Rice Cereal Allergy?

Last Saturday night, and again last night, Liam started throwing up about two hours after we fed him rice cereal from Gerber. He had gotten rice cereal for about 1.5-2 weeks in February, but I hadn't fed it to him for at least a week. Liam never had any reactions before. He threw up several times throughout the night, but by morning was fine. He never had a fever and had no diarrhea. The rice cereal has soy in it, which I guess is a common allergen. Has anyone else had anything like this happen with their babies?

Hmm... We haven't had any allergies like that. We have had a few food reactions with Elijah, but it was in the form of a rash on his stomach or around his mouth. Could it be coincidental? Maybe Liam has a flu but or something?

It has been many years ago but yes. That is how Matt responded to soy formula when he was an infant.

Cereal didn't sit well with Abby either. I thought maybe it was the iron? She spit up a ton and couldn't poop so I stopped giving it to her. She likes carrots :-) I should try oatmeal.
