How do I introduce fish?
Hello. I was wondering when is the right time to introduce fish? My son is 12 months old and is eating mostly table food. I did search for fish on the message boards and could not find any info. I have cod and wild salmon in the freezer but don’t know if these are best or the correct way to prepare them. Thanks for your help!

RE: How do I introduce fish?
some suggest waiting longer, but if there are no seafood allergies in your family, i would think it is okay to introduce fish at 1 year. i'm waiting until 2 years for shellfish, though.
just be sure it is cooked well enough -- fish is easy -- can be broiled, poached, baked, microwaved, you name it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ shannon not-even-pregnant-yet-overachiever trying-to-conceive :) PREGNANT! EDD 6/9/03 mama to Jack 6/6/03

RE: How do I introduce fish?
My understanding is that fish is OK to introduce before 1, but no shellfish before 1 or 2. Since we have a family history of shellfish allergies, I am waiting until DD is 3 to introduce it.

RE: How do I introduce fish?
We introduced fish (salmon) before 1 year and he loves it.
But I am holding off on shellfish for who knows how long...For nuts and shellfish I want him to beable to be at an age where he can communicate to me if he has any allergy symptoms...I KNOW that I will not be offering those at two either. I want him to beable to say "mommy I'm itching"...and those kind of statements before I dare risk it... Just me maybe...but allergies scare me to death!!!!
