When the baby adds complementary foods, eggs, as a food with high economical and nutritional value, often appear in the child's food supplement list!
01
When the child first added complementary foods to do child care, the doctor recommended that the child eat some egg yolks, because the yolk is also rich in lecithin, which helps the child's brain development.
The iron in the egg can supplement the child with a certain amount of iron, which is conducive to the child's immunity and intellectual development!
Eggs are a very affordable food, an egg is cheap for a few cents, the price of a little higher one or two dollars can give the child a meal, so parents also especially like to make eggs for their children to supplement food!
When the child first adds complementary foods, the child care doctor recommends eating egg yolk first, because the child's ability to digest the protein in the egg white is still relatively weak.
If the child starts steaming the whole egg into egg soup for the child to eat at 7 months, then the child is prone to allergic reactions because he eats the protein in the egg.

How do I add egg yolks to my child?
The easiest way is to boil the whole egg and peel it directly, then remove the outer egg white and use the yolk on the inside!
After the whole egg is boiled out of the shell, the peeled egg yolk is the whole, the baby's chewing ability is relatively weak, if you directly give the child empty stuttering, it is easy to cause the child to be choked!
Children steamed eggs are easy to eat allergies, and what should I do if I eat egg yolk alone and are easy to choke?
Parents are advised not to eat egg yolks for their children alone, but to make a variety of delicious complementary foods for their children to eat.
Not only can prevent children from being choked, but also eat egg yolks with other foods, but also allow children to consume more complementary foods, absorb more nutrients, and are more conducive to children's growth and development!

For example, when the child is 7 months old, you can make banana egg yolk paste for the child:
Bananas contain carbohydrates and potassium, while egg yolks contain excellent protein, iron, lecithin.
It is recommended to use half a banana, 1/4 of the cooked egg yolk, the two materials are pressed into a puree mixed together, add a small amount of warm boiling water to adjust, the aroma of the egg yolk and the sweetness of the banana mixed together, let the baby fall in love with eating complementary food, let the baby eat fragrant and grow faster!
You can also make egg yolk tofu puree for your child:
Tofu and egg yolk are cooked separately, and then the tofu and egg yolk are mixed together, white tofu and yellow egg yolk are mixed together to make the baby look more appetizing.

Pay attention to 5 points for children to eat eggs, so that children can eat more healthy
Point 1: Eat egg yolks in small amounts first
Children who have just begun to add complementary foods, even if they eat egg yolks that are relatively not easy to be allergic, should also try a small amount, especially some children with allergies, it is recommended to start eating from 1/8 first, and then add to 1/4 when the child eats without problems, and then add to 1/2, and then add to the yolk of the whole egg.
If your child eats the yolks of whole eggs at the beginning, it can be troublesome in case of allergies.
Point 2: Prevent your child from choking
Even adults, if you do not drink water or are in a hurry, the yolk of eating eggs is easy to choke in the throat, not to mention children with weak swallowing ability!
Give the yolk of the egg to the child to be made into a supplementary food, and the egg yolk is crushed for the child to eat.
Point 3: The addition of egg protein varies from person to person
If the child has had an allergic experience, such as a child's milk protein allergy, drinking milk powder has allergies, then the addition of egg protein must wait at least after the child is one year old.
If the child has eaten fish and has allergies, then the egg protein is also recommended for the child to eat after the age of one.
If you are relatively healthy without any allergies, when your child has eaten lean meat, beef, lamb, and fish at about 10 months, you can consider giving your child egg white!
Point 4: Eggs are well nourished and cannot be eaten every day
Before the child is one year old, eating 2 to 3 eggs a week is enough.
If I give my child too many eggs, it will affect your child's intake of other foods.
Although the nutritional value of eggs is high, for children who add complementary foods, they should take different nutrients from a variety of foods, which is more helpful for children not to be picky and not anorexia in the future, and is more conducive to the balanced nutrition of children.
Point 5: Eggs must be cooked carefully
The eggs for children must be cooked until cooked thoroughly, and some parents like to eat boiled eggs when frying eggs, that is, the yolk of the egg is still soft and soft, not completely cooked.
Such eggs may also have Salmonella infection, if you give the child to eat, it is easy to have diarrhea, and the eggs for the child must be completely cooked.
In addition to eating eggs, children also have to eat a variety of other complementary foods, which is the time to test the cooking skills of mothers.
