What are some common food allergies to be aware of in babies?

Food allergies are common in babies, and it's important for parents to be aware of them. The most common food allergies in babies are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, and fish. These foods account for over 90% of all food allergies. Babies can develop an allergy to any food, but these are the most likely to cause a reaction.

The symptoms of a food allergy can range from mild to severe, and they can include hives, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty breathing. In some cases, a food allergy can be life-threatening and require emergency medical attention.

If you suspect that your baby has a food allergy, it's important to talk to your pediatrician. They can recommend testing and help you develop a plan to manage your baby's allergies.
