Reaction to Oatmeal

Started my LO on oatmeal this week and he now has a bad rash on both cheeks. I called the doctor and they said it was an allergic reaction to the oatmeal and to stop feeding it for two weeks but didn't seem to concerned. I think I'm gonna go back to EBF for another month and then try again. Anybody else LO have a reaction to their first food? Here's what his looks like..

    Awww poor pumpkin! I hope he gets better soon! Maybe when you try again, you could try barley cereal instead?

    @ebilbao I'll look into it, thanks! So does it make sense to retry the oatmeal or just avoid it all together? I don't know anything about this solids stuff :-<

    Maybe ask the doc. I would probably try barley first, then retry oatmeal.

    We just tried cereal for the first time last week, our doc told us to start with rice cereal. I bought the Gerber Organic Brown Rice Cereal, DS liked it (although most of it landed on his face!). Just mixed a teaspoon with a bit of formula to make it really really mushy. I tasted it and it didn't taste bad at all! Of course, check with your doc to see if rice is the way to go and for how much.

    who says it has to be dry cereal?  :) and rice cereal has been found to have high levels or arsenic, so try to go organic if you can

    My pediatrician told me I can try my DD on rice cereal next week. But I could also try oatmeal first if I really want to but that she may have an allergic reaction to it initially if I don't at least try a rice cereal for 1-2 weeks.

    @weer456 I wish my pedi would have warned me!
