Egg whites tend to be an allergenic food so it's suggested you wait until a year for those.  But I think some people will offer scrambled egg before a year, as long as it is cooked well.

You can definitely offer egg yolks, either scrambled or hard boiled.

My DS2 is 9mos and I've offered him a little bit of scrambled egg on a few occasions.

My guys have all had eggs (well cooked) in the early days of weaning so about 7 months or so.  Don't think we're advised not to in England but I could be wrong.

I look at what can they and can't they have abduction think the easiest way to look at it is to follow the pregnancy rules I.e Well cooked and not all the time.

I think if there is no family history of allergies it should be alright...I followed the not til 1 year with DD1 and she had no problems, but then I threw caution to the wind with DD2 and gave her egg yolks at 7 or 8 months, and she turned out to be the allergic one! whoops!
