Remember the reaction while details are fresh
Record the food, time, symptoms and severity, then share a clear history with the people caring for your baby.
How to track baby allergies
Write down facts, not conclusions
First handle your baby’s immediate needs. When it is safe, record what they ate, when they ate it, what you observed, how serious it seemed and what happened next. Plumi keeps those details together for your pediatrician and caregivers, without trying to diagnose the cause.
Log the reaction where the meal happened
A solids entry already has the food and time. Mark a reaction, choose mild or severe, select the symptoms you saw, and add the context that matters in a note. The food is then available in the allergy list on the Care tab.

What makes a reaction log useful?
A short, specific note is easier to discuss than “something happened after lunch.”
Add useful context
Use the note for details such as preparation, approximate amount, when symptoms began, how long they lasted and what action you took.
Egg muffin, three bites. Rash around the mouth about 20 minutes later. No breathing symptoms. Called the pediatrician.
Example only. Describe what you actually observed.
Know when the log should wait
Trouble breathing or swallowing, major face or tongue swelling, blue or pale color, limpness, or any reaction that feels severe needs immediate medical attention. Contact your local emergency service and follow your child’s medical plan.
For non-urgent questions, contact your pediatrician. Plumi stores observations; it cannot tell whether a symptom is an allergy, irritation, intolerance, illness or coincidence.
Baby allergy tracking questions
How can I track possible baby food allergies?
When it is safe to do so, record the food, time, symptoms, severity and useful context while the details are fresh. Note how the food was prepared, roughly how much was eaten, when symptoms began and what happened next. A clear record supports a conversation with your pediatrician; it does not diagnose an allergy.
Is the Plumi baby allergy tracker free?
Yes. Logging a food reaction, keeping the allergy list and sharing a text summary are free. Plumi Pro adds family and caregiver sync plus the printable Baby Card for appointments.
Which allergens can I record?
Plumi includes quick picks for milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish and sesame. You can also type another food and add a note for details that do not fit a preset.
Can I share the allergy list with a nanny or grandparent?
Yes. The free Share List action creates a readable text summary for Messages, WhatsApp or email. With Plumi Pro, an invited caregiver can also see the selected child’s allergy list and shared care log in the app.
Can Plumi tell me whether a reaction is an allergy?
No. Plumi is a record-keeping tool, not a diagnostic or medical device. A pediatrician or allergy specialist should interpret symptoms and advise whether or how a food should be introduced again.
What should I do if a reaction seems severe?
Stop logging and seek urgent medical help. Trouble breathing or swallowing, major face or tongue swelling, blue or pale color, limpness, or any reaction that feels severe needs immediate attention. Contact your local emergency service and follow your child’s medical plan.
