How to use an Epi Pen for someone suffering an allergic reaction
My baby girl is only seven months old, but she has been sick every day of her life. Turns out? She has severe food allergies. Photo courtesy: https://www.epipen.com/en It took me months to get a diagnosis. It started with her struggling to nurse. I kept insisting that she refused to even try, but everyone kept telling me baby's don't refuse their mother's milk and we just had to keep trying. Then, just a few days after bringing her home from the hospital, her little body became covered in rashes and she had the worst cradle cap I'd ever seen. I asked the Pediatrician, whose opinion I trust and value, and she said it was "baby acne" and she would outgrow it very soon. My baby was irrationally colicky, but again, I was told that's what babies do and she'd outgrow it. Weeks later, when the rashes still hadn't cleared, the Ped called it "baby eczema" and said she would outgrow it soon. The cradle cap? The colic? She'd outgrow tho
