My mother began to feed my baby with egg yolk when he was two or three months old. I still remember the day when my baby had diarrhea for a whole half day, and then went to the hospital to see a doctor if it was really not good. The doctor concluded that the stomach is fragile. Good egg yolk. Congratulations are true. It is rich in fat and nutrition, but feeding egg yolk six months ago may lead to indigestion in babies with weak stomach and intestines.
Egg white is rich in protein, which is a necessary choice for people who usually exercise and love beauty. However, babies should not eat protein too early, because some babies will be allergic to protein, which will cause some unnecessary diseases.
It is safest to give protein to your baby after one year old. At this time, the baby's digestive system is fully developed, so you can eat some protein properly, and protein can also play a very good role in grinding your teeth.
When the baby is young, fried eggs can't be fed to the baby at will. Fried eggs contain a lot of oil. Eating a lot of oil too early will cause a series of unnecessary troubles such as diarrhea and vomiting.
Finally, make a conclusion, as long as the baby eats eggs at least six months after beating, because the baby is still young and the digestive system is not particularly perfect. Moreover, it is also important to note that when feeding eggs to your baby, you should feed a small amount at a time to see if your baby is allergic. If not, you can rest assured that your baby can eat them.
The addition of complementary food generally starts from 6 months, and some can be advanced as early as 4 months at the earliest. Whenever complementary food is added, it is recommended to add high-iron rice flour at the first bite, but it is not recommended to add egg yolk too early, because egg yolk is easy to cause baby allergies and unbalanced nutrition, which is easy to cause indigestion.
Generally, we suggest that after the baby adapts to the high-iron rice flour, add the egg yolk gradually after 7-8 months, while the egg white will not be added until 1 year old. The recommended amount of egg yolk for the first time, to ensure that it is not allergic, and then gradually increase. Parents remember to steam the eggs thoroughly, and the fully cooked yolk is easier to digest and absorb.
Addition amount: 1/8 egg yolk in the first month, 1/4 egg yolk in the second month, 1/2 egg yolk in the third month and 1 whole egg yolk in the fourth month after eating egg yolk.
Two little things:
Egg yolk has high iron content, but its absorption and utilization rate is very low, only about 3%, so it is not an ideal iron supplement food.
Egg yolk is best added in liquid state, which can be mixed with warm water, mixed with baby rice flour or put into porridge.

Egg yolk is rich in lecithin, high-quality protein, vitamins and trace elements. Therefore, many parents take egg yolk as the first choice when their children add complementary food for 6-7 months. In fact, this is not necessarily good for their babies.
Because egg yolk is not easy to digest, if the baby's stomach is weak, eating egg yolk too early is easy to accumulate food.
In addition, if the baby has eczema and allergies, egg yolk is very likely to aggravate this situation. Therefore, if it is the above two cases, it is recommended to add egg yolk to the baby around one year old.
Isn't it a bit unexpected that egg yolk contains higher quality protein than egg white? Moreover, the fat contained in egg yolk is mainly monounsaturated fatty acid, and more than half of it is similar to oleic acid in olive oil, which is good for the heart.
Vitamins A, D, E and B2 in egg yolk are fat-soluble, which can prevent oral decay and supplement calcium, which is beneficial to children. In addition, egg yolk contains a variety of trace elements, including iron, which can prevent anemia.
1 year-old can steam egg soup.
You can also cook, crush the egg yolk and put it in millet soup, which is the perfect millet egg yolk porridge.
It can also be mixed with other green vegetables to make egg soup, small wonton, side dish cake and so on. It not only gives children a different taste, but also makes children willing to eat egg yolk, which is easy to digest.
Generally speaking, after six months, breast milk alone can't meet all the nutritional needs of the baby. At this time, complementary food should be gradually added on the basis of continuing breastfeeding (or formula powder). Many treasure moms have heard that egg yolk is nutritious, but they have also heard that egg yolk is a kind of food that easily causes allergies. So, when the baby is a few months old, can he start eating egg yolk?
