Whenever I feed my 4 month old baby banana or apple baby food, she gets a facial rash, and today I saw she had little tiny red bumps all over her torso after eating apple baby food. Is it b/c of the potassium? If I feed her 1/2 the jar, she's fine but if I feed her the whole jar, she gets a rash. There are no other symptoms, and she doesn't seem to be sick. She does fine with pear baby food & vegetable baby food. I know to ask my baby's doctor, and I am going to the next time I see him. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience and what caused it? Thanks.

even if it's not a full-blown allergy, it's at least an intolerance. stop giving those foods for a few months, then try again.
my son was the same way when i first gave him apple, now he's fine with it.

When the dragon is older it should be about 80% veggies/fruits 20% crickets. Do NOT feed him broccoli, spinach, or Iceburg lettuce. How many crickets are you giving him daily/weekly? If you lower the amount of crickets you feed him he will be hungry and eat his veggies (usually) My beardie is a VERY picky eater, you just have to try everything and find the things he likes. My guy loves peas, kale, & bokchoy. Also try to give him fruits on top of his veggies and then he may accidentally pick up some veggies, finding that after he's tasted it he likes it. Another thing I did to get my guy to eat his veggies was to throw a pea (making him think it was a cricket) and he would chase it and eat it, now he's totally addicted lol My beardie will not eat his veggies/fruits if they aren't finely chopped. Maybe you aren't chopping them small enough? Or maybe he wants bigger pieces? You may not have the right kind of UVB bulb, whcih may be making him reluctant to eat his veggies/fruits. You can try cooking the veggies (boil it in water) and he might like it better then. You can also give him pinky mice as a snack (once he is an adult) I have chosen not to, but it's a choice you have. You really have to work with him and be patient, eventually you'll find something he likes and the way he likes it served/chopped.

Candace gave a great answer. It could very well be a preservative used in the jar food. Try feeding her a fresh ripe banana (mash it with some breastmilk or formula until it gets to the consistency of baby food) or make your own "applesauce" (the apples have to be peeled, cooked until soft, then mashed) and feed it to her and see if she has a reaction.
It could also be a sensitivity - 4 months is a little young for fruit, and her system might just not be ready for it.

Baby Breaking Out In Rash

She could be allergic to it and have baby eczema. (See the link below.) Eating half a jar may not trigger the reaction, but a whole jar does. If my husband eats a little turkey, he only has a slight tingling on his tongue, but if he eats a lot of it, he breaks out in a rash and his throat starts to get tight. I would not feed your baby any of the bananas or apples until you talk to your doctor.

Sounds like a food allergy. Stop feeding her the things that cause a rash and inform the doctor immediately so you can find out if she's severely allergic to anything.
I have a friend that has a 4 year and is severely allergic to cashews. She once put a cashew in her mouth and IMMEDIATELY began breaking out. Her doctor told her that if she would have swallowed that cashew her throat might have closed up.
It sounds as if your baby has a minor food allergy, but it's better safe then sorry to stop feeding her those things until you ok it with the doctor.

Sounds like an allergy. Also, I am surprised that you are feeding solids at such a young age. It is usually recommended that babies should not start eating solids until they are 6 mos old. Babies do not need anything but breastmilk or formula until they are at least 6 mos old and a whole jar seems like a lot of solids even for a 6 mos old, let alone a 4mos old.

Sounds like a case of hives.
All fruits contain "Ascorbic Acid" and fiber. My daughter had that, too. It turns out, as a baby girl, her Ph is naturally higher and some fruits just didn't work for her. She eats all kinds of fruit now, so I'm thinking it was the preservative in the baby food and not the fruit itself.
