The question of when to introduce the baby to eggs worries many mothers and fathers of growing children.
When to give your baby yolk
According to pediatricians, you can include egg yolk in your baby's diet starting at 7 months. You should start feeding with a quarter of a hard-boiled egg, and then monitor the baby's reaction to the "new thing." By 8 months of age, the amount of the product can be increased to half a yolk.
When to introduce protein
Since protein can cause an allergy, it is best to discuss this issue with your baby's pediatrician.
What eggs can be given to a child
Chicken or quail eggs can be used as complementary food - there is no significant difference between them in terms of nutritional value.
How to cook an egg for a baby
Babies can only eat hard-boiled eggs. For older children, steamed omelettes are allowed, possibly with vegetables.
Restrictions when introducing complementary foods
Do not introduce complementary feeding (egg or anything else) if the child is unwell, teething, or scheduled for preventive vaccinations.
Prohibited are eggs of waterfowl, as well as undercooked eggs (soft-boiled or soft-boiled).
