When can you introduce eggs? Whites or yoke?

  I've heard yolks around 8 months and whites by a year around the bump. I was told we could introduce any food any time so he had both by 8 months. I introduced yolk and white at different times before giving him whole eggs.

  Pedi said we could introduce anything but honey at 9 mos. We have no  history of allergies. We tried eggs but DS didn't (and still doesn't) like them.

  We started eggs (the whole thing) around 9 or ten months.

  We gave DD scrambled egg (whole thing) around 9 months. We were okay'd to give anything except honey before 1 year. Neither SO or my family have any food allergies.

  I did whole eggs by 9 months or so. If no one in your LO's immediate family has an egg allergy, I wouldn't worry about the whites/yolks thing.

  No one here has an egg allergy, but DS1 has a severe egg allergy. We found out at about 11 months when I intro'd eggs.

  We probably started giving them at 7ish months.  She loves the whites when they're hard boiled.  Otherwise, she loves scrambled whole eggs.

  Because DS had eczema his Dr said to wait until a year because a lot of times eczema and egg allergies go hand in hand (and as it turned out he has a severe egg allergy).

  I think you're suppose to do yolks before white/whole... But by one year I think they can eat both. You could've given yolk months ago. 

  Id give yolk before jumping into both....

  For some reason my pedi says no egg whites until 2 years (yolk fine), but I'm not following that.  My son had a few bites of whole egg around 1 year.  We don't feed it often but next time we make eggs I'm giving him some.

  This.  We never had a problem.  DS loves scrambled eggs with cheese!  It's an easy option when you have nothing else.

  Same here. No history of allergies, but LO is allergic to eggs.

  If I had it to do again, I would wait a year and intro the whole egg together rather than try to give her yolk a few months earlier. She hates eggs now. I try to sneak them in things for protein, and she's hip to it. I have to be creative with meats and other whole protein combinations.
