Since eggs are a common allergen in babies, starting with a small amount when trying for the first time is the right approach. The general pediatric view recommends less than a teaspoon for the first trial — about the size of a grain of rice — of well-cooked egg yolk. Try the white separately; because most allergen proteins are in the white. Wait 15-30 minutes after the first trial, observing for any redness, vomiting, or fussiness. If no reaction, you can gradually increase the next day. Always give egg well-cooked — it should be firm like custard, not runny or raw. If baby is under 6 months, consult your pediatrician first.
