What to feed a toothless 9mo who's allergic to egg?

[greencrayon]

We just started with solids about a week ago. We had been doing purées before that.

For breakfast she usually gets Greek yogurt. Since she can't have egg, what other options are there for her? Toast, fruit, and English muffins we have tried.

Lunch is at my grandmas house and purées are easier for her. But what can I do on weekends? She looooves applesauce but hates apples. Turkey sandwich?

Dinner I've been giving her what I'm eating basically. Today, rotisserie chicken with broccoli and carrots.
Basically any help would be appreciated. What do you feed your kids?

I used to buy egg free pancake mix from Whole Foods and then make them and freeze them when DD1 was allergic to egg (she has since outgrown it).

Cottage cheese?

[AlpineSlide]

breakfast is yogurt, cheerios, rice chex, waffle, toast

cheese
lunch meat (turkey or chicken)
sliced grapes
mac and cheese
grilled cheese
quesadilla
black beans or other beans (I cut then if they are large)
frozen corn, peas
shredded chicken
pieces of pork chop
meatballs
spaghetti or other pasta and sauce
roasted squash

No need for it to be breakfast type foods--just save some leftovers from dinner?

We will spread mashed avocado or hummus on toast for a nutrient boost. Breakfast is usually yogurt, Cheerios or toast, and a diced fruit like bananas or peaches. I usually roast a chicken for the week, so lunch is chicken, a vegetable, and applesauce. Dinner is components of what we're eating. Tonight, we're having roast so I'll cut up some of that and give him some of the carrots as well.

If you're worried about protein, you could make something like egg free ricotta pancakes for breakfast.

When did you start with hummus? I read that beans can cause stomach issues. Do you just substitute ricotta for the egg in the pancakes?

Had not thought of that. Thank you!

What age did you notice it? When did she outgrow it?

DS is allergic to milk, eggs and nuts. I served a lot of pouches at that age. Now, I give him some of my morning smoothie, which is almost the same thing.

Van's has a good selection of gluten free waffles, pancakes and French toast that we have been using. If you're okay with making a lot yourself anything you bake that needs egg can be replaced with 1T chia or flax seeds and 3T water. Vegan recipes are always egg free. Good luck! Egg allergies are tough at first but easy once you get the hang of it.

Around 9 months when she had scrambled eggs for the 2nd time. She had an allergy test for other things and they tested the egg as well. It was positive and then they did blood work as well. There is still a slight false positive rate I think even after all those tests though but we avoided it.

We tried scrambled eggs around 2 and she was fine so we just went for it and had no issues. She only would get a rash though (not crazy hives or anything) so I was more lax about just trying it ourselves when we wanted to.

Breakfasts we do yogurt, whole wheat toast with simply fruit spread, cheerios, oatmeal and fruit.

Dinner/ lunch: chicken, veggie (cut up and purees), meatball, pizza, cheese stick, black beans and rice, pasta

[osulori]

Steamed veggies, quesadillas, steamed sweet potato, avocado chunks, peas, beans, oatmeal, cheerios, shredded and ground meats, soft fruits like mango and banana, pasta/mac and cheese, shredded cheese, pancakes and waffles (without egg), english muffin pizzas.

We started beans around 9 months. Our pedi said it was a good protein source, especially since my youngest had a dairy intolerance.  

I can't link right now, but if you google ricotta pancake egg free a ton of good recipes come up.

[Jalapeñomel]

String cheese, feta cheese, all cheese, hummus, bell peppers, shredded chicken, steak, pasta, tomato sauce, meatballs, meatloaf, yogurt, toast, bananas, mangos, quesadillas, fish sticks, mac & cheese, puffs

You can also substitute flax seed meal / water for eggs in recipes. My son has a dairy allergy and we do coconut milk yogurt, bananas, melon, apples, peaches, pears, oatmeal (steel cut) with either fruit chunks or purees mixed in, I sometimes add in quinoa to the oatmeal, avocado / banana, bagels. He pretty much eats what we eat (and he's 11 months with no teeth).

Avocado and peanut butter (our dr believes pb early is fine, but you might ask first). DH and I eat a lot of smoothies for breakfast, so DS usually gets some cheerios and some smoothie mixed with oatmeal
