Infant allergies are scary. If your infant is showing symptoms of allergies then you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Do not, under any circumstances, brush this kind of incident off.

Infant allergies are obviously caused by a reaction to some substance in food or the air. By the way, an infant should not be eating ANYTHING except breast milk, and definitely not anything with sugar in it.

One thing to be careful of with infant allergies is breastfeeding. Whatever the mother eats will be passed on to the baby through the mother’s milk. This is why a mother who is nursing a baby needs to also not smoke, drink alcohol or coffee and work hard to eat a healthy diet. But in addition, if the infant has developed food allergies, which they shouldn’t, the mother can’t eat those foods while nursing.

Likewise, the infant should be eating foods they are allergic to. So, paying attention to the diet of both the mother and the baby will go a long way in fighting infant allergies.

I know this is hard which is why a lot of children are sick and obese. Children under 5 who get sugar in their diet on a regular basis, including sugar from fruit juices, I think are likely to get allergies. If you are dealing with infant allergies then don’t give your infant sugar anymore, period.

Another scary symptom of infant allergies is wheezing. By best friend’s baby was born prematurely and had trouble breathing. It is not fun to look at. Again, if your infant is wheezing, tell your doctor immediately. But more importantly, make sure your child is only drinking breast milk and nothing else.

Remember, if you are dealing with infant allergies, be sure your infant gets:
