I made a pumpkin soup the other night that has chipotle powder and some black pepper. It doesn't taste too spicy so I let LO have some yesterday afternoon. All around his mouth got a little red, but he didn't have any other symptoms and seemed to really like the soup.
Does this sound like an allergy symptom or just irritation from having it all over his face?

Hmmm, I'm no doctor but I'd think irritation if everywhere else was fine.

I think some squashes can give this reaction if they are not fully ripe. I think that would be considered irritation. But the lo I nanny has this reaction to eggs and peanut butter and the doctor said it was an allergy. So I would use caution when introducing squash again.

It could be a contact allergy, which LO has gotten from cinnamon (also a spice I guess). The doctor said that it's totally fine to keep feeding it to him--I would just maybe tone down on the amount of spices and try to wipe it off his face quickly since baby skin is so sensitive!

@hilsy85: It did have cinnamon, too - I didn't even think about that.
