Question
What should I do if my child vomits after eating egg yolk?
Answer
Many mothers include egg yolk as a supplementary food for their babies. However, some children may experience vomiting after consuming it. This situation is similar to why some children may vomit after drinking formula milk. It is likely that the child lacks the enzymes necessary to digest the egg yolk, leading to an inability to process it and resulting in vomiting. In such cases, parents should cease feeding their child egg yolk. There are many other suitable supplementary foods for children, such as fruits, vegetable juices, and porridge made from millet, which are all good options. Parents can also scramble the entire egg and then steam it into an egg custard to feed their child. Some children may not vomit after consuming the egg yolk in this manner.
