Do you ladies feed your babies fish?

Question

I read it’s a high allergen food for infants which makes me nervous. The other night, my husband gave our son a tiny bite of tuna and he loved it. So I bought him some Alaskan canned salmon to eat with some quinoa soon. Should I be extra careful when I feed him this? How do you ladies feed your babes fish? Drop some ideas :)

Answer

Mine started eating fish at 5 months. It’s one of the first foods we give in the Mediterranean. Salmon, anchovies, sardines, all wonderful. Just not a lot of tuna because the high mercury content builds up in babies quickly.

Answer

My daughter loves to eat grilled salmon. Usually I just throw on salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. I have made it with a light brown sugar glaze as well.

Answer

My son had an allergic reaction. I would treat the first few bites of any new food the same, wait for reaction/non-reaction. If baby is good, go for it

Answer

i get microwaveable frozen fish fillets, so easy to prepare! my boy loves fish. so far he’s tried salmon, cod and haddock. i read that it’s not advisable to give too much oily fish a week because they contain higher levels of contaminants. girls can only have half as much as boys.

Answer

I don’t think fish is that big of an allergen. Shellfish yes, fish no. The sooner you introduce allergens, the better! I don’t foresee an issue, especially since babe already had tuna. Good luck!
