Food Allergy

We are doing BLW with Chase, so we haven't introduced many foods in a careful manner, but today I was giving him peanut butter for the first time and I decided to be cautious.  I was paying very close attention to him and his reactions and he broke out in hives every where the peanut butter touched, including his eyes, since he rubbed them while I was getting a wash cloth to clean up his hands.  Poor little guy was itchy and miserable.  We called the pediatrician, who told us to give him some benedryl and bring him in.  

Luckily his reaction was pretty mild overall, if a bit nerve-wracking for Mommy and Daddy.  He's doing great now, napping because of the Benedryl.  We did pick up a prescriptions for an epi-pen, just in case.  At least we know.
