Egg refusal is quite common in 18-month-olds. Usually, the reason is taste, texture, or a phase of stubbornness — not allergy.
Things you can try:
- Offer eggs in different forms: omelets, pancakes with egg, mixed into meatballs, hidden in a crepe or pastry.
- Don't push; if they refuse one meal, don't force it. Try again a few days later.
- Pair it with a sauce or food they love.
Eggs are a good source of protein and iron, but there are alternatives: ground meat, chicken, lentils, cheese, yogurt provide similar nutrients.
If they refuse eggs for several weeks and also reject other protein sources, consult your pediatrician.
