Hello. I posted on here a week ago about my DS who is 6 months old because I thought he had an allergic reaction to cows milk.
I saw my HV today about it and she said I should give it to him again to check whether he has another reaction and if he does I should give him baby piriton.
Am really nervous about this, is there a risk that he could have a bad reaction? The first time, he had a little bit of milk and he came up in a hives type rash around his mouth. He also has eczema and has been sick since birth which I put down to reflux. He is small (2nd centile for weight). He has been fully breastfed so that one bit of cows milk is all he has had (thanks DH!).
I suspect I'm being a paranoid mummy but I feel really worried about giving him something he might be allergic to. Someone on here mentioned testing it on his skin but I don't really understand how to do that or if that in itself could be dangerous.
