But parents have many misunderstandings about how to eat eggs.
Although eggs are small, there are many ways to make them. Steaming, boiling, frying and frying can all make different flavors.
Mothers should pay attention to that improper cooking of eggs will affect the digestion, absorption and utilization of nutrients. Even the boiled eggs with the highest nutritional value will lead to excessive solidification of protein and affect its nutritional value.
So mothers should pay attention to the time when cooking eggs.
If you want to fry eggs, frying them for too long and cooking them for too long will make the eggs too "old", which will not only affect the taste, but also affect the digestion.
Whether it's boiled eggs, fried eggs, custard or scrambled eggs, they are very nutritious. For babies, the loss of nutrients in eggs caused by different cooking methods is only relative.
For babies who have just added complementary food, custard is undoubtedly the most suitable. But if the baby is tired of eating, the mother can naturally change other cooking methods to ensure the completion of the small goal of one egg a day.
For eggs, it is recommended to be 7-8M. Every child is different. If the child has no problem eating rice noodles and mashed vegetables, he can start with a quarter of the yolk and slowly transition to the whole egg.
It should be noted that many babies are allergic to protein in egg white, causing allergic diseases, such as eczema or diarrhea on the skin, so mothers must pay attention. The first time you eat an egg, you can observe it for 3 days.
Although eggs are called "ideal nutrition banks", you can't eat too much. The best time is in the morning, when protein, which is rich in eggs, opens up the nutritional vitality of the whole day.
So how much is appropriate? Everyone's digestion and absorption are different, otherwise there will be no difference between fat and thin. For the elderly and children with weak digestive function, one egg a day is enough, but more will increase the burden on the body.
Eggs are nutritious, diverse and affordable, and are one of the essential foods on many family tables.
Many mothers like to give their babies eggs, so the question is, what are the benefits for babies to eat eggs? When is it better for the baby to eat eggs? How to give your baby eggs correctly?
1. Eggs can improve intelligence and brain.
Eggs are the "star" brain food for dogs. Eggs contain dha and ara, which are polyunsaturated fatty acids and play an important role in brain development.
Dha is the main component of human retina and brain, in which dha accounts for 20% of brain phospholipid tissue, and the content of d ha in retina is as high as 50%. It can be seen that dha plays a very important role in the development of brain and vision, and is an indispensable nutrient for the development of baby's brain and retina.
Ara, like dha, is closely related to the brain, which can improve learning and cognitive ability, and is an essential nutrient for baby's physical development and brain development.
Eggs are the source of high-quality protein.
Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein. An egg weighs about 50g, contains 6-7g of protein and 5-6g of fat. The amino acid ratio of egg protein is very suitable for human physiological needs, easy to be absorbed by the human body, with a utilization rate of over 98% and high nutritional value, which is very suitable for babies to eat.
3. Eggs can meet the different nutritional needs of the baby's growth and development.
Egg yolk is rich in lecithin, sterol, egg yolk, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin B besides protein. These ingredients can meet the baby's growth and development needs.
Eggs made into paste are nutritious and easy for babies to swallow, so many parents want to give them eggs as the first complementary food, which is wrong. Eggs are not suitable as the baby's first complementary food.
When the baby starts eating eggs varies from person to person. If the baby is well developed and healthy, you can start adding egg yolk around 6-7 months, not too early. Although the 4-month-old baby can secrete a certain amount of amylase, it is starch that can be digested and absorbed, that is, rice flour complementary food. Adding egg yolk too early will put a burden on the baby's stomach.
1. 1 Babies under the age of 0 are not suitable for eating whole eggs.
Eggs contain an ingredient called "ovomucin-like protein", which is easy to cause baby allergies. It mainly exists in egg white. Therefore, babies under 1 year-old should not eat protein, but only eat egg yolk to prevent the baby from being allergic. You can eat whole eggs over one year old.
2. Gradually add egg yolk from less to more.
When you add egg yolk to your baby for the first time, you can add 1/8 egg yolk, and there is no adverse reaction. After the transition to 1/4 yolk, it will gradually increase to the whole egg.
Practice: crush the egg yolk with a spoon, add appropriate amount of warm water and stir it into a thin paste.
3. Don't put egg yolk in the formula for your baby.
However, Huang Can did not put it into infant formula. Many mothers have the habit of dissolving egg yolk in formula milk to feed their babies, which is not conducive to the body's absorption of iron in egg yolk, but will destroy the scientific proportion of various nutrients in milk.
1, don't eat eggs when the baby starts to add complementary food from 4 to 6 months, because eggs can't supplement iron, and another reason is that eggs are allergic.
2. Adding complementary food to the baby is mainly to supplement iron. China Nutrition Society recommends that the baby eat fortified iron rice noodles first, and then I recommend that you add liver mud and meat mud after the baby eats rice noodles for 2 weeks. Because the iron in rice flour belongs to non-blood iron, the absorption effect is not as good as that of animal liver mud and animal blood products.
