Could we give eggs to children after 6 months, should we only give egg white?

Yes you can give eggs to children after 6 months of age , eggs are excellent source of protein and numerous vitamins and minerals. When introducing new foods to baby, it’s always a good idea to add them slowly and one at a time, thus it is best to start with small amount and gradually increase the amount with time.

Strictly avoid giving soft boiled or undercooked eggs as they carry disease-causing organisms like Salmonella which may cause food poisoning. Avoid giving egg yolks on their own as they can turn into a choking hazard. Cooked egg yolks can be sticky or even dry, and, in turn, difficult to eat without chewing. Instead, offer some of the yolk together with the white, preferably mashed together or you can just start with egg whites and gradually introduce the yolk.
