I Introduced Peanuts To My 7 Month Old Exactly 2

Posted on Sun, 22 Dec 2019

Question: I introduced peanuts to my 7 month old exactly 2 weeks ago, and he had no adverse reaction whatsoever. I've been rotating it in his diet, 6g/week over 3 feedings, per the official NIAID guidelines. The past 2 times I've given it to him, he's vomited. Both times he projectile vomitted twice, a few minutes apart, about an hour after eating it. Otherwise, he hasn't vomited at all during the solids introduction process. Is this something to be alarmed about, considering he tolerated PB well for 2 weeks? Could it be a coincidence? Should I discontinue? See a doctor/allergist? He's developed an acne-like rash on his face since the first bout of vomiting a few days ago, but his first tooth is also poking through at the moment, so I thought it could be related to that...

Could be related

Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I would insist you to visit an allergist as the rashes, peanuts and vomiting could have a connection. Refrain from further use till the doctor gives you a clean chit.

Regards
