Question

Can an 18-month-old child eat two eggs a day?

Answer

For an 8-month-old child, one egg yolk a day is sufficient. Here is a sample daily meal plan: At 7 AM, 200 milliliters of milk; at 9 AM, one steamed egg and 1 to 2 pieces of biscuits; at noon, one bowl of congee (about 30 grams) with minced vegetables and fish; at 3 PM, 150 milliliters of milk; at 5 PM, half to one apple; at 6 PM, one bowl of soft noodles (about 50 grams) with minced meat and vegetables; at 9 PM, 180 milliliters of milk. This is a reference meal plan and may need to be adjusted according to the child’s specific situation.
