Infants and Egg Allergies. Since egg allergies can create dangerous symptoms in kids, many pediatricians do not recommend serving egg whites until the baby is older than one year. Since the egg white contains allergenic components, yolks generally tend to be safer. Your pediatrician will recommend a good time to introduce egg whites.

Some babies may balk at the taste of meat or fish, making eggs -- a high protein food -- a logical alternative. But eggs are a food with high allergenic potential, especially for babies whose families have a history of allergy.
