Re: allergies and babies
Well food allergies they can test sooner (like milk protein, etc.). I was told they can't diagnose asthma etc. til over a year or so.

Re: allergies and babies
I think for food allergies at least 6 mths +....we knew already but waited until her 1 yr appt for all the testing.
Asthma isn't usually diagnosed until 2 yrs or so.

My ped told us a lot of people think babies are congested, but they naturally sound that way since their nasal passages are so small. He told me that since I won't be around to see Andy when he's a senior citizen, now I know what he'll look like when he's bald, no teeth, and snorting all the time.

Re: allergies and babies
My son was tested at 10 months because he had severe congested and they thought he had a milk allergy. It's a simple blood test. He's not 11 months and has to go back because I think he's allergic to something that they didn't test for.

Re: allergies and babies
I'm not sure about what age but my pediatric allergist (I go to one in Glen Cove) saw Mikey at 6 months. He broke out in a WAY funky rash/hives and was tested for a whole bunch of allergies.
