My 7 mo is on stage 2 foods, and last night fed him a jar of Earth's Best veggie dinner of some kind, veggies and rice all mushed up. tonight he has a flat, pin-pointy rash on his stomach. I just looked and the dinner had corn in it, a no-no for dbs this young! Have I brought on a corn allergy? I'm really stressed about this!

I'm just worried that giving him corn too early might have caused him to have a corn allergy when he's older (given this reaction). Does it work that way?

Yeah, they do. It's one of the reasons they say not to introduce it too early...

this is what i found on the web: Since the allergy is actually a reaction to the protein found in corn, your body will react as though it is under attack by a toxic intruder. You may experience swelling, itching, labored breathing, rashes and dizziness.

Agree with the previous posters: not a big deal. And may I make a plug for making your own baby food from now on - just microwave and puree mixed veggies and you're set to go!

Oh god don't worry about the corn - watch the rash, watch for a fever, if the rash is still there in the morning call your ped, chances are it will be gone.

Yes, there is such a thing as a corn allergy. Please check your info. It is not very common, but definitely exists. Lots of baby foods have things that under 1's shouldn't eat ... berries, egg. Don't worry about that rash too much but read your labels.
