Eggs for a baby?

Question

My daughter is 10 months old and eats mainly table food. I thought of incorporating scrambled eggs into her diet. Anyone know what age is recommended for eggs? AND DON'T PUT ME DOWN FOR ASKING...I HAVEN'T GIVEN THEM TO HER YET, I JUST AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE AGE FACTOR.

I did read that you can give just the cooked egg yolk as early as 7 months but to not give cooked egg whites until 1 year because of possible allergic reaction. Anyone give their baby scrambled eggs (whites and all) to their baby before 1 year and what was your experience?

Answer 1

You are right. Ignore the first answer - she got it backwards. You can give her egg yolks, not egg whites. Try giving her hard boiled egg yolks mashed up to start with.

Answer 2

Your'e supposed to wait until 1 year before introducing egg white.

You can cook and mash the yokes for her, thats fine.

See, the gal up there said the opposite, but i was told this. I would ask her doctor, or google it.

Answer 3

I have the book "What to expect the First Year" and this book says not to feed your child eggs until they are 1. This also goes for peanut butter and a couple other things. My doctor also gave me information on this so I know the book isn't lying.

Answer 4

They say to wait until she is a year due to possible allergies. You can always try a little and keep a close eye on her. I did this with my son and peanut butter and he was fine.

Answer 5

wait until she is one to give her eggs, that goes for strawberries, milk, peanut butter and chocolate too. honey on the other hand she shouldn't have until she is a few years older. i was told this from my daughter's doctor and ot, because of botulism.

Answer 6

she can have egg whites now. wait until after her first birthday to include the yolks
