DS is nearly 6 months and has been grabbing things off plates and shoving them in his mouth for about a week so we've just started offering him food from our plates.
So far he's been fine with bread, sausage, potato, broccoli, yoghurt, chocolate mousse. He only eats a very tiny bit (usually about 4 mouthfuls) but he had a bit of scrambled egg today and had an allergic reaction (all round his mouth redness with white dots).
I've read a bit of Baby-led Weaning by Rapley & Merkett which suggests egg is ok if from around 6 months (he's 6 months in about 2 weeks) but doesn't say what to do if your baby has an allergic reaction, only that they'll probably grow out of it.
Has anyone experienced this? Did it get worse? Did you see your GP? Did it just get better? And was your DC allergic to egg but not when baked in cakes for example?
There's no family history of egg allergy btw.
