Looking for friendly pediatric clinic/allergist recs + baby feeding tips (FPIES soy allergy & bad mosquito reactions)

Hi everyone!

My family and I are super excited to be traveling to Shanghai, will be there for 2 weeks in November-December. We’ll be staying around the Pudong area, and our daughter will be 13 months old during the trip.

She is a happy, sweet little traveler, but she does have two specific allergy challenges that we want to be thoroughly prepared for:

1 FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome) to Soy: It’s a non-IgE allergy, which means cross-contamination or hidden soy products trigger severe, delayed vomiting rather than typical hives.

2 Moderate/Severe Mosquito Bite Allergy: she gets fevers, bad inflammation, and incredibly cranky whenever she gets a bite.

It’s our first time to China and soy is a big part of any East Asian meal so navigating meals is making us a little nervous! We would love to get your local insights and recommendations on:

Pediatric Clinics / Allergists: We’re looking for recommendations for clinics with English/multilingual staff where we could easily book a quick consultation or visit for emergency care if needed.

Navigating Baby Food & Restaurants: Any tips on ordering safely? Are there specific local dishes that are naturally 100% soy-free, or certain family-friendly restaurant chains/hotels known for handling severe food allergies well? We are planning to bring along a mini cooker and pack snacks for her already, but would also still love to try letting her nibble a little off our plates.

The Mosquito Situation in November: What is the weather usually like for bugs?

We want to make sure our little girl stays safe and comfortable so we can all enjoy this amazing city. Any advice, reassurance, or favorite clinic names you can share would mean the world to us. Thank you so much! 😊
