    Yes, it's possibly a reaction to the rice. There are other things in the cereal, also, so she may need to investigate further. Medical advice is probably warranted.

    Just an update. Spoke to my GF today after she had been to the docs. Looks like it was a reaction to the Karicare formula that she used to make up the baby rice. DD is fully breastfed. I had just assumed that she had used either water or BM when making up the rice.

    Thanks for all for their advice. She will keep close eye on other reactions though as little mite may be a touch sensitive.

    Ah! Was there any particular reason she was using formula instead of breast milk? Sounds like it might be a dairy allergy, perhaps?

    Don't know it as by text today as I was working. Will see her Friday as its my day off and ask her then. May just have been easier. Her DD won't take a bottle so she has given up expressing as it was just going to waste. Despite this it didn't even occur to me to ask what she had used as just assumed she had expressed it was breast milk.

    As an aside her DD has suffered from quite a few colds, pretty nasty ones, since she's been born so I had suggested that she raise the issue of allergies or intolerences with the doc to see if my GFs diet could flow through to her DD and cause the snottyness cough etc which might be caused by an allergy? Does that sound like something that could happen?

    Sounds like something to talk to the doctor about, yeah. Would proably be good to find out more before she starts introducing anything else. Hope her daughter is doing well now
