why can on year olds only have 3 eggs a week?
my 13 month old’s pediatrician gave us a handout about food guidelines, and it said only 3 eggs a week. it didn’t say why, and i forgot to ask. my baby LOVES eggs, and my mom raises free-range chickens on her all-organic plot of land. so we’ve got tons of them (and their nicer eggs than in the stores, the yolks are rich orange & twice as big!)
so why the 3 egg a week limit for one year olds?
oops! the title should read “Why can one year olds only have 3 eggs a week?”
It is the egg whites that are a common allergenic food. The younger that you expose your chid to (possibly) allergenic foods, the higher the chance is that they will develop an allergy to that food. My daughter’s doctor said only to give yolks when my daughter was under 18 months, because I have a high frequency of childhood allergies in my family. But the cholesterol in the yolks are GOOD for babies developing brain.
