DD is 6 months and just starting to taste some solids. Yesterday afternoon I offered her some mashed avocado after nursing her. It is the first food she has absolutely tried to push out of her mouth. I offered her about 7 bites, each time she hated it, but I've also read that it takes a lot of tried to introduce baby to new foods and flavors. She has had sweet potato, peas, squash, and a little banana with no problems over the last 10 days.
Two hours after the avocado, I nursed her to sleep. She woke up 15 minutes later, throwing up. . .and kept throwing up for an hour! By the time we got her to the emergency room she was throwing up bile. DD never, ever, I mean never, ever throws up, not ever. Hasn't even had a temperature yet, so needless to say, we were freaked out, and her pedi said take her to children's emergency room asap.
They ran xrays on her belly to run out anything major. She stopped throwing up once everything was out of her belly, and returned to happy baby. So what gives? I did some research on line, and it isn't completely out of ordinary that this could be an allergic reaction to avocado! Any one else have this issue?
Also, and this didn't scare me, but pissed me off like no other. The nurse who checked us in decided to take this time to lecture us on DD's weight. She's in the 99 percentile for weight (as she is for height too), but she didn't mention her height at all. She wanted us to understand childhood obsesity! She's freaking 6 months old! She's not crawling! She's EBF except for these few tastes of foods, and this lady is going to lecture me on my daughter's weight?! As she's throwing up bile?! I'm going to send a letter to the hospital. I don't think I'm out of line. What would you do?!?!

so scary. my ds had a similar reaction (though not as bad) over july 4th. he had banana (which he has eaten with no problem for the past 2 months), but i put it on my breakfast plate after eating blueberry and chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes 
. he developed a rash around his mouth. so we stopped feeding him. the rash went away after a quick nap. then about an hour later (at my parents 4th BBQ) he was vomiting and he like your dd has never vomited. luckily we didn't need to take him to the ER. i nursed him to sleep and woke up a little groggy, but overall back to normal.
I felt so bad! Just threw up until his stomach was empty, then he was fine. We avoided them for 4 years and then reintroduced them (carefully) and he is not allergic anymore. Yay!
