Allergy symptoms in babies generally manifest in three areas:
On skin: Redness, dryness, flaking, or crusting on cheeks, inside elbows, and inside knees. These eczema-like rashes can be itchy.
In digestion: Excessive gas after feeding, fussiness, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes with mucus or blood), or stubborn constipation.
In respiration: Runny nose, sneezing, tearing eyes, or wheezy breathing.
The most common allergens are cow's milk protein and eggs. Allergic reactions can appear minutes or hours after contact with the allergen.
To diagnose allergies in babies, you need to see a pediatric allergist. Avoid trial-and-error at home; if you suspect allergies, keep a daily log noting symptoms and show it to your doctor.
