Dear all, when is a good time to introduce egg to baby? Is 8mths suitable? Both egg white/yolk? Thank you.

You can start introducing eggs to a baby after he/she is six months old. As a start, just offer one or two spoons of fully cooked egg. Watch out for any allergic reactions, which include: - swelling - hives - itchy, watery eyes - itchy or runny nose When my friend started giving her daughter egg, it was when her daughter was seven months old. She gave her baby a small bite of the omelet that she was eating. The next day, she shared a little bit of her hard boiled egg with her daughter. Her baby clearly enjoyed it and wanted more. She was very glad that her baby did not display any allergic reactions because egg is a very nutritious food and is something that is very easy to prepare.

The children in my family usually start eating eggs before they turn one (10-11 months). So far, none of the kids have shown any allergies towards eggs in general and scrambled eggs are a huge hit with them. At times, they have introduced eggs to baby at a younger age, a little after 6 months but it's usually mixed in the baby's porridge.
