Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Your baby seems to be having food allergy.
Try to introduce one substance a week and try to find out if there is allergy to that substance.
If your baby develops allergy then avoid that substance.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
