Is it possible to be allergic to your own child?
assistant
Yes, it is possible. Allergies are caused by an overactive immune system that produces antibodies against certain proteins in the environment. These antibodies can then attack these proteins when they come into contact with them again. So if you have a high level of antibodies for a specific protein, and your baby has a high level of this same protein, you may develop an allergy to your own child.
