  Hens egg allergy is among the most common food allergies in infants and young children, but is less common in older children and adults. […] Approximately 70% of children with egg allergy tolerate baked egg. Heating disrupts the protein responsible for egg allergy. The safe and regular ingestion of baked egg foods can lead to tolerance or resolution of egg allergy over time. […] To prevent a reaction, it is very important that you avoid eggs and egg products. Always read food labels and ask questions about ingredients before eating a food that you have not prepared yourself. […] Ingestion of baked forms of eggs may help lead to tolerance or resolution of the allergy with time. Be sure to speak to your practitioner about a formal baked egg challenge before trialing at home.

  One in 12 children in the U.S., Europe, China, Korea and Japan have food allergies. Australia is higher, with 1 in 10. These are true doctors’ diagnoses of children who could go into potentially fatal anaphylactic shock from food. It really is a global epidemic. […] In 2000, we told everyone to avoid possible allergens in early life – for instance, „Don’t feed your kid milk or egg until they’re 1 or 2 years old.” That recommendation came from well-meaning people, but unfortunately was not based on much data. […] Food allergies skyrocketed after those guidelines were introduced. […] Now we have a wealth of evidence saying the „5 Ds” are helpful: Make sure your vitamin D levels are good; if you can, keep a dog while your kids are small; have good dirt around; avoid dry skin and strong detergents that are hard on the skin; and diversify the diet early.

• #1 Can early introduction of egg prevent egg allergy in infants? A population-based study – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20920771/

  A total of 2589 infants (73% response) participated. Compared with introduction at 4 to 6 months, introducing egg into the diet later was associated with higher risks of egg allergy (adjusted odds ratios [ORs], 1.6 [95% CI, 1.0-2.6] and 3.4 [95% CI, 1.8-6.5] for introduction at 10-12 and after 12 months, respectively). […] At age 4 to 6 months, first exposure as cooked egg reduced the risk of egg allergy compared with first exposure as egg in baked goods (OR, 0.2 [95% CI, 0.06-0.71]). […] Introduction of cooked egg at 4 to 6 months of age might protect against egg allergy. Changes in infant feeding guidelines could have a significant effect on childhood egg allergy and possibly food allergy more generally.

• #1 Early Introduction of Allergenic Foods and the Prevention of Food Allergy

  https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/13/2565

  The increasing prevalence of food allergies is a growing public health problem. For children considered high risk of developing food allergy (particularly due to the presence of other food allergies or severe eczema), the evidence for the early introduction of allergenic foods, and in particular peanut and egg, is robust. In such cases, the consensus is clear that not only should such foods not be delayed, but that they should be introduced at approximately 4 to 6 months of age in order to minimize the risk of food allergy development. […] Trials examining the early introduction of eggs as a means of reducing egg allergy have yielded mixed results. In 2017, the Prevention of Egg Allergy with Tiny Amount Intake Trial (PETIT) randomized 147 infants with atopic dermatitis to consume either heated egg powder or placebo, in addition to undergoing the aggressive treatment of atopic dermatitis. When compared to the avoidance of egg for the first year of life, those infants who consumed egg powder from 6 to 12 months of age had a significant reduction in the development of egg allergy (8% of the egg group, compared with 38% of the placebo group), resulting in the trial being stopped early to avoid harm to the placebo group.

  The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) suggests HE introduction between 4 and 6 months. […] The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) recommends that all infants should be given allergenic solid foods, including cooked HE, in the first year of life. […] Both the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology/Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (AAAAI/CSACI) guidelines suggest introducing well-cooked HE but not raw egg or uncooked pasteurized HE into the infant diet from 4 to 6 months of life as part of complementary feeding to prevent HE allergy in infants. […] In agreement with the most recent guidelines, we suggest that HE or HE-containing products should be a regular part of the diet from around 6 months of age, and they should not be introduced earlier than 4 months of age. This can be applied to all infants, even those without atopic eczema or when an atopic family history is lacking, regardless of the relative risk of developing HE allergy.

