I've been giving them right off the bat at around 6 1/2 months.Googling now....
...This is the parenting magazine article on it.
https://www.parenting.com/article/Baby/Feeding/Are-Eggs-Healthy-For-Babies
And every other site I read said to be careful if food allergies run in your family. And just to keep an eye on them. But Emma has never had any sort of reaction so I think we're good.
We don't have any allergies to eggs in the family on my side but not too sure about Mark's... so maybe we will hold off on the eggs until I know for sure.
hahahahaha! Mum2J&Kx2 for Mom to Jacob, Kaleb and Kayleigh hehe and thanks!
lol I was told by my doctor only yolks until 12 months... something about allergiesWhen did you start giving her eggs?

We gave William well done scrambled egg when he was about 7 months old and he had a severe allergic reaction, so no egg for him! He had a skin prick test to confirm it a few weeks later, but was clear that he was allergic. Within less than 3 minutes of having the egg he was rubbing his face, his eyes and lips started to swell and his face when puffy and blotchy and so did his hands. Took around 40 minutes for him to return to normal. He'll be re-tested when he's 2 and there's a 50/50 chance he'll have out-grown it, really hope so!
Well, tomorrow is our 12 month milestone as its Williams birthday! Not one drop of formulaYay us!
And tonight we're trying some sleep training with him, his sleep has been getting worse and worse last few weeks, only settling with a feed. I've tried to make them shorter and shorter but its not working and last week I had 3 nights with less than 5 hours sleep as he was up so muchNot good for me or him!
So we're going to do the gradual withdrawl.....will go into him but not pick him up unless he's really distressed (so he can complain but not feel we're deserting him I hope as will stay in the room with him). If we have to pick him up it'll only be until he's calmer. Dreading it but something needs to be done as we both need more!!!!
Wish me luck!
Thanks!! Good luck with the sleep training and BIG congragts making it to 12 months!
I reallydon't think I'm going to try eggs at all until 12 months now.. your poor LO I don't blame you at all! With a history of allergies or food intolerances (sp?) I wouldn't either!
I'm feeling a bit better thanks.
re: eggs- Harry's only ever had well cooked scrambled eggs at around 8 months old & he was fine. I'm holding off on certain things like nuts (we have a few nut allergies in our families) & pineapple (it makes me toungue swell up & my mouth gets covered in ulcers) but I'm cool to try him with everything else
Candyfloss- congrats on the 12 month milestone- that's awesome.
Harry cut his first tooth last night
Ouch! Let's hope not lol... That part scares me a little lol...
I guess pineapple isn't the best with allergy history.
Hi Hi!!
I had a miscarriage which made me depressed and I gained the start of it. Than I got pregnant with Emma and gained 45 more. I haven't lost any of the pregnancy weight. It's still all right there in my belly area. 
Which isn't really the point of this post but I'm letting it get away from me. Basically SIL is a stupid bitch and I should've known she wouldnt' breastfeed either because she's so freaking selfish that she couldn't even eat throughout pregnancy. THe baby ended up being born at 5 pounds and had a vitamin deficiency. She gained 7 lbs over the whole pregnancy. Fine. I'm supposed to just sit there and be quiet through all of that. So than with the breastfeeding. She was in the hospital and tried to feed maybe 3 times and gave up. She took a sleeping pill to get some sleep and let the nurse take her baby for the night. I live far away but I was around for the first week of the LO's life. SIL did nothing. My brother changed all the diapers. He got up at night. He fed her. He did it all. He'd call me months later and tell me about getting up here and there at night. He is the one that works full shift too. She only works occasionally. But yet it's still my brother waking up for the feeds. I don't know why I keep letting this get away from me but she just posted a picture on facebook of my little niece eating a bottle of formula that is propped up while she's sitting in her carseat. The caption is 'my big girl can hold her own bottle but she needs a little help'. WTF?! You can't hold your own daughter and feed her? Why the complete laziness? Why the lack of affection towards her? I just don't understand it. I'm so furious about it. My parents are currently visiting me for Emma's birthday and I voiced my anger but they just looked at me like I'm crazy. They formula fed as well. Am I wrong in thinking that whether you breastfeed or formula feed, you should still have that closeness and hold your baby to feed them? I don't get it! BFing is the best bonding experience I've ever had in my life. It's amazing. For someone to look down on that pisses me off enough. But for someone to think their daughter is a 'big girl' because she can eat by herself with a propped up bottle just pisses me right off! Sorry this kind of rambled on. I might be out of order here but I can't help how I feel about the situation. I just wish I could say something.
We're actively TTC now so it's on my mind a lot these days.
Happy first birthday Emma! Alyssa sends you a big kiss
