Can a 6-month-old baby drink breast milk after eating fish?
⚡ Short answer: Fish is one of the high-allergy-risk foods for 6-month-olds, so like every new food introduced for the first time, fish should be tried alone, in small amounts, on a separate day from other new foods (3-5 day waiting rule).

Fish is one of the high-allergy-risk foods for 6-month-olds, so like every new food introduced for the first time, fish should be tried alone, in small amounts, on a separate day from other new foods (3-5 day waiting rule). Giving breast milk right after fish is fine — it may actually be comforting. There's no waiting period between fish and breast milk as long as there's no allergic reaction (rash, lip/skin swelling, vomiting, fussiness, difficulty breathing). Only if an allergic sign appears (swelling, rash, breathing trouble) should you seek help immediately; otherwise, fish and breast milk can follow each other without pause.