• #1 Timing of introduction of allergenic solids for infants at high risk | Canadian Paediatric Society

  https://cps.ca/documents/position/allergenic-solids

  One recent systematic review and meta-analysis found evidence of moderate certainty that early egg introduction (between 4 to 6 months of age) reduced the rate of egg allergy (RR=0.56 (95% CI: 0.36 to 0.87)). […] In conclusion, there is emerging evidence from randomized trials which have included infants younger than 6 months old, that earlier allergenic solid introduction may prevent peanut and egg allergy in infants at high risk. […] The following guidance for practice is based on evidence supporting the early introduction of common allergenic foods to high-risk infants: For high-risk infants, and based on developmental readiness, consider introducing common allergenic solids at around 6 months of age, but not before an infant is 4 months of age.

  Introduction of egg to the diet of infants aged 4-6 months. […] Infants, particularly those at higher risk of food allergy, with the aim of reducing the risk of developing egg allergy. […] Infants who started eating egg between 4 and 6 months of age show a 40% relative risk reduction of egg allergy compared with children who started egg later in life. […] The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy recommends introduction of solids (including egg and peanut) for all infants between 4 and 6 months of age. […] The key message is that consumption not avoidance reduces the risk of developing egg allergy. […] Supporting this message is the finding that hydrolysed preparations do not reduce the risk of allergic or autoimmune disease. […] The timing of egg introduction is not associated with risk of allergy to other foods.

  Infants at high risk for developing a food allergy have either an atopic condition (such as eczema) themselves or an immediate family member with such a condition. […] For high-risk infants, there is compelling evidence that introducing allergenic foods early at around 6 months, but not before 4 months of age can prevent common food allergies, and allergies to peanut and egg in particular. […] Once an allergenic food has been introduced, regular ingestion (e.g., a few times a week) is important to maintain tolerance. […] For high-risk infants, encourage the introduction of allergenic foods (e.g., cooked [not raw] egg, peanut) early, at about 6 months and not before 4 months of age, in a safe and developmentally appropriate way, at home. […] When allergenic foods have been introduced, make sure that ongoing ingestion of age-appropriate serving sizes is regular (i.e., a few times a week), to maintain tolerance.

  https://www.emjreviews.com/allergy-immunology/symposium/new-advances-in-the-prevention-and-management-of-food-allergy/

  This symposium explored the role of nutritional interventions relating to food allergy, first in terms of prevention strategies and then management, focussing on the benefits of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) in the management of cows milk protein allergy (CMPA). […] She summarised current guidelines on food allergy prevention, which are all in agreement that there is no reason to withhold or delay the introduction of allergenic foods in infancy, and discussed the logistics of food allergen introduction in the first year of life. […] Both suggest introducing peanut and cooked egg in early infancy for the prevention of peanut and egg allergy, respectively. […] With regard to egg, it should be cooked according to the EAT and PETIT studies, but what constitutes a well-cooked egg is debated, although it does include boiled and scrambled egg if it has been heated until no visible liquid remains. The dose recommended for prevention of egg allergy is also debated, but 12 tablespoons of well-cooked egg 12 times per week is in line with healthy eating guidance.

  Infants should have allergenic foods (e.g., cooked [not raw] egg, peanut) introduced at home, at approximately 4-6 months of age in high-risk infants and 6 months of age in low-risk infants. […] Once introduced and tolerated, it is essential that allergenic foods be eaten regularly (multiple times per month and at least once per week) in amounts representative of age-appropriate servings. […] A single exposure or occasional/intermittent exposures to allergenic foods should be avoided as this could be detrimental and result in food allergy. […] Families who are hesitant to introduce allergenic foods at home and in a primary care clinic should be referred to an allergist. Also, infants who have failed primary prevention should be referred to an allergist as soon as possible for consideration of early infant oral immunotherapy (OIT).

  The latest CPS/CSACI position statement advised that intermittent supplementation with intact CMF (e.g., a few bottles in the hospital followed by exclusive breastfeeding) should be avoided due to an increased risk of CMA, and when CMF has been introduced in an infant’s diet, it is important to ensure that regular ingestion of as little as 10 mL daily is maintained to prevent loss of tolerance. […] The most cost-effective, practical and reliable way to introduce allergenic foods is to do so at home. […] Given the above-mentioned evidence, the CSACI has recently published a statement focused on the importance of ongoing regular ingestion of allergenic foods to prevent food allergy. […] The CSACI recommends both early introduction and, once introduced, regular ingestion of age-appropriate amounts and textures of all common allergens multiple times per month (with a goal of at least once each week based on expert opinion) to establish and maintain tolerance.

