These Egg Cheese and Spinach Muffins<\/strong> are one of the first foods I gave my little boy and he ate them up faster than I could make them! Eggs are one of my favourite first foods for baby led weaning. Not only are they high in protein but they also contain all 9 essential amino acids. These are important, especially if you are a vegetarian! Eggs don\u2019t just stop there, they are a great source of iron which is essential for healthy growth and development. And let’s be honest, eggs are REALLY easy to make and can be cooked in so many different ways to suit you and your baby\u2019s preferences. While eggs have superpowers, when you add Iron-rich spinach and vitamin c packed tomatoes you\u2019re rounding out a nice nutritious meal for your baby.<\/p>\n

Introducing first foods and potential allergies<\/h2>\n

While we hear about egg allergies often, it is actually quite rare to have one. If there is a history of allergies in your family, your baby could be at risk, however, the majority of babies won\u2019t have any issues at all. When introducing allergen foods like eggs, peanuts and tree nuts, dairy and fish we introduce them one per week. This way you can easily identify food that might be problematic for your baby. <\/p>\n

When giving your baby egg for the first time, start with a very small piece and increase slowly throughout the week. Keep a note of any signs of allergy like rash or change in bathroom habits and if you do notice anything you can then speak to your doctor. Try not to introduce multiple first foods in the same time frame to avoid confusing any symptoms.<\/p>\n

You can’t freeze time, but you can freeze these baby led weaning muffins!<\/h2>\n

Once you are feeling confident about feeding your baby eggs, you can whip up a large batch of these egg and spinach muffins and store them in the freezer for a quick baby led weaning breakfast. All you\u2019ll need to do is take them out and thaw them for 15 seconds in the microwave. As you move forward in your weaning journey, you will find that having a bunch of healthy homemade weaning foods in the freezer will be life-saving. Seriously though, double batch everything. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
