I feel like wholesomebabyfood.com isn't really clear on wether or not to give your LO egg whites prior to 12 months. Do you give them egg whites too or just the yoke?

Same here. And they were BIL's eggs from his chickens. They got pretty offended that Camden hated it...because well, the kid will eat almost anything. haaaha

I've been giving X whole eggs for a while now. I started with meatloaf that had a whole egg in it, that was by accident. I freaked at first but since he didn't react I started giving him whole eggs.

We do whole egg. I cook them in a ring and then cut the egg circle into strips. DD didn't like the little pieces of scrambled eggs so it has become a habit.

i cook in a ring too! I use a ramekin and then cut it into strips.
usually I do egg yolk in one ramekin and oatmeal finger recipe in another, cook in the microwave.

Our dr okayed whole egg scrambled, DS2 loved it, his tummy did not the dr said to wait 4-6 weeks and try again. If he still doesn't tolerate it we will talk allergies (in addition to MSPI).

Ohh, good idea! We do whole scrambled, which she's OK with, especially when paired with a banana pancake, but I think this sounds like it would be easier for her to handle. I usually end up feeding her the scrambled myself.
The research/recommendations have gone back and forth on when to try possibly allergenic foods like eggs. My pedi said you can start with egg yolks and if the baby tolerates it you can give whole eggs. If you are paranoid you can wait until 1 yr or so, but from what I've read and what she said, that might not actually mean they won't have a reaction then and you're not necessarily protecting them from having an allergy. Babies won't have anaphylaxis the first time around anyway, you will most likely just see a rash. My friend's toddler is allergic to eggs and milk and that's what happened with both the first few times she tried it at around 9 months.
So we tried yolks mashed (after hardboiling) for a few feedings (3-4) and then started giving him scrambled eggs with milk (I just give him some of mine and then add salt + pepper to mine after) - sometimes we put some cheese or spinach in too. He loves the scrambled eggs, but this kid eats anything and everything.
Interestingly, the couple of babies I know that were or are allergic can tolerate eggs in baked goods. Not sure how that works :/ I guess that might mean they have only mild allergies. I am just thankful that we don't have an egg allergy bc I love eggs!
We do a lot of scrambled eggs and omelettes. It's so easy to feed the kids for lunch. I add cheese and sometimes frozen spinach, some ham. For the baby I cut it up into strips or pie shapes so he can feed it to himself. We have no allergies in our family (so far, touch wood)