  For all infants, give egg early in the infant diet. For high-risk infants, aim to give egg at age four to six months, or as early as possible. The earlier egg is introduced and given regularly, the greater chance of preventing egg allergy. […] Once egg has been introduced, if tolerated, it should be given regularly in the diet to maintain tolerance. In high-risk infants, greater vigilance is required to maintain tolerance/ prevent allergy, egg should be given three times a week. […] Delayed introduction, or introduction followed by avoidance of food allergens in the infant diet, increases the chance of allergy. Conversely, early introduction of allergens followed by regular exposure (eating the food) reduces allergy. […] Infants with higher risk of allergy, particularly those with eczema or an existing food allergy, can benefit most from early introduction especially egg and peanut. […] However, as the general population has a baseline risk of food allergy, all infants stand to benefit from being introduced to allergens in the diet early.

  https://www.allergy.org.au/patients/allergy-prevention/ascia-how-to-introduce-solid-foods-to-babies

  This information aims to provide parents with practical advice on how to introduce solid foods to your baby, based on current evidence for food allergy prevention. This advice is relevant for all babies, particularly those with severe eczema, or existing food allergy, or a family member (parent or sibling) with allergies. […] When introducing solid foods to your baby, include common allergy causing foods by 12 months in an age appropriate form, such as well cooked egg and smooth peanut butter/paste. These foods include egg, peanut, cows milk (dairy), tree nuts (such as cashew or almond paste), soy, sesame, wheat, fish, and other seafood. Studies show that this may reduce the chance of developing food allergy in babies with severe eczema or egg allergy. […] It is important to note that some babies may still develop a food allergy even if this advice is followed.

  https://childrensallergydoctors.com/food-allergy-prevention/

  Research into finding a cure for food allergies and stopping the development of food allergies is continually taking place. […] Recent evidence suggests that early introduction of allergenic foods to infants alongside other solid foods may help prevent the development of food allergies. […] Professor Helen Brough co-authored the landmark LEAP study (Learning Early About Peanut Allergy) and the EAT study (Enquiring About Tolerance) which showed that food allergies can be prevented by introducing solid foods into your child’s diet before 6 months of age, including introducing allergenic foods. […] Children with early onset eczema which began in the first 3 months of life, requiring prescribed steroid creams for their eczema, have a 50% chance of having peanut, egg or sesame seed allergy (HealthNuts study) by the time they are one year old so it is very important to try to prevent this.

  There Are Simple Steps You Can Take to Prevent a Food Allergy in Your Baby. Recent research shows you can prevent up to 4 out of 5 peanut allergies before they start by using a simple process called early allergen introduction. […] SAFETY ALERT! If your baby has severe eczema or an egg allergy, talk with your baby’s doctor or other primary care provider first because these can make your baby more likely to have a peanut allergy reaction. […] If your baby has been diagnosed with an egg allergy or severe eczema that needs steroid cream for treatment, NIAID recommends talking with your baby’s health care provider before giving peanut-containing foods. Severe eczema and egg allergy can make your baby more likely to have a peanut allergy reaction, and a health care provider can help you introduce peanut-containing foods safely.

  Helpful Tips and Tricks for Allergy Prevention […] The dual exposure hypothesis is a belief that the ability to eat a food without a reaction (tolerance) is developed by having the GI tract see the food, whereas the potential for food allergy is developed by skin exposure to the food, which can be worsened by eczema or skin breakdown. It is important to try to prevent repeated skin exposure to foods that your child has not eaten yet. To try to limit skin exposure it is best to avoid eating allergenic foods in your child’s play area and restrict eating to the table. It is important to clean surfaces where food is prepared or eaten to help reduce your child’s environmental exposure to any food allergens. Limit snacking throughout the house to reduce the amount of food dust/particles that get on rugs, carpets, etc. It is best to wash your hands before applying lotions and creams and after handling foods.

  Some stand out lectures focused on the prevention of food allergy, which is a fascinating topic still very much being studied around the world, as researchers are trying to explain the reasons for the dramatic increase in food allergy. […] 1. Diversity diversify the diet early. Feed cooked egg and peanut around 6 months of age and do not deliberately delay introduction of other allergens. Along with this, allergenic solids should not be avoided in breastfeeding and lactating mothers. Hydrolyzed formula is not recommended to prevent allergy. […] 3. Vitamin D infants who are vitamin D deficient are 3 times more likely to have an egg allergy, 11 times more likely to have a peanut allergy, and also more likely to have multiple rather than single food allergies. […] 4. Dry skin sensitization to food can occur through the skin and dry skin may increase the risk for infants to become sensitized to common allergenic foods. It is recommended to optimize the skin barrier by decreasing the use of drying soaps and detergents, and increase the use of nonallergenic moisturizers.

