Can a nine-month-old baby eat boiled eggs?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. May I ask if a nine-month-old baby can eat boiled eggs?

Doctor's answer:

The amount of eggs the baby eats should start from a small quantity and gradually increase, beginning with 1/4 of a serving. If there are no allergic reactions, you can slowly increase the amount. However, generally speaking, it is better to eat steamed eggs. When steaming eggs, they should not be overcooked. After they are cooked, you can add a little sesame oil and use less salt.
Since the child's picky eating and poor appetite are caused by zinc deficiency, it is important to pay attention to supplementing zinc for the child. Encourage the child to eat more zinc-rich foods, such as egg yolks, fish, and seafood, which are rich in zinc. You can also give the child chewable zinc and selenium tablets.
