Hello, My Daughter recently had a reaction to baby foods this is 2nd time I have introduce her to sweet potatoes and now every time she potties her diaper area is all red in about 2 hours I think it was the potatoes however this was 2nd time i gave her this food and of course the first time it was fine.. no redness... I have given her carrots and her skin was red too.. does any one have suggestions... I just tried introducing her to solids
Try buttering her up really well . This happens with my son when we introduce new foods. It usually goes away within 2 weeks or so. The stomach overproduces acid with new foods which comes out in the poo and irritates their skin. Hives , swelling,itching ,vomiting, diarrhea are a sign of a food allergy though and you should remove those foods from her diet .
Good Luck,
J.
this happens to my 6 month old daughter. i put A & D ointment on her butt and the rash went away quickly. i stopped giving her that particular food and then reintroduced at a later time. it just takes a while for the body to get used to solid foods and later they will build up more of a tolerance to it. try butternut squash- it is pretty mild and easily digested. carrots are a bit more harsh.
Write this information down and move on to another food. Try the sweet potatoes again at a later date.
Have fun!

it could just be a little to acidic for her. try mixing a cereal into it. there were foods that did that to my daughter and now shes fine.
