So my 2yo has had a previous allergic reaction to egg ,
first tried when about 7/8 months and I gave them an omelette , they got blotchy on the face and itchy as they kept on rubbing their hand on their eye so I just thought maybe that was a one off .
the second time I made myself an omelette and didn’t wash my hands after handling the cooked egg , I touched the back of their neck and they broke out in a splotchy rash .
when they were around 10 months , my mum tried them with a hard boiled egg as I was explaining how I think they may have an allergic reaction .
well a good 15-20 mins my child went splotchy and rashy around the mouth , as well as hives and then progressed to slight but visible swelling of the ears nose and lips .
they're 2 now and since finding out about this allergy I’ve only given them small bits of highly baked egg products , as stated on the egg ladder , such as scotch pancakes or muffins from the shop , no reaction ! Which is great and I’ve given them a quarter of a hard boiled egg and no reaction either however they didn’t want to other bit so I wondered if maybe it made their mouth tingle etc ?
I’m just so stuck on how to break that barrier and making myself confident enough to carry on , I’m a very anxious person and I’m worried . Just need some advice or encouragement that’s all ,
thank you
