How to Serve Omelette to Baby
Omelettes can be a nutritious and protein-rich option for babies. Here’s how you can serve an omelette to your baby:
Preparation: Whisk eggs in a bowl until well beaten. You can choose to add a small amount of milk or grated cheese if desired.
Cooking: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Cook the omelette until it sets and becomes firm. Avoid adding salt.
Cutting: Once cooked, allow the omelette to cool slightly. Cut it into small, bite-sized pieces that your baby can handle and chew.
Serving: Offer the omelette pieces to your baby directly. You can serve them as a standalone finger food or mix them with other soft foods like mashed vegetables or bread for added variety.

What are the Health Benefits of Offering Egg to Your Baby?
In the past we have been told not to offer eggs to babies or to reduce our consumption of them as an adult. In recent years this advice has changed and eggs can be enjoyed by everyone on a daily basis as part of a healthy and balanced diet. (Please seek guidance from your doctor or paediatrician if you are unsure or allergies run in your family)
Eggs come with numerous health benefits including:
- Excellent source of iron – needed for good health and development
- Nutritious source of protein – used to repair tissues
- Contain healthy fat – much needed to keep up with the amount of energy they are using
- Good source of Vitamin A – important for a healthy immune system
- Good source of Vitamin D – helps to absorb calcium and phosphates
- Contains Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant
- Contains Vitamin B12 – supports brain development and produces healthy red blood cells
