if you see mild symptoms such as hives or a rash contact your pediatrician who will make an appointment for allergy testing for your child. once your baby’s specific allergies are identified the doctor will give you an action plan for managing the allergies (usually eliminating the food from your baby’s diet) and dealing with accidental exposures. remember just because a baby’s initial allergic reaction to a new food may be mild it may not stay that way. talk to your pediatrician about any food allergy symptoms in baby. some allergies go away with time. peanut tree nut and shellfish allergies tend to persist while egg and milk allergies often go away as children get older.
