Do you give baby scrambled eggs?

DD eats table food and LOVED scrambled eggs.

My LO is much younger, so no. But I thought eggs weren't until 1 year old?

Yes. Scrambled, hard boiled, fried without oil, really any way I'm eating them.

Eggs are a high allergen food. The new recommendation is not to delay offering high allergen foods, where they used to say to hold off on them. If there's no history of allergies in the family, there's no reason to wait.

I wasn't sure what the latest thing was and I knew she had been exposed through bread etc. so I tried it. Then of course I saw how it's dangerous to try before a year. She eats everything that we eat and won't touch baby food so what the heck. She loved them. haha

It's the white that is the (common) allergen... we were told that the yolk is good to go...

That said... there were so many times that there were little bits of the white stuck to the yolk that eventually we just said to hell with it, there's no way that she's allergic. It's near impossible to separate entirely...

She has been eating whole eggs for months now. Our pediatrician said everything except honey was fine before 1.

DD is 8 months and yes.

I've dine egg yolks scrambled in BM. Hubs has giving him whites and no problem. Like PP said, besides peanut butter/nuts and honey everything else is a go.

We did scrambled yolks. Works out because then I use the whites for me. She was pretty meh about them compared to most other things she's tried.

We used scrambled whole eggs as a first food for both kids. It's what's for breakfast most any day. We start them on table food from the start. For DD that was 5 1/2 months for DS that was more like 6 1/2-7 months.

ETA: we don't hold off on peanut butter either. With no history in Mom or Dad or a sibling of a true nut allergy there is no (actual) recommendation to hold off. We use toast with butter and peanut butter spread on it as a first food also.

Peanut butter is a chocking hazard, besides being a potential allergen.

Yea, I forgot that they were a food you were supposed to wait on. She's had no problems with them though.

Not spread thinly on toast, while being supervised.

This

With DD, we were told to hold off on eggs, strawberries, peanut anything, and honey until after age 1 (this was 3 years ago). Now with DS Pedi said anything is fine before age 1 is fine except honey as long as its not a choking hazard. It's crazy how fast things change.

I have a lax pedi but he told me no whites until a year. The yolk is fine now.

That said we are cautious with food that she gets.

I will do the same thing I did with DS1 - wait until he's 8 months old, let him try egg yolks for a week to check for allergies then let him try whites and/or scrambled.
