At what age can babies start eating eggs? I heard it was unsafe.?

Answer 1

I've read that babies can have cooked egg yolks starting at 6 months, but not to give egg whites until 12 months. Some people are allergic to egg whites, so doctors delay their introduction into the diet.

Answer 2

They recommend the yolks (cooked, of course) from about 9 months on and the whites not until about 12 months. The reason for this is that they are very high in protein and are difficult for a baby's body to digest. So it's not really a safety issue per se, but you will at least want to take it easy on eggs until baby is closer to toddler age. A little bite of hardboiled egg is quite different than a lunch of egg salad, as far as digestion goes.

Answer 3

A baby can sfaely eat egg yolks until age 1, when they should be able to eat the whole egg. The only time they shouldn't get even egg yolks is when there's a family history of egg allergies.

Answer 4

At nine months old, they can have a well-cooked egg. Try a little hard boiled or scrambled one - a small bite or two at time. Make sure it's the only new thing they have - to watch for allergies.

Speaking of, if there's any history of egg allergy in your family, speak to the doctor first.

Answer 5

Depends. If you have allergy in your family. Usually it is safe to give eggs well cooked of course from 9 months on. Some drs say 12 for the egg whites. If you choose to try make sure you watch for any reactions.......

Answer 6

We began my son on solid meals at 6 months. We slowly presented him to "table nutrition" at 6 months as nicely. We specifically used purees to get him used to the flavors of meals we did not make, alongside with candy potatoes. it is not appropriate what share tooth your toddler has. they might mash incredibly lots something with their gums. you do not chew with your front tooth, and maximum youngsters are not getting molars till after a million 365 days.

Answer 8

If you or your husband have any history of atopic disease (asthma, eczema, hay-fever, food allergies, pet allergies, drug allergies, etc) you should delay introduction of highly allergenic foods such as milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, fish and shellfish.

Talk to your doctor first.
