When is it okay to give LO eggs?
-
I think it's 7 months old? That's what our ped told us.
-
I was wondering this too. I have a friend that started at 6 months but I planned to ask at our 6 month appointment anyway.
-
Depends on whether there is a history of egg allergies in your family. If there are, then I would wait until a year. But if not - I started giving them to LO around 7 months.
-
We don't have a history of allergies, so we got the ok at 6 months. He did have a problem with the texture and spit them up for a while until he got better at chewing a couple of months later.
-
How do you all gove the eggs? Do you puree them?
-
Thanks everyone! We don't have any history of food allergies in our family. LO is 7.5 months. Maybe I'll give her some egg yolk soon!
-
I gave them from the start at 6 months, and she still hates them. Such a bummer.
-
@plantains: haha ew!! nope. My sister started spoon feeding yolks, but I just scramble them and he can mash them with his gums.
-
LO started eating yolks at 8 months and scrambled eggs around 10 months. She eats egg whites now at almost 12 months!
-
Either scrambled our hard boiled...we keep things easy in our house

We waited until around 10 months. If we're making them for DS, we just scramble them. He's also had a few bites of our fried eggs.
