The growth and development of infants require a large amount of nutrients, so in addition to breast milk or formula, many parents choose to give their children foods such as egg yolks as additional nutritional supplements. However, some children may experience symptoms such as vomiting after consuming egg yolks. So, what happens when a baby vomits after eating egg yolks?
Due to the delicate spleen and stomach of infants, consuming a large amount of egg yolk at once may cause digestive disorders or allergies, leading to vomiting. Therefore, if consuming egg yolk, it is best to start after 4-5 months of age, starting with a quarter of the egg yolk and gradually increasing it to allow the spleen and stomach to adapt to this process.
In addition, if a child experiences symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, redness around the mouth, urticaria, or eczema in addition to vomiting, it may indicate that the child is allergic to egg yolks and should avoid consuming them. If parents are really worried, they can also take the child to check for allergens to determine if the baby is allergic to eggs. If not, other conditions should be considered.
Due to the delicate spleen and stomach of children, it is recommended that parents and friends pay extra attention to the selection and preparation methods of ingredients when supplementing nutrition for their babies. It is best to consume a small amount first to help the baby gradually adapt, and only supplement one type of food at a time to avoid various foods stimulating the baby's digestive system and causing digestive problems.
