Introducing Eggs

[Crazy Monkey]

Hi...

Not sure if this has been bought up before, if so, can someone point me in the right direction (looked but couldn't find anything on eggs)...

Anyway, basically what I want some advice on is how to start DS on eggs??? He is nearly 9 months and really want to try him on something new but I know eggs can cause a reaction in some...

Whats the best way?? white or yolk first?? or the whole egg??

He has had some of the cans/jar foods that contain eggs and has had no reaction.. Does this mean he should be OK??

Thanks in advance

Definitely yolk...most reported cases of allergies is from the egg white. I seperate the yolk and just started by mixing a little bit into custard.

I was told by a CHN that you can rub a small amount of egg (not sure if yolk or white) onto babies skin, if he reacts to it, he is allergic, if not then its fine... Apparently if you have an allergy to something you will react with it even if it comes into contact with your skin...
