Rash after several foods

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

So started solids and it seems that lo (5 months) gets a rash/eczema under his chin and on neck after he eats.... its happened with every food. I have tried being careful with food while feeding to not touch area and have put vaseline on first to create a barrier. Anyone else have any experience with this? or suggestions?

    What foods have you tried? You should give them at least 3 days before introducing a new food to see what foods cause a reaction.

    If you notice a reaction from a particular food, don't give it to your baby anymore.

    If its a food allergy if would present all over his body usually with hives and welts followed by itching. The eczema rash may be a topical allergy like from a cream or what you're washing his face with.

    Ditto what everyone said about the allergies, and also about the food getting under the chin.  DD has a lot of drool (she is teething) so after solids (and sometimes just when she needs it), I wipe her down with a wipe and put some baby powder under her chin, to kind of soak things up.  It has cut down on the irritation a lot!
