While protein is essential for a baby's healthy development, it's often difficult to know what is and isn't safe to give them. Eggs are a protein-rich food that offer numerous benefits! But how can you safely introduce them to your baby? From the start of weaning until your baby is 3 years old, cooked eggs can be offered for health reasons. Of course, they can be prepared as omelets, hard-boiled eggs, and later incorporated into BLW . The key is to consider the appropriate daily portion based on your baby's age. A baby can enjoy a quarter of an egg before their first birthday, half an egg until their second, and a whole egg until their third.
When preparing a meal containing eggs for your baby, it's important to avoid BLW snack recipes that include eggs! Fortunately, this ingredient is easily substituted in other delicious recipes. One egg, for example, is equivalent to 55 grams of applesauce, a mashed banana, or 60 grams of plain yogurt.
