OK, last one - I promise!!!

I have given Ella scrambled eggs, and she liked them. I've now read that you shouldn't give egg whites until lo is 8 months old... Is this right?

Sadly, the HV round here are bl**dy useless and don't give you any info about weaning at all. I thought that eggs were OK as long as they were cooked thoroughly and hard boiled if giving boiled eggs. Is that not right?

i agree with what you say d.

aslong as there cooked right the way through then i think there fine, i've yet to try leo with eggs tho i'd say about 6 months but i know that a few mm's give there lo's eggs now.

i think there was a thread started about eggs and people were saying to wait a little longer i think pauline started it. i'll try and find it and bump for you.x
