Many parents report that their children's bodies are red, swollen, nausea, diarrhea, etc., which often make them anxious, and they don't know what causes them or what to do.
Babies are allergic because their immune system is not yet fully developed at the beginning of their exposure to complementary foods, so they are prone to allergic reactions to certain foods. Common food allergy symptoms include reactions, such as eczema, pimples, urticaria, etc., as well as gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. Some babies may also have respiratory symptoms, such as coughing and wheezing.
There are many reasons for baby food allergies, in addition to the common immature intestinal barrier function, genetic factors and food allergens, there are some other factors that may also cause baby allergies. First of all, the baby's immune system is in the development stage during the complementary food addition stage, and the reaction to foreign substances may be too sensitive, leading to the occurrence of allergic reactions. Second, some babies may have an imbalance in the gut microbiome, which gives certain bacteria or viruses a chance to cause allergic reactions. In addition, certain nutrients in complementary foods, such as proteins, carbohydrates, etc., may also cause allergic reactions in babies.
In order to avoid or reduce the occurrence of allergy symptoms, parents should pay attention to the following points when adding complementary foods to their babies: First, try to start adding complementary foods when the baby is 6 months old, which is recommended by the World Health Organization and other pediatric experts. Secondly, new foods are introduced one by one so that possible allergens can be observed and identified. Add only one new food at a time for a few days to see if your baby has an allergic reaction. In addition, parents should also pay attention to avoid giving their babies foods that may cause allergies, such as peanuts, honey, etc. At the same time, keep your baby's ** clean and dry, and avoid using harsh skin care products or detergents.
If your baby has symptoms of allergies, stop introducing foods that may cause allergies immediately and consult a doctor or allergy specialist. Your doctor may recommend an allergy test to determine which foods your baby is allergic to and give advice accordingly.
In short, parents should be extra careful when adding complementary foods to their babies, pay attention to their reactions, avoid introducing foods that may cause allergies, and seek help from professional doctors if necessary.
