Is there any reason why I shouldn't give a 20 month old some smoked salmon?

That's it really.....

I've got loads of the stuff and my dd has adventurous tastes (loves olives, picked onions, stilton).

Just not sure if there might be a reason why I shouldn't.

Ta.

Not to my knowledge. Mine gets it quite often especially in scrambled egg/salads etc.

don't think so - apart from it can be a bit salty.
my dd loves it and has always had wee bits here and there from an early age

go for it.

Doesn't that leave less for you though

Fine as long as you take the salt into account, as smoked foods contain a lot of salt. At 20 months it's not such an issue as for a little one, but you wouldn't want to give them a lot - just a tiny portion can have their whole salt intake for the day.

My DS has been gobbling down smoked salmon since he was about 12 months. He loves it.

On special occasions of course!

dd1 had no allergies we were aware of but came out in full-body hives after eating smoked salmon (xmas day, out-of-hours doc etc). she did the same after having a bit of pepperoni pizza another time too.

they reckoned it was the preservatives not the fish itself. have got some superduper locally-produced-nothing-added smoked salmon this xmas but been waiting till docs etc are on normal working hours before trying it!

i've heard many times that it's usually the second time they have something that they react, not the first.
