Chicken eggs are a very healthy product. They include phosphorus, potassium, iron, vitamins, calcium, folic acid, copper, etc. Therefore, it is very important to know when and in what quantities it is necessary to introduce the yolk into the child's diet.
Instructions
Step 1
Since chicken yolk is 23% saturated fat, which creates an increased load on the child's body, pediatricians do not recommend giving it to babies under seven months of age. In addition, if you start to introduce it too early, this can provoke the occurrence of allergic reactions in the child due to the high activity of this product.
Step 2
Cook a hard-boiled chicken egg. Separate the white from the yolk, grind the last into a gruel and mix with a small amount of breast milk or formula.
Step 3
Give the baby ¼ teaspoon of the yolk, then carefully monitor the child's reaction to the new product and only after a day give the same amount.
Step 4
Gradually bring the daily dose to half the yolk. When the child reaches the age of one, you can give him a whole chicken yolk each.
Step 5
You do not need to feed your baby with this product every day. It will be enough 2-3 times a week. In addition, you can add the yolk to other baby foods: vegetable or fruit puree, porridge, etc.
Step 6
Do not give egg white to a baby under one year old. It is a very strong allergen, poorly absorbed by the body and contains fewer useful components.
Step 7
If, after the introduction of the yolk into the diet, the child develops an allergy, exclude this product for at least 1, 5-2 years. Then try entering it again.
Step 8
If possible, start the introduction with the yolk of quail eggs. Do not change the principle, despite the fact that the eggs are very small.
Step 9
Do not give raw eggs to a child under one year old, the only exception is if they are necessary for the treatment of a disease.
Step 10
Before introducing chicken yolk into the child's diet, be sure to consult with a specialist. It is very important to take into account the individual characteristics of the child: weight, height, appetite, etc.
