From 6 months old, Baby can discover the taste of different fish. Rich in protein, selenium, iodine, fluoride, and essential omega-3 fatty acids, fish is an excellent food for Baby's health! Here are a few tips to make the introduction go smoothly...
How do you introduce fish into a baby's diet?
At first, we prefer white fish (cod, pollock, saithe, etc.), but also salmon. However, we avoid smoked and canned fish, which are too strong and too salty. And we watch out for bones! For example, we avoid sea bream, which has too many.
Mix 2 teaspoons (10g for those who like to weigh it!) of cooked fish, preferably steamed, into your vegetable purée. Then serve this mixture every other lunch, alternating with meat.
As Baby grows, the portion of fish should increase: from 8 months, they can eat 4 teaspoons (20g). The choice of fish is also wider: mackerel and sardines are welcome!
Then Baby can eat small pieces of fish and even try mussels and shrimp, if they are very fresh and well cooked (from 1 year old).
Note that babies at risk of allergies (family history) should not eat fish during their first year of life.
