Can my baby have eggs?
A quick, age-by-age answer with how to serve it safely. Checked against AAP 2017, NIAID.
Usually starts around 6 months.
Egg is a top allergen, and introducing it early rather than delaying can lower allergy risk. Most babies start solids, including egg, around 6 months.
How to serve: Fully cooked only. Watch for a reaction the first few times.
Offer it fully cooked, and watch for a reaction.
Egg is one of the top 9 allergens. Introducing it early can reduce allergy risk. Always serve it fully cooked, with no runny yolk under 12 months, because of Salmonella risk.
How to serve: Scramble well or hard-boil and mash. No runny yolk under 12 months.
