Precautions for babies to eat eggs

Eggs are very common, so you can rest assured when choosing them. Eggs contain many nutrients, and eating them regularly is very helpful to the body in all aspects. However, you must pay attention to eating eggs in moderation. Eating too many eggs can cause high cholesterol in the body, which can have some effects on the body. So what are the precautions for babies to eat eggs? The following is a detailed introduction.

Precautions for babies to eat eggs:

First, you must never feed raw eggs, because raw eggs have a tight structure and contain substances that resist digestive tract protein acids, making the protein difficult to digest and absorb. Only after eggs are cooked, the protein structure becomes loose, the anti-digestive protein acid contained in them can be destroyed, and they can be easily digested and absorbed by the human body.

Second, the egg yolk can be fed to the baby after the sixth month, and the baby should be observed for any allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria, vomiting, etc. after eating. This is because infants and young children have weaker immunity and may have allergic reactions to new types of food. As for egg white, it should not be fed to the child until he is one year old, because infants and young children are more likely to have allergic reactions to egg white.

Is it better for infants and young children to eat more eggs?

At present, many parents are afraid that their children will lack nutrition, so they feed their children many eggs a day, and even feed their children two eggs a day when the children are 6 months old. In fact, eating too many eggs will bring adverse consequences to children.

Some nutrition experts believe that it is best for babies between one and one and a half years old to eat only egg yolks, and no more than one egg a day; between one and a half and two years old, they can eat one egg every four days; only when they are a little older can they eat one egg a day. In this way, the nutritional needs of infants and young children can be met, and the health effects caused by excessive consumption can be avoided, mainly affecting the development of the kidneys. It should be noted that if egg white-shaped substances are found in the baby's feces, it means that the child has not digested and absorbed the protein. At this time, the egg yolk should be mixed with other foods (such as Jianer powder, cake powder, rice flour) and fed together.

After understanding the precautions for babies to eat eggs, parents should pay attention to these aspects when babies eat eggs. Also, it should be noted that when babies are eating eggs, parents should let the baby eat slowly and not give the baby too much at one time. This will not affect the baby's body's absorption of nutrients. This should be noted.
