Dear Adele, If your son has tried, and enjoys eggs with no adverse reactions, then by all means, go ahead with them.
Eggs are a great food, full of protein and vitamins.
My concern with your son not liking cereal is that he may not be getting the iron he needs at a critical time for getting it. If he is drinking an iron fortified infant formula than he can rely on that for his iron intake. However, if the formula intake drops off as he eats more solids, than you may want to think about getting him a baby supplement that contains iron. Also, you may want to try and see if he would enjoy an adult dry cereal that is iron fortified. Dry cereals make good finger food snacks.
