How many eggs should a 1-year-old baby eat per day?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A 1-year-old should eat one whole egg (white and yolk together) per day — that's a safe and sufficient amount. Eggs are packed with high-quality protein, iron, zinc, B12, and choline, which support brain development.

If your baby hasn't shown allergy signs (hives, rash, trouble breathing), you can offer an egg daily. But you don't need to meet all your baby's daily protein from eggs; 3–4 whole eggs a week also provides good balance. More than one egg daily isn't necessary and might squeeze out other food groups (grains, vegetables, fruit, dairy).

Cooking tip: Always serve fully cooked eggs (firm white, solid yolk). Runny or soft yolks carry risk. If your baby has allergy symptoms or digestion troubles, check with your pediatrician.
