Egg: How to Introduce Your Baby to this ...

KATIE FERRARO
About this episode

#447: What if your baby is allergic to eggs? The only way to know if your baby has an egg allergy is to offer them egg. In this episode I’ll share some easy ways to make eggs safe for babies so your baby can start learning how to safely eat eggs.


Listen to this episode to learn:

  1. Which part of the egg contains the potentially allergenic protein: the egg white or the egg yolk?
  2. How to safely prepare eggs so your baby can pick them up and self-feed
  3. Why an egg ladder can help reintroduce eggs if your baby previously reacted to egg
