As a child I had a severe allergic reaction to anything that had eggs in it (to the point it would swell my throat shut if I came in contact with them). I have since grown out of my allergy (well for the most part), but am scared to death to give my 9 month old daughter anything with eggs in it. I am becoming more aware of this since she is beginning to eat table food and I'm trying to be very careful. I have heard from other people to not give her anything with eggs in it until she's two years old but the pediatrician just tells me to try it and see what happens. I am scared to just "try it" because if she has a reaction anything similar to what my reaction was she could end up in the hospital! He claims that allergies such as that aren't always hereditary and she may not even have the allergy (especially since my husband has no allergies).....any thoughts on how to handle this?