3, the baby eats egg yolk, which can be postponed until the baby is about 8 months. The main nutrition of egg yolk is lecithin, which can be converted into part of DHA after absorption, but the conversion rate is very low; In addition, although egg yolk contains iron, the absorption rate of iron is too poor.
Therefore, in order not to delay the baby's iron supplement, the baby should not eat eggs for the first time. The time to really give the baby eggs is like this: give the baby egg yolk in 8 months, and eat steamed whole eggs in 10 months.
1, eat the yolk first: don't use the egg white separator, it won't be clean. It is recommended to cook the eggs, shell them, mash the yolk into a paste, add appropriate amount of warm water to make it into a paste, and then the baby can eat it.
2. Give the baby egg yolk 1/5 first, and then eat 1/4, 1/3, so add a lot slowly and dilute it first, which is too thick for the baby to swallow.
3. Eggs are the first in the list of allergic foods for infants, but infants are less allergic to yolk, mainly to protein or egg white, so the time to eat whole eggs should wait until the baby 10 month.
4. Give the baby a whole egg, which can be directly steamed into steamed eggs. Observe a small amount first, and then add it slowly if the baby is not allergic. Time, try to feed in the morning, once the baby is allergic, you can go to the hospital immediately; Don't feed it in the afternoon and at night!
5. On the premise of confirming that the baby is not allergic to protein, in order to improve the baby's taste, you can add some fruit when steaming the eggs.
6. The baby's staple food is milk within 1 year. Don't choose to give your baby eggs in the morning and evening. Feed the baby in the morning and evening, and eat eggs at noon, so that the baby's activities are conducive to digestion.
I believe everyone knows the nutritional value of eggs. Researchers at the University of Washington in the United States pointed out that babies will consume more nutrients when they eat eggs, which will help them grow up healthily. Although eggs are as good as anything, they are very special to babies. Mom should pay attention, and pay attention to avoid the following misunderstandings when eating eggs for the baby.
Nutrition experts believe that egg yolk is one of the foods that cause food allergies in infants. Egg yolk should not be included in the complementary food added at 6 months, but should be added at 7-9 months, and gradually added from 1/4 to 1 every day.
When adding egg yolk for the first time, it is necessary to observe whether the baby's skin has allergic phenomena such as rash, urticaria and vomiting after eating, because the infant's immunity is weak and allergic reactions may occur to new varieties of food.
This is because the baby's digestive system has not been fully developed, and the intestinal wall is very thin and highly permeable. However, protein in egg white is a small molecular albumin, which can directly enter the baby's blood through the intestinal wall, easily causing a series of allergic reactions or pathological reactive diseases such as eczema, urticaria and asthmatic bronchitis.
Many parents think that eggs are nutritious, and the more children eat, the better. Actually, it is not. Because babies have poor digestive ability, if they eat a lot of eggs, it will not only cause indigestion, but also because egg protein contains an avidin, which will prevent absorption after binding with biotin in the intestine, leading to vitamin deficiency in babies and affecting their health.
Eggs are very nutritious, especially after the baby can add complementary food, it is necessary to give the baby eggs. However, some babies may be allergic. For safety reasons, pay attention to the following items when adding eggs to your baby:
Babies of four to six months can add complementary food appropriately, and egg yolk is also a good choice. The method of adding egg yolk is to take a quarter of the egg yolk of the boiled egg cooked that day, grind it into mud with a clean spoon, and add it to rice flour or porridge for the baby to eat, and observe whether the baby has rash, vomiting or diarrhea. If everything is normal the next day, then you can add whole egg yolk to your baby or even slowly transition to whole egg.
If the baby is sick, such as fever, cold and diarrhea, parents should forbid to give the baby eggs, because eating eggs will aggravate the illness and slow down the baby's recovery.
Some people think that raw eggs are very nutritious and will give their babies half-cooked eggs or even whole eggs. This is not right. Because undercooked eggs contain salmonella, it may lead to baby's fever or abdominal pain and diarrhea, which may be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, the eggs that the baby eats must be cooked.
Some places like to give children hairy eggs, thinking that hairy eggs are nutritious and can promote children's development. However, it has been proved that hairy eggs contain hormones such as estrogen, and children often eat hairy eggs, which may lead to precocious puberty and bring a huge blow to children's mind and height. So parents should try not to give their children hairy eggs.
Therefore, although eggs are very nutritious, parents should give their babies eggs rationally and correctly in order to achieve the purpose of supplementing nutrition.
Baby egg allergy is common, but most babies are only allergic to protein, but they can tolerate egg yolk completely. Therefore, in the initial stage of complementary food addition, only the baby can eat egg yolk. When adding egg yolk, you can try a small amount first, for example, from 1/4, and if the baby is well tolerated, you can gradually increase it to one every day. When the baby is about 8 months old, you can try to give the baby protein. If there is no allergy, you can give your baby a richer egg supplement such as egg soup.
