Is this an allergic reaction?

My LO has a cows milk protein allergy but I suspect she has other allergies/intolerances. I started weaning her and have been giving her a new food every 3 days. She did fine with banana which was the first thing I have her. I felt like her stomach got a bit upset after giving her avocado so I stopped and gave her a break for a couple days. I then gave her apple for 2 days. She started to get hiccups and since this was one of the symptoms she had when she had cows milk I assume she can't handle apple. I'm now giving her oats. 5-10 minutes after eating she sneezes a couple times and coughs for a bit. I'm not sure if this is an allergic reaction or if she's just getting used to solid food. It's a bit confusing because I don't know if it's all a continued reaction from one thing I gave her or if she really is allergic to multiple things. Her stools have been mucousy but again I'm not sure if that is normal when you start weaning

Sneezing and hiccuping are very normal whether weaning or not. I think the main symptoms you need to look out for are rashes and bowel issues (although this can be normal when they start weaning.) Try and relax and don't fixate on allergies, introduce allergins when you're ready and systematically but please don't fret. Good luck! X
