I accidentally gave my daughter the wrong kind of cereal a few weeks ago?
Posted by: Alan in wheat allergies, tags: accidentally, Cereal, Daughter, gave, Kind, Weeks, WrongQuestion by Leah’s Mommy: I accidentally gave my daughter the wrong kind of cereal a few weeks ago?
Since she was only about 4.5 months old at the time, would the fact that I accidentally gave her multigrain cereal (containing wheat) hurt her? I didn’t realize I did it but I don’t think she even swallowed much of it, until I saw that the multigrain package was opened as opposed to the rice cereal. Now I’m freaked out. I might be being irrational but did I just give her a gluten allergy or could that give her celiac disease?

Answer by JustMe
She will be fine. Withholding wheat until the 1st birthday is only necessary for infants with a family history of celiac disease. Just start with the rice from now on.
