poonam, rk and others
how do you give egg to baby?
i boil it and remove egg white
then i mash egg yold and add formula to it
then i use net to remove lumps
but most of the egg yolk seems to go into the net
not to baby
how to do it correctly?
if i dont use net, it gets stuck in the nipple
please tell me the procedure you follow

thanks

ur a great mom going thru all that trouble just to feed ur baby an egg :-)

when tintin was 8months i started giving her eggs...first i just gave her boiled egg yolk...she was heavily into finger food at that time and i immediately started giving her scrambbled instead of boiled...she loves it...i dont seperate the whites and yellows...did that a couple of times...

i simply put just a dash of butter in the frying pan and break the egg on it and stir it till its done....no salt coz the butter contains some amount and egg itself has plenty...just make sure its cooked properly....then let the baby eat it on its own....

if the baby isnt interested in feeding herself u have to put it with ur own hand in the mouth...spoon wudnt be very comfy coz the peices will keep falling off it...so use ur fingers...the quantity is so small it wont take long :-)

love
poonam
