It's understandable to worry about fussiness after a new food introduction. In babies, signs of food allergy typically appear within two hours of eating and can include: skin rash or hives, swelling around lips or eyes, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or wheezy breathing. If a baby rejects a food but doesn't have an allergy, the fussiness usually comes from gas, a new taste, or feeling full. Fussiness alone isn't a typical sign of allergy. If there's difficulty breathing, a rash, or swelling, seek emergency care; if it's just fussiness, observe the next meal. If the symptoms are concerning or affect breathing, call 911 (or emergency services).
