#49: Introducing eggs early and often is key to helping prevent egg allergy…but, figuring out how to safely offer those eggs to your baby can be tricky. In this episode, I’m breaking down 7 easy ways to safely offer eggs using the baby-led weaning approach. From quick prep methods to texture tips that support self-feeding, you’ll walk away with practical ideas you can put to use in your own kitchen starting this week.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. Why eggs are one of the easiest allergenic foods to offer to your baby...and why we no longer wait on feeding babies egg white until after age 1

2. 7 different ways that babies can safely eat eggs - and why scrambled eggs aren’t the best bet for early eaters

3. A vegan substitute for eggs if you don’t eat eggs because of egg allergy or because your family does not eat animal products
