Question

Can a 9-Month-Old Baby Eat Egg Whites?

Answer

Babies can begin introducing complementary foods such as congee and rice noodles around 5 to 6 months old. By the time they reach 8 to 9 months, they can try eating minced meat, chopped egg yolks, and egg whites. However, it’s important to ensure that the size of the food is appropriate to avoid the risk of choking, particularly with the egg yolks. It’s also worth noting that while egg yolks are nutritious, they are not the part of the egg with the highest protein content.
