I am certainly in line with Jan Barger on this one - I work in a peds office
and we do not send kids out to allergists (pediatric ones) usually until 3 or
4 yrs of age. I have NEVER heard of skin testing in a baby. I question
validity as well.
My guess is that mom may be overproducing - I often see upper resp sxs in
babies getting too much milk or refluxing - saline nose drops, upright after
feeds and elevate head of bed for baby might help those sxs....
