Pears?


It all started with a well check-up. We found out Millie had a double ear infection that was pretty advanced, so she was prescribed some antibiotics. Then she got two vaccinations. Then, a few days later, I gave her some pears. Shortly after I noticed a rash covering her entire upper body from head to waist, including her arms. After about 30 minutes it went away.

I was a bit confused because she had so many "new" things happen to her recently, it was difficult to isolate the rash to an obvious cause. Still, it happened shortly after giving her the pears, so I deemed her sensitive to pears at this point in her life. Pears? I've never heard of that.

Thing is, I gave her sweet potatoes at night (which she has had previously with no reaction) and she got the same darned rash all up her body. Which also disappeared after 30 minutes. And now the diarrhea has started. And a pretty rockin' diaper rash. *sigh* Wish me luck with this one. I hate the guessing games that go along with food sensitivities.

I'm sorry! It's at moments like those that you really wish they hadn't misplaced all of the baby handbooks when you left the hospital! That is so hard to figure out! Good luck!

Ok Jenny, what's your opinion on vaccinations? Hudson goes in 2 weeks for his 2 month check and vaccinations, however, there seems to be so many shots for one visit! Any thoughts?
