When and how to give egg yolk and toast.......

Hello!
My baby girl is 7 months.  We are eating a bunch of different fruits, veggies and cereals now but I'm wondering when to give egg yolk, toast, yogurt.... I've been finding the solid feedings to be overwhelming at times....so many choices...

Any advise is really, REALLY appreciated!

Thank you ladies

my dd didnt get eggs or toast tiil after a yr old. As far as yogurt she probably got that around 6-7 months.

I'm with you on being overwhelmed. I have an 8 1/2 monh old and have no idea what's going on with solid foods...  There are a lot of stage 2 foods that have meat and such in them that I want to try... So far all we've done are fruits and veggies.   Cereals made him constipated when he was 6mos or so - so we don't give cereal at all.  You can do internet searches and to find appropriate foods to introduce between 6-8 months.  Good luck and let us know how it goes!  A friend who has an 8 mo old gave cottage cheese last week...

From Wholesome Baby:

Most pediatric resources agree that egg yolks are fine for  baby to eat when baby is around 8 months old.  Please keep in mind that the egg whites should not be fed to baby before 1 year old.  

Eggs, particularly the egg whites, are one of the top 8 of all allergens.  Many studies that have been done on infants with egg allergies find that by the time the infant has reached age 5, the allergy has been outgrown!  This is good news as the egg is highly nutritious and an important part of ones diet!

If your family has a history of egg allergies, then it is probably best to wait until after 12 months old to introduce egg yolks.
