Eggs are a nutritious food, but adding them is not an easy task because they are also one of the foods that can easily cause allergies in babies, so parents should first have a lesson on how to add eggs to their supplement. When to add egg yolk? Usually babies start adding complementary foods at 6 months of age. If rice flour has been added for a while, you can add egg yolk at 7 or 8 months. When to add egg whites? It is safer to eat after the age of 1 year. Because the egg white molecules in eggs are relatively small, and babies’ gastrointestinal mucosal barrier function is not well developed, this protein can easily enter the bloodstream directly through the thin intestinal mucosa, leading to eczema, hives and other allergic reactions in babies. After the baby is one year old, the barrier function of the gastrointestinal mucosa is gradually improved, and the chances of allergies caused by foreign proteins are greatly reduced, so you can try to add them to your baby. There are various ways to eat eggs, in terms of absorption and digestion rate for adults, boiled eggs are 100%, scrambled eggs are 97%, tender fried eggs are 98%, old fried eggs are 81.1%, boiled water and milk are 92.5%, and raw eggs are 30% to 50%. Thus, for adults, boiled eggs are the best way to eat. For children, steamed egg custard, egg soup and scrambled eggs are very suitable for babies, because these practices make the protein texture tender and do not require chewing, which is very easy for babies to digest and absorb. Can egg yolk be mixed with formula? Egg yolks should be spoon fed and not put in a bottle. Sucking milk and eating complementary foods are two different ways of swallowing. Your baby should learn to practice swallowing by eating paste-like foods after adding complementary foods. Babies have to learn to use their tongues to get the food to the pharynx and then swallow it. How much is the right amount for my baby to eat each day? You can start with a thumbnail-sized amount when adding egg yolk to your baby’s diet, and then gradually increase it to make sure you are not allergic. After all, babies are not yet well developed and their digestive organs are not particularly strong, so if they consume too much protein, their delicate intestines will be stressed, which may cause absorption dysfunction and indigestion. Are fried eggs not suitable for babies? Fried eggs are not suitable for babies. When frying or deep-frying eggs, the eggs are covered with oil and the high temperature oil can scorch some of the proteins, damaging the lysine and other amino acids and causing them to lose their nutritional value, and they are not easily contacted by digestive juices in the mouth and stomach after consumption, which can affect digestion. What is the nutrition of eggs? Eggs contain a lot of high-quality protein that is easily digested and absorbed, which is essential for the development of the baby’s body, and the egg yolk is rich in cholesterol, which is good for the baby’s brain development, and the riboflavin and a lot of trace elements contained in eggs are good for the baby’s physical development. The following egg-based complementary food moms can try for their babies: egg custard Ingredients: eggs Method 1, knock an egg yolk into a bowl, not the egg white. 2, add a little cool boiling water, beat the eggs, the longer the better, beat a little, then add a little cool boiling water and then beat, you can not add enough water at once, so that the mix will be even. The total ratio of water to egg yolk is 1:1. 3, after mixing evenly, take the strainer back and forth 3 times to filter out the air bubbles. (This step is very important, filter bubbles, egg custard out of the pot will not look like a hornet’s nest!) 4, after filtering, add water to the pot and fire, and when the water is slightly boiling, put the porcelain bowl with eggs on the grate and steam for 8 minutes. Vegetable egg pancakes Ingredients: eggs, carrots, spinach Method 1, carrots cut into thin strips, spinach water boiling pot blanching. 2.Chop the blanched carrot and spinach and pour into a large bowl. 3.In a bowl, beat 1-2 eggs (only egg yolks are recommended for babies under one year old), add the right amount of flour and mix well. 4.Grease the pan, pour the egg and vegetable batter into the pan, let the batter flow and lay flat, fry on low heat until both sides are cooked, remove from the pan.
