Thanks for the advice. It is pretty obvious, but my husband works, and my mother in law is available but smokes to the point I absolutely do not want her even holding my son-- we have a family history of asthma on both sides, and she always smells so strongly of smoke I can smell it on my husband if he's been talking to her within the last hour of him coming inside our apartment. I don't trust her clothes, hair, or house not to be giving him thirdhand smoke.
Hard boiling would probably work. My only real worry at this point is how few teeth my kiddo has. He manages to choke on lunchmeat strips, pasta, everything... how soft is a hardboiled egg, could he gum it and quickly break it down? His manual dexterity is excellent, so he can rip apart a lot of foods well, he just shoves way too much in his mouth at once.
I've never heard of omelette in a bag or anything like that, haha! Guess it shows that I've had an egg allergy a really long time. I never got too into cooking with them even when I technically could. I'll look into it.
WIC has been sincerely unhelpful at appointments. I didn't manage to breastfeed him very long, which they were pretty upset about, and now they're mad about the fact that he's been throwing up the formula they give him. Apparently they absolutely cannot give us cow's milk until he is officially 1 year old, but it's the only nutritious liquid that isn't making him puke. They also won't take off purees, something he hasn't tolerated since he discovered hands could be used to shove food in his OWN mouth, and give us more fruits and veg $... it's frustrating, but I guess I understand they have regulations and all that. I've just been using purees in baked goods to fool him into eating green beans.
What I've been told thus far is that we only have one WIC office we can go to (rural area), and that they won't tailor my son's WIC package to my dietary needs either way. Unless he has an allergy, they won't change it. I'm sure that when he's a little older they'll give us peanut butter we absolutely cannot keep in the house as a result unless I manage to convince them.
