Baby Allergic To Rice Cereal?

We decided to use Thanksgiving to start our 4 1/2 month old on cereal.. She loved it (or the game of it) and then became fussy (nap time), so I took her upstairs to change her and breast feed her and put her down (our routine).

When I unzipped her sleeper, waiting for me was a nice rash all over her torso... Next day the rash was still there and the Doctor said no cereal till 6 mos... and maybe never!!!

I am a little frustrated because Barrett is a healthy eater and solids would help me not feel like a milk cow.. The Doctor said we could let the hives go away and try one more time (I also ate pumpkin night before this) to make sure rice is the culprit... I have been scanning the web for rice cereal reactions and nothing!

I guess more to be told after 2nd try....