Egg yolk is indeed an allergic food. According to the previous suggestions, it is generally recommended that the baby start adding egg yolk after 7 months. However, in recent years, many studies have found that delaying the addition of 0 allergic foods (including egg yolk) can not prevent infant food allergies, and even increase the risk of food allergies. On the contrary, trying allergic foods (including egg yolk) in time can promote the development of your baby's immune system, but it can reduce the risk of allergies.
Therefore, at present, most authoritative institutions at home and abroad (including American Academy of Pediatrics, China Nutrition Society, etc. It is recommended that the baby can start trying egg yolk after 6 months. Among them, the Dietary Guide for China Residents compiled by the Nutrition Society of China suggested that iron-rich foods, including iron-fortified baby rice noodles, minced meat and egg yolk, should be added after the baby is six months old. Of course, considering that baby rice noodles are rich in nutrition, high in iron content and not easy to be allergic, it is generally recommended to add them first, but you just want to add other iron-rich egg yolks and minced meat first. After adding baby rice flour for 2~3 days, if the baby has no discomfort (mainly allergic symptoms), a new food, such as egg yolk paste, meat sauce and other foods rich in iron, can be introduced, which is clearly pointed out in the 20 10 version of Dietary Guidelines for China residents.
Just add a new food (especially allergic egg yolk, fish, beans, seafood, etc. ) From less to more, closely observe whether the baby has allergic symptoms. It will be fine in 2~3 days. This kind of food can be safely eaten, and then continue to add other new foods. Enrich your baby's diet as soon as possible. There are a variety of foods, which are good for your baby's health now and in the future.
The order of complementary food for babies under one year old can be summarized in four words: juice, mud, powder and broken.
Every sentence is suitable for a season, and two kinds of food are special. Liver mud should be added in the third quarter, and egg yolk can be added in the second quarter.
Fruit juice refers to vegetable juice, rice soup and the like.
Mud is to make the ingredients into mud for the baby to digest and absorb.
Finally, the baby's digestive system is further developed, and the ingredients can be cut into fine powder to feed the baby.
Broken, that is, small broken ingredients, the baby can eat.
Let's talk about the benefits of egg yolk first.
Egg yolk is rich in trace elements such as vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, phosphorus and iron.
Egg yolk contains valuable vitamins A and D, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K. The reason why egg yolk is light yellow is because it contains riboflavin, which is vitamin B2. Can prevent mouth rot, glossitis, cleft lip, etc.
Unsaturated fatty acids in egg yolk are beneficial to prevent heart disease.
Egg yolk is rich in trace elements such as phosphorus and iron, and it is also rich in lecithin. Therefore, egg yolk is good for children to supplement iron and is also good for children's brain development.
Therefore, the baby's first complementary food is often egg yolk!
I hope my answer is helpful to you!
I am an allergic person myself. Therefore, I am more worried about children's allergies, so it is late to add egg yolk.
Generally speaking, doctors suggest that children can feed egg yolk when they can add complementary food for 4-6 months, but I suggest that each child's situation is different. If the mother is allergic, she can add egg yolk to the baby later.
And pay attention to adding egg yolk. Give the baby 1/8 yolk first, grind it into fine powder with a spoon, and feed it separately first. Don't mix them into porridge and noodles without knowing the exact reason, so as to avoid children's adverse reactions.
In addition, the egg yolk can be slightly thinner, not too sticky and choking the child.
If the child has no adverse reactions, he can increase the rate every week and eat 1/4 and 1/2 next week.
Be careful not to add egg white to the baby too early, because the baby's digestive system has not developed well. The protein molecule of egg white is small, which can penetrate the intestinal wall and directly enter the baby's blood, and it is prone to allergies, eczema and other symptoms.
So don't add egg whites until 6 months ago.
And don't cook eggs for children, be sure to cook them, not to the taste of adults.
