Feeling overwhelmed with baby’s allergies

Seeking Advice

I know she can grow out of them but it feels like every time I give her a new food she reacts to it. I know part of this is probably me just being anxious because of her reactions in the past but I’m just overwhelmed and tired.

She’s 9 months old and is confirmed allergic to eggs, peanuts, cashews and almonds but also still reacts to dairy even though she tested negative with the skin test.

I gave her coconut today and it was like she instantly got hives and a rash on her face. And it just makes me nervous to introduce the other allergens I’ve been putting off. I still need to introduce wheat and sesame.

We also still haven’t been able to get her epi-pen because of the pharmacy the dr said he had to have us get it through and it’s just added stress. We’re going to try a dairy/egg later once I talk to her pediatrician about it at her well visit and hopefully she’s able to tolerate both of them baked into things
