When to introduce egg

[Harmony83]

Okay I know my CHN told me but I completely forgot! When do you introduce egg to bubs... Also I know you are only supposed to give yolk till 12 months old but how is the best way to cook it for them and can you mix it with something??
Thanks guys

From 6mths is fine and my health clinic nurse told me the following to test for allergy prior to feeding egg's to bub (rub a little egg on bub's inner-arm and see if the skin react's - takes a couple of hours) - worth trying!
I found scrambled egg the best introduction for my two, they loved it!

This is gonna sound really stupid, but do I just rub raw egg on his arm or cooked... Yes I know really silly question, gosh I can almost picture the look your giving me... :o

Hi there, for little Sophia (will turn 1` year old in two weeks) I have been offering her egg yolk as an ingredient in her pasta. She loves it.

I boil water, to make a broth, add a quarter veggie stock cube, add pastina (little pasta), when that's all cooked, I add the yolk and stir quickly with a fork, so that it cooks (take 30-50 secs to cook the yolk).....and that's it....it's a good, quick meal which she loves.

She hasn't developed any rashes, or reactions to it, thankfully.....the only yukky thing is the smell of egg on bibs etc, so a good two day soak in napisan tends to get rid of the smell and the egg stain....

Enjoy

I soft boil an egg, crack it open and then dip toast soldiers into the yolk. Spencer then gobs happily on an eggy soldier.
