expert) the body can deal with certain amounts of a type of food eg the first few bits of pineapple but when you tried it again his allergic response flaired up?!
Either that or as it was pre packed was it in different juice? Or had different fruit with it? Packaged in different environment etc?
Allergys are confusing i'd discuss with HV/GP just for advice on whether to avoid completely etc

Thanks very much for your reply's, they are very helpful. Phoenix05 thats very scary what happened to you, i'm worried about giving my lo peanuts in case of anaphylactic shock/reaction although he is only 9 months and i don't intend to give him any atm but does anyone know what age you can give your child peanuts? I don't think i'll be giving him pineapple again in a hurry until i've spoken with the GP
