What signs should I look for when I first give my baby egg to know if there's an allergy?

Egg allergy signs typically appear within minutes to 2 hours after eating egg. The most common ones are:
- Skin: redness or hives around mouth or on body, eczema-like reaction, itchy bumps
- Digestive system: vomiting, diarrhea, belly pain
- Breathing-related: sneezing, runny nose, wheezy breathing, cough
- Rare but serious (anaphylaxis): swelling in lips/tongue/face, difficulty breathing, hoarse voice, feeling faint — this requires emergency medical care.
When giving egg for the first time, start with a tiny amount (just the tip of a teaspoon of well-cooked yolk), increase gradually over the following days, and wait 3-5 days before trying another new food to track your baby's response. If you notice any of these signs, stop egg and contact your pediatrician.
