Seeing bumpy, itchy rashes on your baby's body after a new food can be worrying. First, stop giving that food immediately and don't offer it again. If the rash comes with difficulty breathing, swelling of lips/face, or bluish skin or changes in consciousness, call 112 right away. If it's only a rash and your baby seems otherwise well, monitor closely — most mild allergic reactions resolve on their own within a few hours. Still, you should report this finding to your pediatrician as soon as possible and tell them which food caused it; your doctor can arrange an allergy test if needed. Keep your baby's skin cool and dry until the rash fades, and try to prevent scratching.
