Plum allergy?? PIP need advice

MsZoeB

We have been very good about waiting 4 days between giving food. Yesterday we gave G plums, which he loved, but later in the morning a spot developed on his cheek and spread and got worse toward the end of the day (PIP was about its worst). There was a tiny new spot by his eye this morning but it never got worse. Can it be an allergic reaction to plums?
I didn't expect that plums could do this neither DH nor I eat them maybe that is even the case since he has never had them in utero or BM.

They do look like hives.. its hard to say if the plums are the cause but it could be.

I agree it does look like hives. Hope it clears up soon.

I have a friend who has a child that has several several allergies. Her child is allergic to plums. I would call your dr. right away and discuss your options!

It does look like hives.  You should call the pedi before giving more or anything else new really.  Because I think that plums are similar to other fruits that you would want to be careful with if it turns out he is allergic.  Not sure what else, but I remember reading it when dd was 6 months and I was getting ready to give foods.  I think peaches and a couple more are related.