• #1 Skin and oral intervention for food allergy prevention based on dual allergen exposure hypothesis

  https://www.e-cep.org/journal/view.php?doi=10.3345/cep.2023.00045

  To prevent the onset of food allergies, it is essential to prevent transdermal sensitization by controlling AD and inducing oral immune tolerance by initiating oral intake during early infancy. […] These results suggest that, in children with AD, starting enhanced therapy for remission induction as early as possible and maintaining remission consisting of well-controlled skin may reduce the risk of developing food sensitization and food allergy by preventing percutaneous IgE sensitization to food allergens. […] We believe that the major invaluable interventions for food allergy prevention are eczema management and the early introduction of small doses of allergenic foods. […] The flow of the food allergy prevention strategy is recommended in daily practice based on the dual allergen exposure hypothesis both skin and oral interventions for food allergy prevention.

  It is best to introduce new foods to your child in an age-appropriate and culturally appropriate manner. The foods should be free of choking hazards, such as whole nuts and thinned by mixing them with formula, breast milk, or pureed fruits or vegetables. There is no reason to delay the introduction of foods that are considered allergenic like, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, soy, wheat, sesame, fish, and shellfish beyond 4-6 months of exclusive breastfeeding. We recommend that you start with a tip of a teaspoon and double this every 10 to 20 minutes until your child has reached about 2 grams of the allergen protein. The amount of protein can be found on the nutrition label. For example, about 2 teaspoons for nut-butters, and sesame tahini) and about 1/3rd of a large egg have 2 grams of those specific proteins.

  All babies should be given common allergy causing foods by 12 months of age, including egg and peanut, in an age appropriate form such as well cooked egg and smooth peanut butter/paste (not whole nuts or pieces). This includes babies who have eczema (very dry skin), another food allergy, or a family member with food allergy, even though they may have a higher chance of developing food allergy. […] However, it is best to offer your baby well cooked egg and smooth peanut butter/paste regularly (twice weekly), starting before 12 months of age. Delayed introduction of these foods has been shown to increase the chance of developing food allergy. […] Only introduce one common allergy causing food at each meal. If only one new common allergy causing food is introduced at each meal and an allergic reaction occurs, the problem food can be easily identified. If your baby has an allergic reaction, stop giving that food and seek medical advice. […] Unless your baby has an allergic reaction to the food, continue to give the food to your baby regularly (twice weekly), as part of a varied diet.

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20920771/

  A total of 2589 infants (73% response) participated. Compared with introduction at 4 to 6 months, introducing egg into the diet later was associated with higher risks of egg allergy (adjusted odds ratios [ORs], 1.6 [95% CI, 1.0-2.6] and 3.4 [95% CI, 1.8-6.5] for introduction at 10-12 and after 12 months, respectively). […] At age 4 to 6 months, first exposure as cooked egg reduced the risk of egg allergy compared with first exposure as egg in baked goods (OR, 0.2 [95% CI, 0.06-0.71]). […] Introduction of cooked egg at 4 to 6 months of age might protect against egg allergy. Changes in infant feeding guidelines could have a significant effect on childhood egg allergy and possibly food allergy more generally.

• #2 Early Introduction of Allergenic Foods and the Prevention of Food Allergy

  https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/13/2565

  The increasing prevalence of food allergies is a growing public health problem. For children considered high risk of developing food allergy (particularly due to the presence of other food allergies or severe eczema), the evidence for the early introduction of allergenic foods, and in particular peanut and egg, is robust. In such cases, the consensus is clear that not only should such foods not be delayed, but that they should be introduced at approximately 4 to 6 months of age in order to minimize the risk of food allergy development. […] Trials examining the early introduction of eggs as a means of reducing egg allergy have yielded mixed results. In 2017, the Prevention of Egg Allergy with Tiny Amount Intake Trial (PETIT) randomized 147 infants with atopic dermatitis to consume either heated egg powder or placebo, in addition to undergoing the aggressive treatment of atopic dermatitis. When compared to the avoidance of egg for the first year of life, those infants who consumed egg powder from 6 to 12 months of age had a significant reduction in the development of egg allergy (8% of the egg group, compared with 38% of the placebo group), resulting in the trial being stopped early to avoid harm to the placebo group.

