I read and followed the advice when weaning to only give DD well-cooked egg. She is now 1, and I am wondering at what age you give soft-boiled egg. We used to go to a baby group at the children's centre where they once got someone in to talk weaning. This 'expert' said that children shouldn't have soft-boiled egg until they are about 4. This surprised me. Is she right? Do small children of this generation not have boiled egg and toast soldiers?

I know others don't give it to under 1s, but DD had soft cooked egg from 6mo (BLW)

Oh dear DS has had runny egg since 6 months, or scrambled more often. I've never cooked an egg til set for him.

I would say it is ok for over 1's especially if the eggs have been lion stamped (chickens were vaccinated against salmonella)

DD has had runny egg since 6 months too. She loves her dippy soldiers.

I give Baby Goo soft boiled egg, and have done since we weaned her really.

I thought it was ok once they're one?

I have given soft eggs since weaning. UK hens are vaccinated for salmonella and I can't think of any other reason not to.

Baby DJ has had soft egg since 6 months (BLW). The yolk is really good for them as it is high calorie and fattening.
