How old can a baby start eating steamed eggs?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me how old the baby needs to be to eat steamed eggs?

Doctor's answer:

Babies can start eating steamed eggs when they are six months old. You can start by giving them half an egg and see how their appetite is. If they do well, you can gradually increase the amount in a few days. However, even if their appetite is good, it is generally recommended to only give them one egg per day. If it's not enough, you can supplement with other mashed foods.
Hello, they cannot eat it.
Eggs are high in protein. Due to reduced secretion of digestive fluids and decreased activity of digestive enzymes, the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the body becomes disrupted. This affects intestinal peristalsis and the natural assimilation of food. The small intestine's ability to reabsorb water and nutrients is impaired, leading to the excretion of large amounts of nutrients through the digestive tract. During this period, not only does it fail to nourish the body, but it can also further worsen the condition. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat eggs during diarrhea. It's better to consume easily digestible foods. Eggs are hard foods, and the child's stomach and intestines are not doing well at this time, so it's best to eat as little as possible.