  Infants should have allergenic foods (e.g., cooked [not raw] egg, peanut) introduced at home, at approximately 4-6 months of age in high-risk infants and 6 months of age in low-risk infants. […] Once introduced and tolerated, it is essential that allergenic foods be eaten regularly (multiple times per month and at least once per week) in amounts representative of age-appropriate servings. […] A single exposure or occasional/intermittent exposures to allergenic foods should be avoided as this could be detrimental and result in food allergy. […] Families who are hesitant to introduce allergenic foods at home and in a primary care clinic should be referred to an allergist. Also, infants who have failed primary prevention should be referred to an allergist as soon as possible for consideration of early infant oral immunotherapy (OIT).

  For all infants, give egg early in the infant diet. For high-risk infants, aim to give egg at age four to six months, or as early as possible. The earlier egg is introduced and given regularly, the greater chance of preventing egg allergy. […] Once egg has been introduced, if tolerated, it should be given regularly in the diet to maintain tolerance. In high-risk infants, greater vigilance is required to maintain tolerance/ prevent allergy, egg should be given three times a week. […] Delayed introduction, or introduction followed by avoidance of food allergens in the infant diet, increases the chance of allergy. Conversely, early introduction of allergens followed by regular exposure (eating the food) reduces allergy. […] Infants with higher risk of allergy, particularly those with eczema or an existing food allergy, can benefit most from early introduction especially egg and peanut. […] However, as the general population has a baseline risk of food allergy, all infants stand to benefit from being introduced to allergens in the diet early.

  Helpful Tips and Tricks for Allergy Prevention […] The dual exposure hypothesis is a belief that the ability to eat a food without a reaction (tolerance) is developed by having the GI tract see the food, whereas the potential for food allergy is developed by skin exposure to the food, which can be worsened by eczema or skin breakdown. It is important to try to prevent repeated skin exposure to foods that your child has not eaten yet. To try to limit skin exposure it is best to avoid eating allergenic foods in your child’s play area and restrict eating to the table. It is important to clean surfaces where food is prepared or eaten to help reduce your child’s environmental exposure to any food allergens. Limit snacking throughout the house to reduce the amount of food dust/particles that get on rugs, carpets, etc. It is best to wash your hands before applying lotions and creams and after handling foods.

  Eggs are a fundamental food in the human diet, and together with cows milk, they are the most common food allergen. […] In view of these issues, various approaches for preventing HE development in children have been proposed. The current review focuses on prevention, especially by dietary interventions in a child’s first year. […] Current evidence suggests that in infancy it may be possible to take advantage of a time window to introduce the main food allergens for inducing oral tolerance (window of opportunity). An early and continuous oral intake of food protein may induce long-lasting immune tolerance, with systemic immune unresponsiveness to ingested allergens, through the GALT (Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue). […] On the one hand, there is no evidence that avoidance of HE during pregnancy or breast-feeding, or postponing introduction to the weaning diet, prevents clinical HE allergy. On the other hand, there are some observations that the early and habitual consumption of HE after birth can decrease the occurrence of HE allergy.

If only one new common allergy causing food is introduced at each meal and an allergic reaction occurs, the problem food can be easily identified. If your baby has an allergic reaction, stop giving that food and seek medical advice. […] Unless your baby has an allergic reaction to the food, continue to give the food to your baby regularly (twice weekly), as part of a varied diet.

  Hens egg allergy is among the most common food allergies in infants and young children, but is less common in older children and adults. […] Approximately 70% of children with egg allergy tolerate baked egg. Heating disrupts the protein responsible for egg allergy. The safe and regular ingestion of baked egg foods can lead to tolerance or resolution of egg allergy over time. […] To prevent a reaction, it is very important that you avoid eggs and egg products. Always read food labels and ask questions about ingredients before eating a food that you have not prepared yourself.

