oh dear im a silly mummy - eggs...
« on: January 10, 2010, 22:23:37 pm »
oh dear how stupid could I have been...

Ive been giving my LO (now 11 months) eggs for about 2 months now - scrambled and not just yolk! all of the egg...

im so shocked that I didnt even pick up on the fact I shouldnt give her it...she is even allergic to milk/soy so I should have known better...

does this mean I could have caused her to develop asthma etc... she doesnt have any reaction that I know of but she has this awful cold which she has had for over 2 wks now and she cannot shake the cough...

I feel absolutely awful...

Well, if you've been feeding them to her for two months and she is fine, then all is probably good. Never heard of eggs in relation to asthma though, not that anything isn't possible, but truly I wouldn't worry  :-*

In the weaning book i got from the HV it says you can give eggs (both white and yolk) as long as they are totally cooked. 

Has your LO an egg allergy?  Or are you just concerned because of her other allergies?

Here's a link that tells you more about it:

Eggs are a very healthy food for babies - yes - it's recommended that you start with only the yolk as the whites could cause an allergic reaction, but your lo seems to tolerate them fine, so I wouldn't worry too much!  If it makes you feel better, just go back to offering only the cooked yolk for a while:)

But good for you for offering a healthy food for your babe.
