allergy-aware tracking
Record what was offered, when it happened, what symptoms you noticed, and what you discussed with your pediatrician.
The useful version
A baby allergy tracker should record exposure and symptoms. It should not declare that your baby is allergic. That line matters, because allergy diagnosis belongs with clinicians.
Use the tracker to capture the food, amount, texture, time eaten, symptoms, severity concern, and whether you contacted a pediatrician or allergist.
Official food allergy resources list possible symptoms such as hives, rash, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, wheezing, throat symptoms, trouble breathing, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. Babies can also show less obvious distress.
If symptoms seem urgent, handle the emergency first. The log can wait. The baby cannot.
BabyFoodTracker can help you organize a possible reaction history. It cannot diagnose allergies, decide whether epinephrine is needed, or replace a pediatrician or allergist.
