DS very sick after eating banana and avocado (not together)

[LittleDoe]

My DS is just over 6 months and so we are just getting started on the whole weaning journey....not going particularly smoothly but that's another story.

Anyway we him banana for b'fast a couple of weeks ago and he was pretty violently sick a few hours later. At the time I wasn't sure if it was what he had eaten or a stomach bug but just put it down to experience.

Today he had avocado on toast for lunch (we're doing a bit of a mix of BLW and some spoon feeding) and same thing happened again - several fairly huge vomits a couple of hours later and he appeared to just completely empty his wee stomach.

Is it normal to have a reaction like this to fairly standard weaning type foods?

Maybe give him less? TBH I know BLW works for a lot of people but I stole most of my ideas from Annabel Karmel's Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. I didn't follow it to the letter, just stole her ideas and recipes on first foods and found that they went down well in the first 3 months of introducing solids.

But this flies in the face of BLW I believe

I did BLW and had no problems but had a friend who also tried and her DD was sick after eating banana and discovered she had an allergy - bananas and latex are in the same family IIRC so maybe something to watch out for. Don't know about avocado.

mmm just googled and avocado seems to be on the same list here

Hi there,

I' m not an allergy expert however I do know that some tropical foods (banana/avo/kiwi) can potentially contain same allergen, and, as SMAC said be an indicator of possible latex allergy.

I don't want to scare you but defo something to think about.

HTH
