What is the value of eggs in the diet of this period? They form a very
valuable food. They must be fresh and only slightly cooked, being either
soft-boiled, poached or coddled. Fried eggs and omelets are prohibited.
Is the white or yolk more digestible? Generally the white in most
children. This is a very digestible proteid and can be used to great
advantage even in the latter part of the first year.
Do eggs often cause biliousness? Very seldom if they are carefully
prepared and fed.
How often may I give eggs to the child? Most children at this period will
be able to take one egg for breakfast and one for supper, with relish and
advantage; however, some few children cannot eat them at all.
