The specific aims of this study are: In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators will evaluate the impact of daily egg consumption during the complementary feeding period in addition to the local standard of nutrition care (i.e., intervention group), compared to the local standard of nutrition care alone (i.e., control group) on the following outcomes, in infants that are \~6-month old at baseline: 1. Child development, as measured by global development scores (primary outcome) 2. Growth, as measured by anthropometrics (secondary outcome) 3. Diet quality, as measured by the World Health Organization infant and young child feeding indicators (secondary outcome) Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that daily consumption of eggs during the complementary feeding period, in addition to the local standard of nutrition care, will improve child development, growth, and diet quality compared to the local standard of care alone.
