Adam meets Egg Yolks for the first time

just another weekend went by. And it's Monday again. i did nothing productive during the weekend, except for being bounded to the sofa and tv remote. not healthy? yeah rite! hate myself for that! must put the blame on hubby, since he was all day long out with his flying class, leave behind the lovely wife playing chase and run with the active baby in house. no outing. sobbss.. but that explains a little workout at least. and a decent home cooked meal. :)

the Sunday morning, hubby lurked for breakfast at Bangi Kopitiam. it is then when i within a brink decided to introduce egg yolks for adam (of course i did some readings earlier on). something new in his diet. Experts advises parents to only introduce egg yolks at 8 months and egg whites at 1 year old mark. Egg whites are never to be served before 1. Any early could result in an adverse reaction. The egg yolks is said contains the following:

• all of an egg’s vitamin A, D, and E;
• almost all the vitamin B12, choline, folic acid and vitamin B3;
• 76% of the biotin,
• 73% of the inositol,
• 50% of the niacin,
• 93% of the vitamin B6,
• 42% of the riboflavin,
• 90% of the thiamin
• 44% of the protein
  and substantial portions of the egg’s mineral content

It is also said: Eggs is one of the common causes of food allergy and those with an allergy to eggs tend to react to the proteins in the egg white - ovalbumin and ovomucoid. Some children, however, are allergic to the yolk protein, although this is far less common. source: here

so, since he's hit the 1 year old mark, i thought it would be best to give it a try!

bread dip in egg yolks. discard the white egg of course :)

and walla, he went hand clapping upon it! he loves the egg yolk. or wait, what did he not like in the first place? naa, that is what i'm yet to discover. he just seems to love foods. :P

but must remember, egg yolk is not to be served on daily basis. 3 times a week sufficient enough for babies diet :)
