what fish is great to give 6 month olds?

[lionbeast]

salmon? sea bass? tuna? tuna steaks not in tins

or is it best to introduce chicken and beef 1st ?

I used to mash cod or salmon into potato

I started ds with lemon sole, just steamed very gently, is delicate and very mild flavour. He still likes it now (17mths)

Lemon Sole or Whiting here as no bones (or very very soft ones if you do manage to find any).

cod loin, no bones at all

According to this list, no fish until 9-10 months

Dont think 6 month olds really need fish, is lots of protein in milk....

not tuna - deep sea fish have traces of heavy metals (which is why they say to restrict intake in pregnancy). they do also say to introduce chicken first for some reason (salt? I don't know), but I don't think there'd be anything wrong with a tiny bit of salmon or white fish.

We tried trout fillets but it can still be boney so you will need to be extra vigilant. Since having our dd1 we have eaten more fish ourselves.

When I was weaning dd, the recommendation was no meat or fish until nine months. I don't know if that's changed now but six months seems really early for thinking about meat.

really i was going to give dd some chicken tomorrow

dd 6m has had chicken and turkey in the last week and loved both. Have I done something realy bad. Was also considering mushing a bit of anchovy on her toast tomorrow. I'm a bad mum aren't I?

In the old days cod, but now we shouldn't eat cod as it's over fished, so an alternative such as hake or haddock, may be.Not tuna, and I'd introduce trout/salmon next.

I thought fish and meat was okay from 6 months-ish? Both mine have had it then. I've always used any sort of white fish - cod, haddock, plaice, coley etc.

I gave cod, salmon, plaice and chicken from 6 months onwards. (started at 6 months and quickly progressed) but don't have a clue what the official guidelines state.

I do know that shell fish is older (18months off the top of my head)

I saw the post title and thought "goldfish"
!

Think anchovy is prob a bit too salty for a 6 month old.

Lemon sole always goes down well in my house.

you're right pannnacotta but we've been given a huge tub of anchovies and am trying to get rid.

I'm going to try lemon sole though
