    Raw egg in baby food? This is incredibly irresponsible for two reasons: If there is salmonella in the egg, the baby’s underdeveloped immune system won’t be able to handle it. Considering how sick adults get with salmonella, this could kill your baby. Also, babies under one year shouldn’t have eggs at all for allergy sensitization reasons. This includes cooked into things like cake. Please either modify this recipe or take it down.

      There are a couple schools of thought on this. This recipe was created using the Weston A Price Foundation’s guidelines for nourishing foods for a baby. You can check out Sally Fallon’s book called Nourishing Traditions for more info and sources. http://bit.ly/nourishingbaby

    Giving a baby raw eggs is not safe!

      I have read a lot about raw egg YOLKS for infants. The yolks aren’t the same as the whites. You should not give infants egg whites. There are several sources that discuss this topic. Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon is a great resource.

    Hello. Great Idea. And giving a baby raw egg yolk(just yolk and starting with very little) is a fantastic and safe way for providing very important nutrients for development. You need to be getting it organic or pastured from a trusted farmer ๐Ÿ™‚ I have been drinking 3 raw egg yolk smoothies for the past 6 months with my kids since I have found out I was pregnant. My 3 year old can handle it with no issues, my 2 year old can handle small amounts, but she is now used of it bigger amounts. You can also start with soft cooked egg yolks at 4 months old. It is SAFE. If you do your research, you should not be worried ๐Ÿ™‚ CHEERS TO EGGS

    Hi, I am a huge follower of Weston A Price and decided to start my daughter on soft cooked egg yolks, which she loved. One day, about an hour and a half after eating egg yolk, she started vomiting violently to the point of dry heaves. After 40 mins of this, she slumped into a non responsive state. This was gery scary to say theast. Thank goodness and the powers that be that she woke up as I was on the phone with an emergency hotline in the UK. I just want people to know that allergies do not always show themselves immediately and it could have been much worse. Sometimes allergenic foods- even yolks which are supposed to be less allergenic- take time to develop. My daughter had egg yolk more than a dozen times before she had any reaction, so the advice to give the same new food for 3 days or even a week does not always protect from an allergy issue.
