Sorry if this has been done before, don't have much time to search before baby wakes up.
DD, 6 and half months - started baby-led weaning. All fine until I gave her a strip of cheese and mushroom omelette - she happily chomped on it but immediately came out in an angry red rash, started round the mouth and spread over cheeks, neck and torso. It settled down within a few hours and since then she's only had fruits and veg, introducing one food at a time, no reactions. I feel a bit defeated as I really wanted to give baby-led weaning a go this time. Also worried. I am going to contact my HV and/or GP but just wondered if anyone has experience of this, and what normally happens next in terms of weaning, allergy testing, etc? I'm guessing it was the egg, as she accidentally found her way into some pizza at a picnic the day before, and no reaction to the cheese she smeared on herself.
Thanks for any advice.
