My daughter is six months old, exclusively breastfed. I have been trying to introduce new foods, she has gotten hives from every item I have tried to introduce. So far I have given her the following: Enfamil formula, rice cereal, oat cereal, pears, peas, carrots and sweet potatoes. With all foods mentioned, she developed severe hives within a ten minute time frame, with the exception of sweet potatoes which I tried today and it took two hours for her to get hives. I have waited until her hives disappear, usually giving her BenadrylBenadryl Benadryl allergy Benadryl allergy & cold Benadryl allergy & sinus headache Benadryl allergy decongestant Benadryl allergy sinus headache Benadryl cold Benadryl df Benadryl dye free allergy Benadryl fastmelt Benadryl ultratab, and waited two days before giving her a new food (though not every time), but she consistently gets hives. They always coincide with her having eaten. I tried a glass bowl and metal spoon as opposed to plastic, she still got hives. We are not using new soap, we have always had a dog, and the timing is just too coincidental (at least I think so) for it to be anything else besides food.