Method for making yolk mud
1. Wash and cook the eggs, pay attention to the heat, not too hard or too raw.
2. Peel the eggshell clean and be careful not to leave any debris.
3. Take out the yolk. 1/4, and then gradually increase.
4. Carefully crush the yolk with a spoon and grind it into powder.
5. Add a small amount of warm water or milk to the egg yolk.
6. Stir the egg yolk and water evenly, which can be diluted first and then thickened.
Can egg yolk be mixed with rice flour and formula milk powder?
This is not recommended. Because there is a fixed ratio between rice flour and formula milk powder, if egg yolk is mixed with these foods, it will destroy the original ratio and make the baby's intake of nutrients unbalanced. For example, it may cause excessive intake of certain elements and increase the burden on the baby's kidneys.
Eggs are the source of high-quality protein, and the protein content is about 13%, which is rich in vitamins and complete in variety. At the same time, it contains minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc and selenium.
After adding complementary food, you can gradually increase your intake until you eat a whole egg every day. If the yolk is not allergic, you can try the whole egg.
Eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, pigeon eggs and so on. They are all kinds of eggs that can be used. Their nutritional value is roughly the same, and they can be eaten or not.
White eggs, yellow eggs, native eggs and foreign eggs have similar nutritional values.

Scrambled eggs with onion and mushroom:
Cut onion into powder and mushroom into powder; Beat the eggs into a bowl and break them up, then add chopped onion and mushrooms; When the pan is hot, pour in the oil, add the egg liquid and stir-fry until cooked.
Speaking of eggs, my Dabao is really unhappy without eggs. He likes to eat all kinds of eggs. If there are eggs on the table, he will have a great appetite. Even if I cook eggs every day and have eggs at every meal, he acts like he hasn't eaten eggs for a long time. So for eggs, my old mother is really considerate.
One: About nutrition:
1: protein has the most single nutrition, all from protein, and the protein of an egg is about 4g.
2. Egg yolk contains eight essential amino acids, vitamin A and vitamin D, and is rich in minerals such as iron, phosphorus, sulfur and calcium.
Two: What kind of eggs are fresher?
1: Look at the eggshell. Eggshells are rougher and fresher.
2. Put the eggs in a glass full of water and prepare a glass of water. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom of the water, and slightly stale eggs will float up.
Three: When will it be added?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends adding egg yolk after one year old. The guidelines for adding complementary food in the early stage suggest adding egg yolk after eight months and eating whole eggs after one year old. The latest guide doesn't say when to add it, saying that it can be added as long as the baby is not allergic after six months.
However, my daughter added egg yolk for eight months, and now 1 1 month, she occasionally starts to eat whole eggs.
The most important thing is to see if the baby is allergic. For adding protein, it depends on whether the baby can digest and absorb it. If these two points are all right, you can eat the whole egg.
Four: How to eat?
It can be boiled in water or steamed in egg soup. You can fry eggs. Scrambled eggs. But babies should not eat marinated eggs or tea eggs. Because these eggs have too much seasoning.
The point is that no matter what kind of eggs, they must be cooked well.
Five: Egg yolk is not suitable as the baby's first complementary food.
The first formal complementary food should be baby rice noodles. Moreover, it is iron-fortified rice flour, which is not easy to cause allergies and is the baby's first choice for complementary food.
How much do you eat every day?
You don't have to eat it every day. If you must eat, it's good to eat no more than two eggs a day.
Generally, you can add complementary food to your baby in about six months. We usually go to the maternal and infant store to buy baby rice noodles, which are easy to digest and absorb. You can also make your own complementary food, paste vegetables and other ingredients with a cooking machine and feed them to your children. At first, we should start from less to more, and then eat normally after seeing that the child has no discomfort.
Many expectant mothers care about whether the baby can eat eggs and how to make them for the baby. Eggs are nutritious and can be eaten by babies. In order to prevent allergies, doctors generally recommend eating egg yolk first and adding it slowly. If the baby has no allergies or other discomfort, you can add it slowly.
At the beginning, when adding it to the baby, we suggested cooking it for the baby and adding the egg yolk directly to the complementary food. You can also stew egg soup for your baby, which is soft and smooth and very suitable for your baby. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
Eggs are a good food, rich in nutrients, protein and amino acids, and easily absorbed by the baby's stomach, so many parents don't like to supplement their children with eggs. But what should we pay attention to when feeding eggs to children?
Because the baby is still young and the digestive system is not fully developed, giving the baby eggs too early will not only cause indigestion, but may even make the baby allergic to it. It not only wastes the nutrition of eggs, but also is not conducive to the healthy growth of babies.
I believe many parents think that sugar-coated eggs are tender and slightly sweet, which will be good for children to eat. Actually, it is not. This is not safe, because raw eggs may contain bacteria, while half-cooked eggs are half-cooked, so the bacteria may not be completely killed, which may bring discomfort to the baby.
Some parents are used to steaming an egg custard for their baby when they get up in the morning, which is very good, but they can't just give their children egg custard or add milk. A really good breakfast should include grains, milk, fruits and vegetables. Therefore, even if you make custard for your baby, you should pay attention to the reasonable collocation with other ingredients.
