How to tell if it is an allergic reaction?

So I have started introducing solids to my daughter and I am doing the recommended one new item at a time and wait a couple days to check for allergies.  However, it occurs to me that I have no idea what a reaction would look like.  My daughter also has eczema so when she is in a rest period from her cream, she tends to break out so that might skew things.  What does an allergic reaction actually look like?

Re: How to tell if it is an allergic reaction?

  • My dd has eczema too. But allergic reactions ( in my experience) don't look like her eczema.

    Both my kids have sensitive skin and when they have reactions to lotion etc they get hives that are very noticeable on the back and tummy.

    I think sometimes reactions can also result in a blotchy appearance on their face/body. I really haven't dealt with a true food allergy, but that's my experience with allergic reactions.
