When are Eggs Okay?

[Twins2000]

Quick question. At what age is it considered safe to give a toddler scrambled eggs? My dd is 13 months old.

TIA!

If your family has no history of any allergies, it's fine. If you do have allergies or your DD has reactions to other foods, I'd talk to your pediatrician first.

I think it's pretty standard to give egg yolks around 9 months and egg whites at 12 months. But our DD has shown egg intolerance (along with dairy), so we have to wait until she is 3.

Thank you for the info!

We started with whole eggs before a year, at like 9 or 10 months I think. No allergy history in my family.
