Is this advisable? The advise out there is very conflicting, what did you do? How early did you introduce eggs?

Thanx

Introduced scrambled egg at about 10 months both time only to discover that DS had an egg allergy sorry this isn't the advice you were looking for.

Hi, you can introduce eggs at 6 months of age as long as they are well cooked.

If you do introduce eggs then don't introduce anything else (that you haven't used before) for 3 days so that if they have any reaction you will know not to give the food again.

Hope this is what you wanted

we've only just done it and dd is 11 months now. i'd given her yolks once before at about 9 and a half months but it was such a faff i decided to wait a wee bit longer.

I gave ds egg first time at 8 months. We have no history of allergies, and I am vegetarian, so not giving him meat yet.

6 months here. No problems.

6 months here and no problems (despite already having a milk intolernace). That is the current 'official' advice, as long as thorougly cooked.

intolernace = intolerance, obviously!

I was told yolk only until 1 year (the whites are supposed to be more allergy inducing), but held off anyway until over a year.

It's weird how rules are so different from country to country - I live in Italy and we're told that eggs are off limits until 10 months and then yolk only, definitely a no no at 6 months, but then everwhere says different things so who knows what's right and what's not?
