Eggs and a 1 year old?

Question

is it ok to give my 1 year old whole eggs(scrambled or even in a cake), some people have told me not to give eggs till 2 years old others have said that you can give eggs at 9 months,so i am confused , is there a certain part that is bad for kids?

Answer 1

Well our doc okayed scrambled (and other well cooked eggs) at 8 months. If there's no known allergy in the family, then I think it's absolutely ok to give to a 1 year old. My daughter never had a problem with them. She loves them.  

Answer 2

maybe small amounts of the white, but babies usually dont digest food well until later on, plus they could be alergic, so i would stick to other things - all natural thngs

Answer 3

I think my one its fine in cakes because every baby i know, including myself, all ate birthday cake for our first birthday

Answer 4

Eggs are okay at one year. I gave my 12 month old scrambled eggs for the first time the other day and he loved them! Just watch for an allergic reaction like you did when you introduced fruits and veggies.  

Answer 5

eggs are FINE - the old thing about not giving certain foods before certain ages has been disproved.  unless you have a family history of allergies, you can give any food as early as you want.

Answer 6

you can give her eggs after a year old just watch her and make sure she doesn't have an allergic reaction. The only reason they don't want you to give them eggs under one year is because it heightens the chance of the child developing an allergy. She will probably love them! Just watch her closely they 1st couple times you feed them to her!

Answer 7

i was told yolks are ok at 9 months, and i thought whites were ok at 1 year... there are proteins in egg white that can be difficult for a young child to digest... so basically you child should be ok with a whole egg and if he's not it MAY cause a tummy ache
