follow up to my baby's cheeks turned red. she ate some fast food chinese, MSG?

Answer 1

Why would you feed your baby fast food? What kind of parent are you?

Why not dog food, it would be healthier?

Answer 2

If just her cheeks are pink it could be 5ths disease. Sorry I didn't read the first part of this question if this is a follow up. But, it starts with cold symptoms, maybe a low grade fever, then pink cheeks that look like they may be chapped due to cold weather or like she has been slapped. Sometimes this rash spreads to the shoulders back, neck, arms, and legs. It is usually harmless and most babies/children get it. It's one of those normal childhood illnesses but I would take her to the doctor anyway just to be sure.
And...please don't feed your baby fast food anymore. Childhood obesity is up by like 75% in the US. If you feed your child fast food once a week for a year it will give them 10+ extra, unnecessary pounds.

Answer 3

MSG is a type of salt, me and my husband use this in our stir fry and stuff like that. Msg cause's migrains, it raises your blood pressure. So Msg is not good for little babies to be eatting. Wait until he or she is older before feeding them that. Chineese food is full of Msg that is all they really use when they cook. It brings out the flavoring in the food. gives it that good taste.

Answer 4

ok, well that can be the msg or a number of odd ingredients they put in it. My oldest gets flushed, red and itchy after eating Wendy's sweet and sour sauce.

In the future, I would stick to fresh steamed veggies and plain veggie or white rice.

Answer 5

I wouldn't have given my baby any type of fast food, her system isn't ready for that...also, didn't you just post a question about your GRANDDAUGHTER'S cheeks turning red and she only ate mashed banana?

Answer 6

for one, its not good for their sensitive little bellies anyways, but the spices probably raised her blood temporarily
