My boy twin is 6 1/2 months and we started weaning a couple of weeks ago.
He's developed eczema patches at around 5 months old, that are getting worse, esp on his face.
His face has come out in a blotchy red rash when eating porridge, philly on rice cake and cheese on toast. The rash fades after half an hour or so and doesn't seem to bother him.
I haven't yet given him tomatoes, strawberries or citrus fruit as I know they are a common trigger for his kind of rash.
He has had a jacket potato with olive margarine (not dairy free) with no reaction, and he had a tuna mayo sandwich for lunch today with no reaction.
He's exclusively breast fed, though had a daily bottle of formula from 6 wks to 3 months, until he turned his nose up at the bottle. There was no noticeable reaction to the formula.
My question is, is it likely that the skin rash is just that, a skin rash, or is it likely to be a symptom of an allergy? He's actually eating minute quantities atm, in fact a lot of the time I'm not convinced he swallows anything at all, but presumably he will at some point!
His poo was very green tonight too, coming to think of it, and it's usually yellowy.
Thank you
