When are eggs ok?

Normally I post on 6-9 but I thought you guys would be able to help out too. Abby has suddenly decided she hates purees so we are looking for good finger foods. I have heard eggs a lot. When can you introduce those? Are yolks and whites ok or can they only eat a certain part?

Yolks are ok, but you're supposed to wait on egg whites until a year because they are a common allergy food, from what I've heard. DD eats scrambled egg yolks and we have no problems- she loves them.

We gave egg yolk at 6.5 months and the whole egg at 7 months.  We have had no problems and DD loves them!

We have no history of allergy so we gave DD whole eggs around 7.5 months.

The pedi told us that DD could have the whole egg at 9 mos as long as there were no egg allergies in our family.

Our pedi said as long as there's no family history of egg allergies then we could try them. DD first had them at 8.5 months.

We have no family history of food allergies either, but J is allergic to milk, eggs and nuts. We have to wait to try eggs till his skin test no longer shows an allergy FWIW, we only tested for egg whites and it was only at a .59, so hes not super allergic to them like he is to milk, but we are still avoiding, obviously.

DD has been having whole scrambled eggs since 8 months or so. She loves them and they are a great source of protein.
