Parenting Adventures: What is Wrong with Our Sweet Baby?! #FPIES #FoodAllergies #MomLife

*This series focuses on our adventures in parenting and all the ups and downs along the way*

It was a typical bedtime in our home and I was carefully rocking and nursing Savy Baby (6.5 months old).  I then tried to put her into her crib for the night.  In an instant, she rolled towards me and started violently vomiting (exorcist like) through the crib rails and all over her room. Over the course of the next hour she would vomit or gag on and off.  I called our pediatrician and they said likely a stomach flu. They told me the warning signs for dehydration and what to do.  Eventually she drifted off to sleep and I was able to nurse her without issue 3 hours later. No fever, no other symptoms.  The only thing we could think is the avocado she had for dinner didn't sit well or it was in fact a stomach virus.

We decided to not give her another avocado and cut out solid foods for a few days to help her body "reset" from the incident. Day 3 after the incident, we gave her squash with no issues.  Then 10 days after the incident, we gave her sweet potatoes (which she has had before) and oatmeal baby cereal (a new food) for dinner.  Three hours later, at bedtime, cue the exorcist! This time it was slightly more violent and I was starting to worry about her little body seemingly passing out between sessions.  It again lasted only an hour and she went out.  Again, I nursed her 3 hours later with no problem.

When I called the pediatrician, he thought "maybe a food allergy, maybe not". He said to stay away from avocados, sweet potatoes and oatmeal for now.  If it happens again, he will send us to an allergist for testing.

I have a blogger friend over at Courtney's Sweets who I immediately thought of when the second incident occurred.  I thought of her because her sweet daughter has been diagnosed with a condition called FPIES ( Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome).
