LO had yogurt this morning for the second time. He developed a red, blotchy rash above his lip that lasted all day. Could this be a milk allergy? He drinks formula and has had cheese without any problem.
*The first time he tried it was several months ago and he ended up with a minor diaper rash. I just attributed it to the fact that we had just started solids.

@rahlyrah: was there anything else in the yogurt? That's so puzzling that the yogurt would cause a rash but not formula or cheese.
I hope your lo feels better soon!

@Applesandbananas: I think it was raspberry, spinach, and Greek yogurt. He's never had any reactions to raspberries or spinach. Luckily, the rash didn't seem to bother him at all.

@rahlyrah: a rash around the mouth sounds much more like a raspberry allergy to me than a dairy allergy. I would hold off on berries for a while.

@MamaMoose: Interesting. I think he's had raspberries before, but maybe I'm mistaken. He's definitely had strawberry with no reaction.

@rahlyrah: I've never really looked at the ingredients of Greek yogurt, is there maybe something slightly different from regular yogurt/dairy?

@rahlyrah: raspberries are pretty high on the allergy list so I would assume that's it unless your LO continues to have issues with other dairy products.
ETA: I've heard heard that sometimes allergies don't show up until the second or third exposure.

@MamaMoose: Good to know! Thank you! That makes more sense considering that he hasn't had any other reactions to dairy.

I'd also vote raspberries! My 22 month old just started reacting to strawberries a month or so ago (she are a ton of them on vacation) after having eaten them in smaller quantities for some time with no issue. It took me a few exposures to figure out what was doing it.

I get a similar reaction myself to blackberries and sometimes raspberries!
