Egg white is difficult to digest and absorb.
Egg white contains a substance called protein. This substance may not be fully digested and absorbed in the baby's intestines. Premature intake of too much egg white by infants may bring too much burden to the intestines, leading to diarrhea, vomiting and other discomfort symptoms.
Effect of lecithin on infant health
Egg white is also rich in lecithin, which is a nutrient that contributes to brain development and nervous system health. However, for infants under one year old, their intestines are immature and may not be able to absorb lecithin well. Therefore, premature consumption of egg white by infants may lead to excessive accumulation of lecithin in the body, which may have a potential impact on the health of infants.
Effect of yolk protein on infant health
Yolk protein is also an important component of egg white, which contributes to bone growth and tooth development. However, the bones and teeth of infants under one year old are also in the development stage, and they may not be able to make full use of vitellin. Premature intake of egg white by infants may also lead to excessive accumulation of vitellogenin in the body, which is not conducive to the health of infants.
Immature intestinal development of infants
The reason why babies under one year old should not eat egg white is that some ingredients in egg white may have adverse effects on the baby's health, and the baby's intestinal development is not mature enough to fully digest and absorb these ingredients. Therefore, we suggest that parents gradually introduce food such as egg white after the baby is one year old to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.
