LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Eggs are a versatile food that are easy to feed your baby. As a Big 8 allergenic food (the 8 foods that account for about 90% of food allergy) eggs are a food to offer your baby early and often. For both nutrition and allergenic food introduction reasons, it’s safe and ideal to offer your baby both the egg white and the egg yolk beginning at 6 months of age. In this episode we’re diving deep into many of the different ways you can prepare eggs to safely offer your baby for baby-led weaning.

SUMMARY of episode

In this episode, I’m covering:

• Why eggs are one of the easiest allergenic foods to offer to your baby...and why we no longer wait on feeding babies egg white until after age 1

• 7 different ways that babies can safely eat eggs - this is not an exhaustive list but if we keep in mind that allergic reaction can occur on the 2nd or subsequent exposure, you’ll get a few good usable ideas on how you can introduce eggs early and often

• A vegan substitute for eggs if you don’t eat eggs because of egg allergy or because your family does not eat animal products
