Scrambled eggs

silvie25mar · January 2013

I like making scrambled egg yolks with some cheese for dd, but any suggestions on how to not make it so dry. Other than cooking time

Can't you use the whole egg?

Ivebeen reading no egg whites until a year.

Oh. My dr said to start offering egg at the 9 month check up. I have always heard the age one rule too. Things are always changing. My LO gets a fried ( half of one) egg with cheese every morning since 9 months... So far so good.

You know what. I agree. Dd is 10 months and I'm quite sure if I have her a whole egg it wouldn't be an issue. We don't have any histories of major allergies that I know of. So maybe ill try it out. Things are always changing and every dr is slightly different. They know best I guess and just because you READ something doesn't always mean its a fact. My dr is comfortable with me slowly introducing cows milk now, which I have been. In conjunction with breast and tons of people would crush me for that. Gotta trust the ped knows best right. Thanks for your post!

So many different pediatricians suggest so many different things. Just go with whatever you think is right. We gave our girls eggs at 9 months and they did fine. Yes this is not representative of how other kids will react, but I don't think my pediatrician is necessarily an expert in nutrition. He recommends things and then we do what we think is best. I also gave cow's milk to DD#1 at about 10 months because I was pregnant and running out of breast milk and really didn't want to give formula. Of course, ask my mom and she claims we got cow's milk at 6 months- thanks mom. This time around I'm EBF and probably won't be giving cows milk for several months.

But anyway I think a good rule of thumb is just slowly introduce foods and just monitor them. Although w/DD#2 we didn't slowly introduce things we just gave her everything at once and it also worked out. But we have no food allergies in our house and well, it's our second kid

good luck! Both my girls love eggs. Also could you add some milk to the scrambled eggs?

We've done whole scrambled eggs for awhile. The first few times he had them, we made sure it was early in the day on a day we could watch for any type of reaction, but most reactions to eggs are gastrointestinal and will be discovered in the diaper any way. If you're still a little nervous, you can try a little egg white at first.

Coming over a bit early from the 6-9 board.

We've been giving egg yolk since 7 months. Our pedi also recommends no egg white til 1 year. I've been keeping DC informed on what DS can eat there now and they said they can't give eggs til 1 year there.

My DD is 6 1/2 months and I give her scrambled eggs. I mix a little whole milk and cheese in them and she does fine.

What do you think would be a sign of eggs or milk not agreeing? I've noticed every since I started yogurt she gets one diaper with some watery type poop.

DS started whole scrambled eggs at 9 months, on the advice of our pediatrician. He loves them.

I scramble the whole egg with about 1Tbsp of milk or water. Also, cooking it on med/low keeps it fluffy.

Add some milk and they won't be so dry. Thats what I do.

Hmm, where did you get that information from?  Ten seconds after my DD started shoving eggs in her mouth she had hives all over her face and hands. 

I think that's a one off. I like to think that most kids won't have egg allergies. But they need to have the one year waiting period in place for safety. Do you have a history of dairy allergies?

When I make scrambled eggs for us, I always add small dash of milk so it doesn't dry up. Depending if your DD can have milk, maybe add a small amount.

Most. Not all.

I always think it's interesting to read about the differences in opinion that pediatricials have regarding food. Our pediatrician said (at our 6 month) that we could introduce any and all food except for honey. She had no problem with us introducing foods that are common allergens.

We have been giving whole eggs for a long time now and I usually mix in a little milk. Omlets have been a great way to give variety with breakfast since you can do so many different combinations with veggies, meats, and cheeses.

It is funny because DH and I always talk about that. That we trust a complete stranger with the health of our child. Every doctor thinks differently just like every parent does. So its funny that one has a different opinion than the other. I think thats what gets parents debating over right and wrong! LOL

The Ametican Academy of Pediatrics says no need to hold off on egg whites. I tend to get my info there because many pediatricians seem behind on the new research/ recommendations. I add milk and a variety of meats, veggies and/or cheeses to our eggs. Lucia loves feta, basil and tomato, but she'll eat pretty much any scramble.

Squirt it with a little bit of water then cover it with a lid while cooking. It creates steam and makes if fluffy. I saw this as a chef was cooking one time.
