It's 6 months as long as the egg is cooked thoroughly.

Hello Sweets!

I have a 9 month old daughter and have spent a lot of time repeating like a mantra to myself about the things babies can and can not eat!

Same as the replies above- yes, babies can eat scrambled egg from 6 months as long as the egg is cooked firm and NOT runny. I shared some of my cheese and tomato omlette with my daughter the other day at lunch!

As for ideas on what to give the children in your care, I highly reccomend looking up Annabel Karmel, I have used her recipes while cooking for my daughter. The recipes are healthy, easy, cheap and can mostly be frozen for future use. That lady is a genius!!!

Good luck and I hope you and the children have fun playing with your food! =)

As well as scrambled eggs, you can also give them omelette strips. I used to do this for the twins I used to nanny for - it was a good finger food.

I have a 9mth old and a 20mth old and I tend to just freeze meals I have cooked with my family. If I can I just save some in the fridge for them the next day otherwise they have some frozen stuff. I do make the odd child only meal out of Annabel Karmel and use that when we haven't eaten anything suitable but mostly they eat leftovers
