Gave my 7 month old an Ella’s kitchen pouch today (on the go I use them!).
I noticed a couple of hours later that under her chin / neck area was red and slightly inflamed. She was also being much fussier than normal and by the time I got home was inconsolable (this would’ve been 4.5 hours after giving her the pouch, she also was tired as had a rubbish nap).
I thought maybe it was the bib she was wearing… maybe she reacted to it but not sure why she wouldn’t react to other clothing items.
Then I checked the ingredients of the pouch and it contained egg which I’d not given her before… lesson learned to check before giving her pouches.
Does this sound like it could be an egg reaction?
It isn’t like a rash it’s just red, still hasn’t really gone down now.

I'm not sure. My little boy reacted more quickly to egg and it was more rash-like around the mouth the first couple of times. Later reactions included asthma and 'nettle rash' all across torso and face was blotchy red and white. He has other allergies too and avoids the necessary foods and carries an epipen now.
But I'm not sure from the reaction you describe. DS has also reacted to the chemicals in clothing. I wash new clothes before use now if they'll touch the skin directly.
