I did this yesterday with my LG wnd i scrambled 1 egg with a bit of her formula in and let her touch it and she put some in her mouth. Didn’t eat all of it maybe about a third of what i offered

We introduced egg last Saturday and my girl had a reaction, as I thought she would as she has CMPA as well. I did one well done scrambled egg and gave her the tiniest little bit, made sure she swallowed it and waited 10 mins and she came up in a big rash all over her face, neck and chest. I think if you’re just wanting to test then the tiniest bit and then waiting for a while is a good idea x

I gave some yesterday so a little bit of egg yolk mashed in yogurt. And then again today but mashed the white and egg yolk in avocado. I’ll give it everyday now and slowly increasing the amount for 5 days before moving onto peanut xx

Our dietician advised us to introduce egg in the first few days - she said a hard boiled egg fork mashed but babes didn't like it (he didn't react, just didn't like the texture) so we've since tried scrambled and poached. Poached is definitely babes' preference. Sometimes I mix it in sweet potato and he takes it better.
BLW - I mixed egg, cheese, broccoli and milk (formula or breast milk) and cooked it in the oven and then cut into slices but babes wasn't a fan of the texture.
