17 month old always throws up after eating eggs?

Well, scrambled eggs, omelette's, etc. He eats egg white just fine. Is this a common sensitivity in babies/toddler? Is this something he might outgrow?

    it could be an allergy, just stay with egg whites from now on, when he is a little older he you try eggs again.

    ^and ignore the person trying to tell you to go vegan, it is not because eggs are unhealthy, they are extremely healthy with 6 grams of protein, 13 essential vitamins and minerals, and only 70 calories and 212 mg of cholesterol in a single egg (plus that cholesterol is in the yolk)

    The egg whites are the healty part of eggs...all the protein. The yolk has the cholosterol. So stick with the egg whites for a while, then try again when he is older. As someone else said, if he is allergic, it may take a few times for it to get worse, he may start breaking out in a rash or worse..his throat could swell up and..well.

    kids usually do outgrow food allergies.

    He might outgrow it, but I would be very wary in the meantime. If it is an ALLERGY, then they can sometimes get progressively worse the more reactions they experience. Maybe just leave the eggs for a while.

    He could be allergic to them My cousins little boy breaks out with bumps when he has eggs. She didn't find out that he was allergic til her was almost 2. If he is allergic to them than he will most likely outgrow that. And it isn't a sensitively at least I know that my little girl eats A LOT of eggs she loves them lol

    Look I am sorry being blunt but the answer is pretty obvious if he throws up continually after eating something then DON"T FEED IT TO HIM!! I don't see the problem here if he'll eat egg white then only give him that! you can make omelettes and scrambled eggs with egg white alone why keep feeding your kid egg yolk just to see if he doesn't throw up leave it! it obviously doesn't agree with him!

    I have an egg sensitivity myself even at 29 year old, lol. If he gets sick after eating them, avoid them.

    He doesn't like eggs obviously.

    I don't eat eggs and neither does my baby.

    I would try getting him into being a vegan,its healthier for the baby and it doesn't kill poor birds.

    When i see someone against abortion eating eggs i think wow you are so ******* hypocritical.

    Eating meats is terrible for all races and animals.

    We eat meat and it's taking away the animals that also eat that meat.
