Hi

Looking for some advice for friend with 5.5 month old. My GF decided yesterday to try her DD2 on some baby rice however the poor little thing broke out in hives all round her mouth and neck and eyes. Not sure if it was immediate or within a few hours. It sounds like an allergic reaction however would have thought baby rice was one of the lowest allergic reaction foods. What should she do give up and try again in months time or try something else. i wouln't have thought age should have had anything to do with the reaction but is it something she should get checked out before she embarks on the food journey. None of friends who are Mums have had had any allergy issues so we can't really give her much advice - other than obvious don't give her baby rice!

Any advice you can give me to give her would be great.

Cheers NW3
