Eggs can generally be given from 6. month onward when complementary foods are started. Start with just the well-cooked yolk only, since the white is considered more allergenic and, if there's no family history of allergies, can be tried after 8. months. Begin with a small amount of yolk on the first day — about a teaspoon — and gradually increase based on your baby's reaction to eventually include the whole egg. The yolk should be cooked solid (apricot consistency), never runny. If you see signs of allergy such as rash, vomiting, or diarrhea, contact your doctor. From a cultural perspective, saying a blessing before eating eggs is a beautiful tradition, as eggs are a gift that calls for gratitude.
