Bad Egg

Scrambled eggs are typically one of the first real foods that babies are offered so I whipped up an egg for Harper to eat for lunch. She's had lunch meat and lots of carbs (pancakes and mac & cheese) so I thought it would be good to get something a little more nutritional in her stomach. My plan to get something good into her tummy backfired because it turns out that Harper is allergic to eggs.

Harper ate a little bit of the eggs and fruit but became fussy by the end of the meal. A few minutes later, we went for a diaper change and I discovered that her face was all red and she a small rash on her arms. After I finally got her calmed down, she took a nap in her swing and I thought that was the end of it. However, she must have eaten more egg than I realized because during her nap she got sick and her rash worsened.  The poor kiddo! She took a quick bath to get cleaned up, ate a bottle and then curled up on her dad for another nap.
