Question

Can a seven month old baby have fish?

Answer

At 7 months, babies can eat fish but make sure it's well cooked and very finely mashed. Make sure you check for any bones as these can be a choking risk.

 

Why not mix a little mashed tuna with finely mashed potato or sweet potato? For more inspiration, have a look at our Recipe Corner for some yummy fish recipes.

 

Remember, babies should not be given shark, swordfish or marlin, as these contain high levels of some chemicals that can potentially affect their growth and development.
