Egg Superpowers

● Eggs deliver a protein-packed punch to help your little one grow big and strong.
● A fantastic source of vitamins D, B12 and A, which work together to boost the immune system and promote good vision.
● Rich in magnesium and calcium (which help with bone formation), iron (aiding blood circulation) and zinc (supporting brain development).
● Brain power is boosted by the choline in eggs, helping memory development and cognitive function.

Introducing egg: From scrambled to boiled, omelettes to frittatas, eggs are one of the most versatile foods around.
Find ideas for introducing eggs to each age group below.

Introducing egg at 6-9 months

Start your baby off with egg yolks. The yolk contains essential nutrients and is less likely to cause allergies than egg white.

Add a small amount of mashed cooked egg yolk to baby cereal to offer a creamy, protein-packed start to the day.

Layer mashed hard-boiled egg yolk, yoghurt and mashed fruits to create a colourful, texture-tastic parfait.

Introducing egg at 9-12 months

Add mashed eggs to pancake batter for extra fluffiness and stacks of flavour.

Baby-led weaning eggs: Cut a hard-boiled egg into small, baby-friendly pieces and let your little one feed themselves to practise their fine motor skills.

Spread a thin layer of mashed hard-boiled egg on toast and cut it into fun shapes using a cookie cutter.

Shake things up by blending a hard-boiled egg with fruits and a splash of milk or yoghurt to create a nutritious, tasty egg shake.

Create sensory play with boiled eggs. Let your baby touch, squish and explore the eggs’ smooth surface… they might even enjoy a taste test along the way!

Introducing egg at 12-18 months

Introduce mild seasonings and herbs to enhance the flavour of eggs – try adding a pinch of dill, chives or basil, but avoid salt or strong spices.
Introduce a soft-cooked egg-yolk dip alongside soldiers or veggie sticks. Dip, nibble, repeat!

Prepare egg-based dishes, such as egg sandwiches, quiches and egg muffins.

Using edible markers, draw funny faces on peeled hard-boiled eggs to give your little one a giggle.

Encourage dipping by serving omelette pieces with a yoghurt-based dip or sauce, such as a mild salsa.

Involve your child in the cooking process – they’ll love helping to crack, whisk, stir, pour and cook the eggs they’re about to munch on.

Remember...
Eggs are a common food allergen, so be watchful for any signs of a reaction, such as a rash, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, vomiting or diarrhoea.

Unless using British Lion eggs (which are considered safe), be sure to fully cook both the white and the yolk – until firm – to reduce the risk of salmonella.

Avoid feeding your baby foods containing raw or partially cooked eggs, such as homemade mayonnaise or mousse.
