If babies can't have egg whites...

Nicole.

then do I just scramble up a yolk? I want to try eggs with Jake but scrambling a yolk just seems to weird to me...TIA!

Yup!  I know, it seems weird.  Ava used to love it, though!  I used to add a little cheese, too.

I give H scrambled eggs all the time.  My pedi says it's fine...the latest research doesn't support waiting to introduce any food that is not a choking hazard (the exception being honey, because of the botulism risk). Did you check with your pedi?

I would check with your pedi, mine said egg whites were perfectly acceptable if she hadn't shown allergies to anything yet.  She also said pb was fine a couple months before one, so I'm not sure if she is just a liberal pedi.

We gave Hayden egg whites at about 10 months. His pedi  tols us that delaying foods (like eggs and peanut butter) only delays the onset of allergies not prevent them.

Our pedi gave us the okay for whole eggs at her 9mo appt.  We've tried scrambled eggs a couple of times and then we tried a hard boiled egg yesterday.  She is NOT a fan.

we gave cal whole eggs before we ever heard about egg whites being a no-no.  i think i only heard about it on here, though...our pedi said they were fine.  you could always hard boil and just give him the yolk.

I sprayed Pam in a coffee mug and broke the egg into that. Covered it with a paper towel and cooked it for 1 minute. I picked out the egg yolk and gave him the "hard boiled" part. I then ate the egg whites :-)

Per our pedi and other research I've read, we've given Stella the whole egg from the get go.  She's never had a bit of trouble with them.

I'd cook the eggs over hard and peel out the yolk for Jake to eat. I'd eat the whites.  It's a great way to get protein in the morning!

We got the okay to give the whole egg at her 9 month appointment.  Apparently there's new research out there regarding what to give/not give infants.  She loves scrambled eggs with some cheese and tomotoes.  And now she's even a fan of egg salad!  Good luck!
