She said hard-boiled egg YOLKS are a great first food - but don't give egg white as it can be an allergen. Technically runny yolks would be okay, except that it's basically impossible to completely separate yolk and white unless it's hard-boiled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180430 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:30:57 +0000 Pipers Mommy 180430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave my LO eggs early too, I read an article that said 9 months and on was OK, she loves them, too. She had had hard boiled and also scrambled. </p> <p>When we went for her last MD visit the MD said no eggs until after one, so I didn't even bother telling him that the ship has sailed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180418 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:24:14 +0000 chopsuey 180418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fed Lo eggs early on. She loves them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180413 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:19:55 +0000 mrbee 180413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be careful with bakery bread if your LO is allergic to egg whites! It's sometimes painted with egg whites to make it look yummier... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180327 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:32:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 180327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: challah is delicious! She probably loves it and it's a great way to give her early exposure to those proteins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180315 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:28:07 +0000 knittingmama 180315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, most bread (unless it's challah or an egg roll or something) doesn't have eggs. My husband likes to bake. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180310 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:26:24 +0000 heffalump 180310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I give LO challah which is egg bread. I didn't even think about it before. Oops. But you made me feel better. She's been eating it for awhile and no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180309 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:26:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 180309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Look at the article I posted. You may not want to avoid eggs after reading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180302 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:24:06 +0000 MamaMoose 180302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cousin who has a fatal egg allergy so I was planning to be very careful about introducing eggs but I never thought of all the things that have eggs in them... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180300 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:23:54 +0000 Andrea 180300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah what Mrs. Jacks said! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180295 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:20:40 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 180295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So first of all, the data on eggs is outdated. There is a nice 2010 article that looked at lots of kids and the ones who had eggs earlier were less likely to be egg allergic. Here's the article: <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20920771" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20920771</a></p> <p>Second, eggs are not in all bread, but cooked proteins are more denatured (or broken down).</p> <p>That's why when I introduced milk I started with cooked milk, then cheese, then yogurt than milk... because the proteins are more denatured the more cooked they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180291 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:18:04 +0000 heffalump 180291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Yeah I've heard the whites are the dangerous part, not because of not being cooked through but because of allergies. But egg whites are in things like bread so I'm confused to how that's ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180286 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:16:41 +0000 Rubies 180286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's doctor said that hard-boiled yolks are perfectly fine and even the whites *should* be okay, too, as long as they are absolutely cooked through (ie. hard-boiled). I haven't been brave enough to give her the whites, yet, but I have given her the yolks with no reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-eggs#post-180283 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:14:33 +0000 heffalump 180283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything I read says no eggs for babies under one. But everything also says that bread is ok. Aren't eggs in bread? </p>
