What Causes Red Dot On Hands/legs Of Baby After Starting Wheat Cerelac?
Hi..I started wheat cerelac for my 4 months old daughter two days back. And yesterday she had developed red dot like rashes on her hands and legs. Is dat an allergy.? I have stopped using her cerelac and on breastfeed now. Wat can I do now for the rashes ? And is she allergic to wheat?

Hi...according to the WHO (World Health Organization) the best way to feed any baby till 6 months of age is 100% exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age. The gut will be too tender before that in some babies and will not tolerate cereal proteins like wheat and rice.
The rash you have mentioned could as well be an allergic one to wheat.
Stop all cereal proteins will 6 months of age and feed her only breast milk till then.
