For a 9-month-old, eggs are a safe and nutritious option. Current pediatric guidelines recommend introducing eggs starting at 6 months (when solids begin) to help reduce allergy risk—so 9 months is absolutely the right time.
When trying eggs for the first time, pay attention to:
- Cook eggs thoroughly (yolk and white completely firm); avoid raw or undercooked eggs.
- Start with a small amount (for example, a quarter teaspoon of finely mashed egg yolk).
- Offer it during the day when you can watch for allergic signs (rash, lip swelling, trouble breathing).
- If there's no reaction, you can gradually increase the amount; offer in omelets, mixed into vegetables, or as puree.
If there's a family history of egg allergy or you see any reaction at first try, check with your pediatrician.
