Could this be an allergy?

We gave our nine-month-old his first biter biscuit this week, and he threw up. We thought it was caused by something else (there has been a bug going around) but then we noticed that he has thrown up all three times he's had a biter biscuit, and otherwise hasn't puked in months.

Has this happened to any of your kids? He has been on formula (soy) for several months, and eats stage one and two baby foods. But the biter biscuits are the first cookie-type thing he has had, so we're thinking he could be allergic to something in them.

We definitely aren't going to give him any more of them, but we're wondering if we should do more, like call the nurse tomorrow or something. What do you think?

well how far does he stick it into his mouth? My daughter used to gag on them and would throw up.

If it will put your mind at ease call the nurse.

I thought about that, but he has never puked while eating them, only afterwards, like 5-30 minutes after.

hmm it could be irritating his tummy, i would call and talk to the nurse.

You could try a different brand/type of biter biscuit and see if he has the same reaction...

It could possibly be an allergy or reaction that he might outgrow.
My son was allergic to anything with rice or rice flour as a baby and toddler. He threw up rice cereal and any baby food made with rice flour. We couldn't give him anything with that in it.
He can eat rice now that he's older. He started eating it at maybe 3 years old and can tolerate it now.
