It was a frozen breastmilk bag from September and I didn't think to smell it first. :( she spit it up everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249338 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 16:46:09 +0000 cmomma17 1249338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO had strawberry (and blueberry, blackberry and raspberry actually) by 6.5 months.<br /> Our doctor advised the only foods to wait until 12 months are peanut butter, citrus, and honey </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249303 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 15:41:19 +0000 meganmp 1249303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my ped about this stuff, and she said that she recommends trying most foods (except honey) whenever the parents feel like introducing it. Watch for a reaction, and if she doesn't have one, she's fine. If she does, she may have had it at the one year mark anyway, so it's better to have it now when you're paying close attention than when you're not! :):):) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249267 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1249267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: "am about to start solids with my lo and I feel somewhat overwhelmed. I go back and forth between "should I obsessively research" or should I use my intuition."...yes! I am in the same boat.</p> <p>I'm glad the strawberry doesn't seem to be an issue, because, lets be honest, strawberries are pretty awesome ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249238 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:00:19 +0000 Greentea 1249238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is an interesting thread. I am about to start solids with my lo and I feel somewhat overwhelmed. I go back and forth between "should I obsessively research" or should I use my intuition. There is so much info out there!<br /> I fed a baby a strawberry :) I was a child and there was a miscommunication. The mom freaked on me but the baby loved it and thankfully was just fine. More than fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249230 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:42:57 +0000 looch 1249230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son actually had a mild reaction to raw strawberry, so it's only because of that that I am aware, otherwise, I wouldn't have known. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249120 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:36:23 +0000 78h2o 1249120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ped said fresh strawberries (or the kid in pouches) were fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249056 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 10:52:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1249056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I love the serious face while splashing, it's so cute. C gets super serious watching her legs kicking, then turns to me and gives me a HUGE smile, then gets serious and back to splashing. But she's still in the reclined part of the tub. She loves to stand (with help, obviously) and wants to be held up to you shoulder, not cradled unless I'm feeding her. But not so into sitting. I guess I prefer reclining too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249052 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 10:51:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 1249052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my doctor said strawberries in baby food, pouches, etc are fine because they're processed - but fresh are what you want to avoid. that said, if she hasn't reacted I'm sure she's fine. I was told a strawberry reaction would likely start with a rash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249047 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 10:50:05 +0000 heartonastring 1249047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, not to worry! Was coming here to post the same thing that @Cole: posted.</p> <p>We feed my DD everything under the sun, including strawberries, and we've never had any issues, and our doctor is totally on board (he cited the same research about introducing sooner rather than later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1249046 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 10:49:43 +0000 pinkcupcake 1249046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: another voice chiming in to say don't worry! :) our ped never told us to avoid strawberries and I'm pretty sure I gave LO puréed strawberries before she turned a year old! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248983 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:58:34 +0000 sslm 1248983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: @Dandelion: Agree on the honey! That's what they told me too. Not because of allergies, but because of the risk of botulism. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248975 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:54:39 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1248975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's an interesting article: <a href="http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/eat-run/2013/03/19/how-and-why-to-introduce-allergens-to-your-infant" rel="nofollow">http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/eat-run/2013/03/19/how-and-why-to-introduce-allergens-to-your-infant</a> When we introduced solids at about 6 months we tried eggs and strawberries pretty early on with no issue. This seemed fairly reliable and indicated that a severe reaction would most likely manifest more immediately. I think you are in the clear: <a href="http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/food_allergies.html" rel="nofollow">http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/food_allergies.html</a> and assuming she doesn't have any rash or anything less serious, you now know she likes and isn't allergic to strawberries. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248958 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:24:02 +0000 Cherrybee 1248958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: E REFUSES to be cradled at all now - not for cuddles, feeding, anything! - and will not take her bottle unless she is sat up facing you. Even then she gets frustrated and refuses the bottle after about 100ml (unless it's the middle of the night, then she will lie in your arms and smash 200ml without opening her eyes!!). She likes her Bumbo but she LOVES standing in her jumperoo. She really doesn't want to be a baby!!!</p> <p>Edit: I just remember, hahahaha, she told her daddy off last night! She has learned to splash in the bath and she likes to sit up and splash. Well DH tried to lie her down and wash her and she wailed until he sat her up again. Then she scowled at him and started splashing again, with this super serious face! It's serious business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248949 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:09:59 +0000 mrs. wagon 1248949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this all the time. I didn't even realize strawberry was such a common allergen. Sounds like she's fine which is great! The only really dangerous thing is honey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248941 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:05:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1248941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They change their minds on introducing those allergens all the time, because they just don't know! Sounds like E is fine and loves strawberries! </p> <p>C is def not ready for solids yet. They say the sitting up thing is important- I tried putting her in a bumpo and she wanted nothing to do with it. But she loves her milk so no rush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248931 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:56:23 +0000 Bookish 1248931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw don't worry. Just keep an eye on her, but I'm sure she's just fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248930 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:56:15 +0000 silver1 1248930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Glad to hear shez fine :-) I didn't know it was allergen. I thought it was raspberries. We have been giving J strawberries in his feeder since 7 mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248905 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:37:11 +0000 Cherrybee 1248905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Me neither (obviously)!! What did people do before the internet?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248903 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:36:37 +0000 Cherrybee 1248903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so grateful for you all being here to reassure me, thank you. </p> <p>I've just put her down for her nap and I've never wanted one of those breathing pad monitor thingys so much!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248901 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:35:48 +0000 Smurfette 1248901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Really? I never knew that.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248891 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:31:09 +0000 Cole 1248891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they just released some research (literally within months) that they are now thinking it is better to introduce allergenic foods early as opposed to later. I would imagine she will be just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248887 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:29:12 +0000 Bao 1248887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A had all the foods she shouldn't before 1 year :) I'm sure she will be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248877 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:25:23 +0000 Dandelion 1248877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She sounds fine! I have heard what @sslm: said...you don't have to wait for much anymore, unless there's a family history for it.</p> <p>But you should wait at least a year for honey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248876 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:25:20 +0000 Charm54 1248876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: my public health nurse said the same thing...unless there is a family history, the only thing "off limits" before 12mo is honey </p> <p>I wouldn't worry too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248875 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:25:16 +0000 Cherrybee 1248875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: They do strawberry purees in pouches suitable from 4 months, which is why I didn't think to check. But I read that that's because they cook them and destroy the allergens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248872 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:23:15 +0000 sslm 1248872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry! I was told by the public health dietician that unless there is a family history of an allergy, it's fine to introduce things before 12 months. I think that info is kind of outdated... not that I am an expert! Just my personal feelings :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248870 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:23:02 +0000 Smurfette 1248870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she hasn't had a reaction then I wouldn't worry about it. R has had strawberry in a puree at like 6.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248869 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:21:25 +0000 avivoca 1248869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure she is just fine, but agree that you should keep an eye on her just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap-i-fed-my-baby-something-i-shouldnt-have#post-1248867 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:20:47 +0000 swedishfish 1248867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: maybe she really liked the strawberry! :wink: </p>
