Getting eggs into your baby’s diet early is important, but it can be difficult to come up with ways to get your kid to actually eat eggs in a way they enjoy. Lucky for you, preparing whole eggs for your baby is easier and more convenient than you think. The simplest way is to prepare a soft scramble – easy for your baby to chew and swallow if their teeth haven’t grown in yet – but if you’re looking for some more exciting options to tantalize your baby’s tastebuds, you’ve got plenty of options.
Not only are eggs great all on their own, they’re even better as a vehicle to deliver other important foods like cheese, whole grains, and wholesome veggies to make sure your kids are getting all the major food groups all the time.
