baby rice(blue pack)

weird...just on his cheeks.. :( he hasn't had reaction to any food yet besides that ..he's had pumpkin, potato,peas,beans, kumera,carrot, apple,pear, and several other things i cant think of right now and he;s been totally fine.. any ideas as to why this happened..cant be allergic to rice can he?

I had a similar situation with Hannah when she was very young. I introduced that ^^ Baby Rice to her when she was about 4 1/2 mos or maybe a little older, and she came out with the rawest ever nappy rash. It was the only change in her diet and she wasn't teething (her teeth started at 8mos). Anyway I have no idea what she could have reacted to but I didn't reintroduce it until she was about 2yrs old. We had no problems with any other food, then or since.

I used the blue packet..i have that one(the yellow) but decided to use the blue....i mixed it with cooled boiled water and apples(he has apples all the time...

that's good busy mum..so she's not permanently allergic to it? I just dont get what the problem with it could be...that's great to hear you didnt have other issues..hope we don't either..

soph- he's n neocate but it was just water and apple I mixed it with..

theres only ground rice vegetable oil rosemary extract and iron in it:( *sigh*

i just worry with that as it was the first immediate reaction we had(except the first one with the formula) and isnt the second one often worse?) he hasnt had anything new....? he's on the 4th day of beans though i suppose..

It could be the beans then, as Spencer was on parsnips for a week before the reaction came up which was part of the reason why we weren't entirely sure what it was.
Take both out until the rash has gone and then reintroduce one at a time to see which it is.

I think the second one being worse is only with the same thing, so if you gave diary again, whereas this is an entirely new reaction.

havent tried baby rice again but hes had rice in a baby food jar and been fine..weird !

Just had a thought, you could try rice flakes, they arn't ground but they do mush down if you are wanting to bulk up some of his food

yep will take a pic when he goes to bed..it is like that except the whole packet is blue..will post in an hour or so. yeah I thought freak reaction to something else bu he hadnt had it..i heard they can react to rosemary which is in it? thanks Kerryn I have a packet with rice flakes in it..i may try them...

Ahhhh, that one. I have never been able to give it to Ella... I think it had milk products in it. You probably wanna re-check the ingredients on the pack.
As an aside - the 'Farex' ones for 4 - 6 mth olds (plain and pear & banana) have been brilliant... allergen-free. Woo-hoo!! So you could try him on one of those instead? Hope it goes well
