Hi Ladies I need some help here.  :)

 

When to introduce fish to baby? I have been giving haddock to my  son since he turned one. I have not tried other fish for himn yet. I am not sure what kinds I can give him He is 15 months old now. Any recipe ideas too? Also haddock stinks so bnad when I baked it in the ove, it has a very storng fish smell so I just BBQ it ... :)

Hi Tunde,
Katelyn LOVES grilled red snapper.  I usually asks for the fillet and then break it up in small peices to make sure there are no bones. I grilled it with a bit of thyme and then sprinkle with lemon.

Here is a great website that has tons of recipe ideas for infants and toddlers.  I've linked you to the page n fish. http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/introducingfishtobaby.htm

Any types of fish after the age of 1 are fine.  I've tried sole, haddock, tuna, salmon.  All of the ones that are high in Omega 3.  The thing to keep in mind (for babies AND adults) is to not eat too much fish in a week since it contains mercury, which is bad for both babies and pregnant women and should be limited in adults as well.  Sole, haddock - the white fish - are lower in mercury than say, tuna or red snapper (which have the highest amounts).

Something to keep in mind is that if you, your husband, or anyone in your immediate family has a fish allergy (ie. to shellfish), test a small amount with baby and watch for any allergic reaction. 

Thanks, Antonella,

 

We do not have fish allergies, and we eat fish once a week. Great suggestions.  :)
