Just given ds2 (1 year old) a baked potato with cottage cheese & pineapple. He's had cottage cheese before, I think but not 100% sure... I lose track. He was fine until he tasted a bit of pineapple when he spat it out and examined it in disgust then chucked it on the floor. Then the next mouthful of cottage cheese he spat out (in anticipation?) which smeared around the top part of his mouth.
When I cleaned him up later, I noticed a pattern of red all around the top of his mouth in the exact pattern of where he's spat the cottage cheese out. Didn't look overly swollen but a definite red skin mark. Does this mean he was allergic to something in that?
Now, he's a yoghurt and cheese ADDICT so I'm fairly confident that it's not a dairy allergy (we just would have noticed by now, I'm sure of it). Is it possible to be allergic to pineapple? Or is it just sensitive skin to the acidic nature of pineapple?
Just seems like an odd thing to be allergic to seeing as he's shown no sign of allergies whatsoever up to now and has a pretty extensive diet.
