When we first started weaning dd, she would get a rash on her face where it had come into contact with tomato. Since we were seeing the paed for her milk intolerance anyway, I asked him about it, and showed him a photo I'd taken of the rash. He said that she'd probably (hopefully) grow out of it, and to continue giving tomatoes, as avoiding them would be a complete PITA. We followed his advice, and she now appears to be ok with them (an occasional tiny red patch will appear, but soon goes again). Now, I have to say that dd's rash wasn't as bad as Babybear's sounds - she didn't get the nettle style bumpy bits with hers, and it didn't seem to bother her at all. Sadly Babybear's does sound rather more like a true longer term intolerance. With dd's milk intolerance, the paed recommended leaving her off milk until 18 months, then trying her with a teaspoon of yoghurt, and taking it from there. The dietician that my h/v spoke to on my behalf, however, said to wait until she was 9 months, offer her some, wait til 12 months if she still reacted, but then to offer it every 3 days!! I think that the point of me telling you this, is to demonstrate that however many people you ask, you will get as many different responses, so might as well do what YOU feel is right. I think I'd prob try and avoid them for a couple of weeks, and then give just in cooked form for a while, but not stressing if she has them uncooked once in a while when you're not the chef.
