Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Many moms introduce egg around 1 year (some pediatricians say a bit earlier), always fully cooked, starting with a small portion and increasing gradually. Popular forms are scrambled, mashed boiled egg, omelette/omelette strips and French toast.
⚠️ Caution:Always cook eggs fully, introduce a small amount first to watch for allergic reactions, and consult your pediatrician on the right starting age for your baby.
Parents, especially from vegetarian families, worry about when it is safe to introduce egg and whether their child will react to it. The community shares that fully cooked egg in small, gradually increasing amounts is a well-loved protein source, with many pediatricians suggesting around the 1-year mark.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Egg is a good source of protein and can be introduced early. Make sure it's fully cooked - hard boiled, scrambled or as an omelette.
Try scrambled eggs or soft-boiled eggs in small amounts. Don't give a full boiled egg at once; start with half an egg for a week then increase to a full egg. Keep portion size small.
My pediatrician said to start egg when the baby turns 1 year old.
I gave it as French toast - dipped bread in egg and cooked it. Omelette is also okay.
For my 6-month-old I boil the egg well, mash it with a fork, and feed.
Omelette strips work well as finger food for around 9 months.
