How should a 6-month-old baby egg be cooked?

For a 6-month-old baby, eggs must be prepared carefully and properly due to allergy risk.

Cooking eggs thoroughly is very important — never leave them runny or undercooked. You can prepare hard-boiled eggs for your baby like this:

  • Bring the egg to room temperature and rinse the shell.
  • Boil water in a pot and carefully place the egg in it.
  • Cook in boiling water for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to cold water and peel the shell.
  • Make sure the yolk is completely solidified.

Before serving: start with just the YOLK in a very small amount (tip of a spoon). You can add the white after the 6th month, usually around 7-8 months with doctor approval. Mash the yolk well and soften its consistency with a little breast milk, water, or vegetable puree.

When giving for the first time, try it in the morning alone and wait 3-4 days to observe for possible allergic symptoms (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty). If there's a family history of egg allergy, be sure to consult your pediatrician first.
