Does a 6-month-old baby eat eggs?
⚡ Short answer: A 6-month-old can have well-cooked eggs, starting with the yolk in small amounts — introduce just the yolk first, try it for 3–4 days to watch for allergies, and test early in the day.

For a 6-month-old, eggs are a nutritious choice to consider. Current medical thinking supports introducing eggs (especially the yolk) around 6 months in small amounts, well-cooked, to help reduce allergy risk. The yolk is tried first since the white is more allergenic.
Start with just a quarter teaspoon, and give the same tiny amount for 3–4 days while watching for allergic signs (rash, breathing trouble, swelling). Pick the morning for the first try so you'll notice any reaction during the day. If all goes well, you can gradually increase over time. If any allergic sign appears, stop and see your doctor. Following this "single food" approach — one new food at a time, waiting between tries — helps you spot what your baby's body can handle.
