Question

Can I give my baby canned foods such as tuna and tomatoes?

Answer

It's best to avoid giving your little one foods intended for adults as they may contain ingredients like added salt, that are not suitable for them.

 

If you'd like to use tuna or tinned tomatoes, try to get those with no added salt e.g. tuna in oil or water, rather than brine. Also, depending upon your baby's age, make sure you puree, mash or chop all ingredients and ensure there are no bones in the fish.
