Question
Can a nine-month-old baby eat boiled eggs?
Answer
The amount of eggs for a nine-month-old baby should be gradually increased from a small quantity, starting with a quarter of an egg, and can be increased gradually if there are no allergic reactions. Generally, steamed eggs may be more suitable for babies, and they should not be overcooked. A little sesame oil and a pinch of salt can be added after steaming. Picky eating and lack of appetite in babies may be due to zinc deficiency. It is recommended to supplement zinc-rich foods such as egg yolks and seafood, and consider giving the baby health supplements containing zinc and selenium.
