can babies eat eggs
can babies eat eggs?
i was just reading the british food standard agency website about baby weaning, and it said eggs can be given to babies over 6 months of age. i thought it was 12 months myself but this is a government site so it must be ok.
Well my question is, how would you give an egg to a baby? do you just give them hardboiled and mashed?? or can they only eat one part of the egg.
The yolks are supposed to be okay after around 6 months, but you are supposed to wait until at least a year old for the egg whites. It’s a real pain to try to separate eggs so that no white is on the yolk at all, so it’s much easier to just hold off on eggs altogether until they are a year or so. That’s what I did.
At that age, you could serve them eggs prepared however you like. Just cut them into pieces that are too small to choke on.
