Eggs are a traditional supplement with rich nutritional value. Many patients will eat some eggs to supplement the nutrients needed by the body, and many parents will also make some egg delicacies for their babies. But the protein molecules in protein are particularly small and not suitable for babies who are too young to eat. So, at what age can babies eat protein?
It is best for babies to add protein after one year old, as protein is not easily digested and can cause harm to their digestive system when their digestive system is not fully developed. Therefore, after the baby reaches one year old, it is advisable to give them some protein, but not too much at once, as it may have an impact on the baby.
Although protein has rich nutritional value, babies should not eat too much protein when they are too young. The protein molecules in eggs are relatively small, and sometimes their protein molecules can directly enter the baby's blood, which can cause allergic reactions. Some babies may develop eczema, urticaria and other conditions after eating protein.
When adding complementary foods to babies in daily life, it is important to pay attention to the nutritional balance. When adding complementary foods, do not blindly add foods with high nutrient content, but pay attention to whether the baby can absorb the nutrients. Therefore, when adding complementary foods to babies, be sure to add them according to their needs, and choose some complementary foods that are easy for the baby to absorb. This way, the baby's digestive system will not be burdened and they can still supplement the nutrients they need.
