What situations are unsuitable for babies to eat eggs?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Infants under six months should not eat egg whites. This is because their digestive systems are not yet fully developed, and their intestinal permeability is relatively high. The albumin molecules in egg whites are small and can sometimes pass directly through the intestinal wall into the infant's bloodstream, causing allergic reactions to these protein molecules in the infant's body, leading to conditions such as eczema and hives.
