Is there a per week limit on eggs?

[DixiePixie]

This will probably sound like a silly question, but does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of eggs a baby can eat in a week.

Up to now, I've not been feeding my 10 month old DD more than 2 per week because I've been worried about whether it would make her constipated. I'm I being a bit neurotic? (wouldn't be the first time )

Its not a silly question, I have heard that there are guidelines to egg consumption but can't remember where I read it, or what the limit is, I didn't used to give more than 1-2 eggs a week and still don't really... as my dh hates eggs its not an issue which arises in our house very often!!

Thanks for replying. Wish I know where to look for these guidelines. Eggs are such a good way of cooking something protein-filled quickly, and family sized omelettes work pretty well. I'm just not sure if once I've done the weekly omelette I've used up DD's egg allowance for the week or not! (It would be nice to also make her egg custards and stuff)

I think they're used to be a limit, but now they are generally considered to be so good for you that unless you eat 10 a day it's not going to do any harm.

I try to give mine at least 3 egg dishes a week cause it's good for them.

I think there used to be a limit - Mumsnet is starting to rub off a little too much!

there is no recommended limit for eggs:

Eggs

the limit we are all vaguerly aware of I think has to do with cholestorol (sp?)
so unless you have a chol... issue then its not an issue i think

I'm glad you asked this

ATM my 9yo is eating about 9 eggs a week & I was mildly concerned....but now I feel OK

Thanks for answers & the link

Bravo for no limit. My 16 month old dd eats masses of them!
