Our allergist said an actual allergy to strawberries is rare.</p> <p>Strawberries contain a histamine-like chemical that can cause a rash or hives, but isn't necessarily indicative of an actual allergy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211740 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:51:18 +0000 anonysquire 2211740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She reacted to them, but we didn't officially test and have avoided them since. So I don't know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211739 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:51:03 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2211739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend growing up was allergic to all berries.

We didn't give them for about a year but now at 2 yrs she seems fine to eat them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211659 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:50:10 +0000 cat620 2211659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone who is allergic to them. I gave strawberries to my LO probably when he was close to a year old. He loves them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211656 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:48:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 2211656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is allergic. :( so sensitive I can't even eat them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211654 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:46:48 +0000 ShootingStar 2211654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was little I was allergic to them - they'd give me a rash. But I kep eating them anyways because I loved them and I outgrew it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211653 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:46:43 +0000 getjazzy 2211653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was as a kid so I thought maybe LO would be, thankfully he's not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211650 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:43:39 +0000 hellobeeboston 2211650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211600 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:56:07 +0000 Mae 2211600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is not allergic and I don't know anyone who is. That being said, I really like strawberries but I do wonder if I have a very slight sensitivity. If I eat a LOT of them, I get really flushed/hot feeling and my skin on my face is prickly. But as long as I don't eat too many its fine. </p> <p>I don't remember exactly when we gave them to LO. I want to say like, maybe 8 or 9 mo? I know I did give her just a little bit at first because I knew it was a common allergen but she has no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211540 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:23:18 +0000 msplatypus 2211540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mother in law is allergic and my husband used to get hives every once in a while when he ate them, in particular the seeds are the culprit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211535 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:08:51 +0000 Ms.Badger 2211535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a reaction, hives, to strawberries when I was young and outgrew it. Lucas reacted to my breast milk with hives after I had consumed strawberries, he never had the berries themselves so I don't know if he would have had a stronger reaction </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211525 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:57:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 2211525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evan had a mild reaction to them (small rash around his mouth and chin) the first 2-3 times he ate them, but never serious and he outgrew it and devours them now with no issue. I think the first few times were 10-12 months? He also had the same reaction to eggplant... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211417 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:27:29 +0000 T-Mom 2211417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD had a boy in her class who is allergic. we weren't notified about it though, so I guess he hasn't had serious reactions. I can't remember the first time we offered... Maybe around 1 year or later? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211406 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:20:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2211406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know of one person- a friend's MIL. </p> <p>I gave them to C around 8 months. Unfortunately that happened to also be when she got her first stomach bug so I was afraid it was a reaction to the berries, but once I, then DH, came down with it, it was clear it had nothing to do with the strawberries. Still took me a few weeks to give them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211404 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:18:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2211404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend and her DD are both allergic - not life threatening but itchy mouth and hives if she eats them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211378 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:06:39 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2211378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never known anyone who is allergic to strawberries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211362 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 14:56:57 +0000 raspberries 2211362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is allergic to them. But she's the only person I've ever known in real life who has the allergy, and she's never had a super severe reaction (just itchiness and sometimes hives, if she's eaten a larger quantity unknowingly - she accidentally had a smoothie with strawberries in it on vacation once, even though they weren't listed as an ingredient!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-allergic-to-strawberries#post-2211338 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 14:43:02 +0000 regberadaisy 2211338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're considered a high allergen food but it seems like I don't hear a lot about people being allergic. Is your LO or anyone you know allergic to strawberries?</p> <p>When did you offer for the first time? I've got some fresh picked strawberries I really want to give DD2 but we just tried eggs the other day so I want to space it more. </p>
