We gave Dd a veggie burger and found out it had walnut in it! Now I am scared she could be allergic. It's been a few hours and she is sleeping, am I over reacting?

Re: walnuts

  • I was given the go ahead to give my DD anything at her 1 year appointment. But me evidence shows that holding off giving certain foods might not be a good thing. The nut thing is scary. I think you are in the clear.

    I wouldn't worry too much unless nut allergies run in the family or she has proven allergic to other foods.  Just keep an eye on her.

  • At this point she is probably fine. When we gave X peanut butter his reaction was within 15 minutes. I think several hours in you are probably ok. My understanding is its pretty quick onset.

  • If there was a sensitivity or allergy that was severe, you'd know right away.  If a rash or upset stomach or something were to occur hours later, that wouldn't be severe enough for panic.  But really, there's no need to worry about allergies to this extent at this age unless you have a family history.  They're going to eat everything at this point so you just have to be mindful if you see a rash to take note of what they'd eaten that was new.
