Question
After four months, the iron that babies inherit from their mothers is basically depleted, and the iron content in breast milk is not very high either. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to supplement with egg yolks, as they are rich in iron.
Answer
Babies over four months old should supplement iron, and egg yolks are a great source of iron. However, since the baby’s digestive system is not fully developed, the egg white may cause indigestion and allergic reactions, so it is recommended to only give them egg yolks. In addition, egg yolks are also rich in other nutrients such as protein, lecithin, and various vitamins, which are beneficial for the healthy growth of babies.
