6 ish months. Basically as soon as we knew she was OK with solid food (and not choking on it). We did Peanut Butter pretty early too (a little bit on some toast while we supervised to make sure she didn't choke again).

Around 9 months or so, and we started with egg yolks. I started including egg whites at around 11 months. I don't know why I waited lol. I haven't given her eggs often though because she doesn't seem to like them.
however, I thought the post was about feeding baby eggs. As in, young eggs. And I was so confused since you don't feed eggs, as they have their yolk sac. Then I thought maybe you meant baby chicks? And I was even more confused that so many people responded as I didn't know that many people bred birds. I think I need more coffee.
DS had eggs around 6 or 7 months. Ditto that my pedi said the rules have changed in the last year and to only delay honey. He's also had the toppings off our pizza (veggies, meats).
I asked our pedi at last months appointment (6 months) and she recommended waiting until 7 or 8 months...but for no solid reason that I could figure out. I'm going to wait, but more because he still has issues with bigger foods/mashing, so I don't want him choking more than he has to.
Of course, given that most of my food dislikes are based on textural things, we may be in for a long road if he takes after me.

Right there with you! So far so good, but we have a long time to go and he can still turn picky. My aversion to textures can actually come and go too, so that's even harder.
We did egg yolk last weekend for the first time and this same question occurred to me. My doctor wants to wait until 1 year for pretty much everything, egg, nuts, shellfish, spices. I'm trying to figure out how to get the nerve to just ignore her, because I can't find reason to wait. I have plans to question her on at the 9 month well visit, but am thinking of introducing them sooner and just lying to her.

I believe we did it before a year and I gave her the entire egg. I didn't know you weren't supposed to do whites until after a year. It all worked out.
I waited until maybe 13 or 14 months, way late. But both me and H had egg allergies as babies/children and I was paranoid. Also, when I'd rub an egg on his cheek/around his mouth maybe around 8 or 9 months, it got super red. Doc said to wait then.
It is somewhat unclear to me what my mom fed her this weekend.
In addition to eggs, she might've also had...pizza. LMAO.
Lol. Pizza may or may not have been one of the first foods we ever gave V. Whoops :eek:

5 or 6 months, whenever he started eating solids. Allergies were not really on our radar because there are literally no food allergies on either side of the family.

Glad to hear it's going well for you so far!
Our pedi is the same way - wait for a while. She actually said meat/proteins starting around 8 months, but then we had a discussion about the fact that a lot of recent research is saying not to wait that long. Both of us agreed that we can only do the best with the information we have at hand; even though it seems to change rapidly. So that's what I'm keeping in mind.
Plus, thinking about all the stuff our parents did, and I'm here and fine, I figure since we don't have a history of food allergies in the family, we should be okay for the most part.
