Any experience with allergic shiners in babies?
I think that DD2 has allergic shiners (dark circles under her eyes caused by allergies). In fact, the physician we saw as part of the sleep evaluation we had for DD2 pointed them out (our regular ped has never mentioned anything though). The ENT that DH, I, and DD1 all see had told us when he first saw DD1 as a toddler that environmental allergies rarely develop before the age of 4. I'm starting to wonder though...DD1 doesn't has not had any glaring allergic reactions such as hives or anaphylaxis, but she does always have red cheeks and rough skin on her legs (eczema, maybe?) and we are currently testing out a possible milk sensitivity (in that, we are stopping whole cow milk for a while and using Lactaid milk or formula). Any BTDT with allergic shiners in babies? DD1 is 13 months. When I call then ENT/allergist, what specifically should I mention or ask them about?
