Egg Yolk for Baby

Cooked Egg Yolk

Feeding your baby eggs may not be a food that you think of when it comes to introducing solids to your baby. Eggs are on the first year no-no list. This is true for the egg whites; egg yolks are fine for baby to eat before the 1-year mark. Egg yolk provides complex animal proteins and minerals that are essential to the growth of your little one. Just proceed with caution as you would any other new food your introducing to baby. I always have some Benadryl in my cupboard just in case.

Here is the recipe for this nutrient packed food:

Ingredients:

1. 1 organic free range egg  (When buying eggs please try to buy organic. Regular eggs come from chickens who are fed genetically modified corn. The GMOs can pass into the egg then into your baby)
2. 1 pot of boiling water

Directions:

1. Boil a pot of water
2. Place the egg into the boiling water
3. Boil the egg for 6-7 minutes (The yolk should be soft and warm, not runny or dried and chalky)
4. Run the egg under cold water and begin peeling the shell off
5. Now separate the egg yolk from the egg white (Be careful during this process, you do not want to contaminate the yolk with the white. I just poked the egg with a sharp knife and drained the yolk out)
6. Enjoy by spoonful or mix in with another food
