I have a lot of food allergies and eczema and unfortunately, I think I passed that trait on to my LO 'cause she's allergic to dairy, eggs, soy, and chocolate. And while she's not allergic to citrus or anything tart, those items cause her eczema to flare up.

These allergies are not uncommon in babies but they usually go away by their 1st birthday. LO is 11 months now and I'm crossing my fingers that they do go away eventually 'cause I hate to think that she'll always have to be so careful with food.

On a similar topic, my food allergies didn't manifest 'til my teen years. I asked my Dr. and he said that this isn't unusual and that changing hormones might be to blame. Oddly enough, some of things that I was previously allergic to (mangoes, melons), I no longer have allergic reactions to (I'm only mildly allergic to mangoes and melons and tasted some before feeding it to my LO). Changing hormones again?

Does you or your LO have allergies? and did they go away at some point?
