DD is six months old and a BLW-er. Any reason why I can't offer DD some?

cooked seafood is ok from 6 months so you could try her with them

No reason at all. DS has always liked scallops

Thank you guys. I didn't try her with them that night but will next time. Theyre perfect finger food aren't they

They have to be cooked through though, which IMO makes it hardly worthwhile eating Smile

You're right it's not worth serving chewy scallops! Do they really have to be cooked til chewy?

With a six month old I really think you need to be a bit careful about food poisoning, I wouldn't serve anything rare to such a little one.

Sorry.

Right yes it needs to be cooked all the way through which I guess means chewy. Ah well just an idea. I'll have a think about this one as I'd really like to add lots of easy to eat seafood and fish to DD's diet

That is going to be my new all-time favorite thread title.
