Dd is 8 months. Is that too young? Does it contain high levels of bad things? What about sardines and tinned salmon?

i was going to post this too !! dd 8 months and i was wondering too

I was told that it was fine for littlies - just buy tuna in oil, not in brine - too much salt in brine.

you need to get it in spring water, its more expensive but its the best out of the 3.

shop bought mayo is fine as it will have been pasteurised. Tinned tuna is fine from around 6 months - I always used tuna in spring water (although you have to read the labels as some of these still have salt added, as do the ones in oil)