Compared with introduction at 4 to 6 months, introducing egg into the diet later was associated with higher risks of egg allergy (adjusted odds ratios [ORs], 1.6 [95% CI, 1.0-2.6] and 3.4 [95% CI, 1.8-6.5] for introduction at 10-12 and after 12 months, respectively). […] At age 4 to 6 months, first exposure as cooked egg reduced the risk of egg allergy compared with first exposure as egg in baked goods (OR, 0.2 [95% CI, 0.06-0.71]).

  Infants at high risk for developing a food allergy have either an atopic condition (such as eczema) themselves or an immediate family member with such a condition. […] For high-risk infants, there is compelling evidence that introducing allergenic foods early at around 6 months, but not before 4 months of age can prevent common food allergies, and allergies to peanut and egg in particular. […] Once an allergenic food has been introduced, regular ingestion (e.g., a few times a week) is important to maintain tolerance. […] For high-risk infants, encourage the introduction of allergenic foods (e.g., cooked [not raw] egg, peanut) early, at about 6 months and not before 4 months of age, in a safe and developmentally appropriate way, at home. […] When allergenic foods have been introduced, make sure that ongoing ingestion of age-appropriate serving sizes is regular (i.e., a few times a week), to maintain tolerance.

  Helpful Tips and Tricks for Allergy Prevention […] The dual exposure hypothesis is a belief that the ability to eat a food without a reaction (tolerance) is developed by having the GI tract see the food, whereas the potential for food allergy is developed by skin exposure to the food, which can be worsened by eczema or skin breakdown. It is important to try to prevent repeated skin exposure to foods that your child has not eaten yet. To try to limit skin exposure it is best to avoid eating allergenic foods in your child’s play area and restrict eating to the table. It is important to clean surfaces where food is prepared or eaten to help reduce your child’s environmental exposure to any food allergens. Limit snacking throughout the house to reduce the amount of food dust/particles that get on rugs, carpets, etc. It is best to wash your hands before applying lotions and creams and after handling foods.

  The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) suggests HE introduction between 4 and 6 months. […] The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) recommends that all infants should be given allergenic solid foods, including cooked HE, in the first year of life. […] Both the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology/Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (AAAAI/CSACI) guidelines suggest introducing well-cooked HE but not raw egg or uncooked pasteurized HE into the infant diet from 4 to 6 months of life as part of complementary feeding to prevent HE allergy in infants. […] In agreement with the most recent guidelines, we suggest that HE or HE-containing products should be a regular part of the diet from around 6 months of age, and they should not be introduced earlier than 4 months of age. This can be applied to all infants, even those without atopic eczema or when an atopic family history is lacking, regardless of the relative risk of developing HE allergy.

  The only way to prevent egg allergy symptoms is to avoid eggs or egg products. Some people with egg allergies, however, can tolerate foods that contain well-cooked eggs, such as baked goods. […] Medications such as antihistamines may reduce signs and symptoms of a mild egg allergy. These drugs can be taken after exposure to eggs. They aren’t effective for preventing an anaphylactic egg reaction or for treating a severe reaction. […] You may need to carry an emergency epinephrine injector (EpiPen, Auvi-Q, others) at all times. Anaphylaxis requires an epinephrine shot, a trip to the emergency room and observation for a time to be sure symptoms don’t return. […] Most children eventually outgrow egg allergy. Talk to your child’s doctor about frequency of testing to see whether eggs still cause symptoms. It may be unsafe for you to test your child’s reaction to eggs at home, particularly if your child has had a severe reaction to eggs in the past.

  All babies should be given common allergy causing foods by 12 months of age, including egg and peanut, in an age appropriate form such as well cooked egg and smooth peanut butter/paste (not whole nuts or pieces). This includes babies who have eczema (very dry skin), another food allergy, or a family member with food allergy, even though they may have a higher chance of developing food allergy. […] However, it is best to offer your baby well cooked egg and smooth peanut butter/paste regularly (twice weekly), starting before 12 months of age. Delayed introduction of these foods has been shown to increase the chance of developing food allergy. […] Only introduce one common allergy causing food at each meal. If only one new common allergy causing food is introduced at each meal and an allergic reaction occurs, the problem food can be easily identified. If your baby has an allergic reaction, stop giving that food and seek medical advice. […] Unless your baby has an allergic reaction to the food, continue to give the food to your baby regularly (twice weekly), as part of a varied diet. Trying a food and then not giving it regularly may result in a food allergy developing.
