Parker has always loved to eat. He was one of those babies who eat every 2-3 hours even at night. Since we introduced baby food he has backed off to every 4 hours. Crazy... and he isn't even huge. He is 6 months and weighs 18lbs which is quite small for my kids. Anyway, wednesday I decided to try something a little more exciting than just cereal, veggies and fruits. After giving him some mixed veggies I gave him the baby version of dessert. It was a vanilla custard pudding with bananas. He eat some but didn't seem too interested so I put the rest in the fridge. Ten minutes later he was acting funny so I looked at him and his mouth was all swollen and he was acting like he couldn't breath. He kept choking and gagging. It was horrible. The look in his eyes was almost terror.
Mind you I was home alone without a car....
Not knowing whether to call 911 or not I was FREAKING out!!! So I called my mom, the RN, who basically knows how to handle any situation! She told me to give him benadryl. I fought the benadryl down and he got better after about 20 min. All in all it was about 45 mins of sheer terror for me!
So apparently Parker is allergic to something, not sure what though. I think it is the eggs but I am not possitive! SCARY!

That is so scary! You need to keep a journal/log of every food you give him and if he has any reactions to it. And always keep a good supply of benedryl on hand... you never know when you will need it! Good luck!
So scary! I am glad everything was ok.
So scary!!! Absolutely terrifying when your baby/child is suffering and you don't have the skills to fix it fast. So glad he got better quick. Can the dr. test him for allergies yet?
Oh, no! I'm sorry, have you taken him in to get tested? Keep me updated!
