Well this is probably a Captain Obivous thing, but stay the heck away from anything with Red Food dye in it for your little one. A good percentage of children/babies react to it in some form or another. And yet for some unknown reason, we still get a large percentage of things like medicine with red food dye in it. I mean really.....an infant doesn't care what colour their Tylenol is. Trust me.....get the dye free stuff.
I used to get migraines from red food dye, so I've been avoiding it for my little Munchkin. But I've been having a hard time with the grape flavoured tylenol and was told that all infants love the cherry. So I bought some cherry and took the chance with the red dye (I later found out that apparently the dye free cherry does exist, I just can't find it as of yet). He loved it but........ I gave it to him about 1/2 an hour before bedtime. By the time we put him in bed he was a little choo choo train. His arms and legs were going a mile or two a minute and he showed no signs of slowing down. I brought him back down to his Dad to entertain for 1/2 an hour so I could get a little nap in. He put Munchkin in the Jolly Jumper where he went to town for a 1/2 hour and still wanted to keep going.
So yeah......your child can either be hyper or get a nasty headache.....so stay away from the red food dye.
