A 9-month-old baby can eat tuna in small amounts, but there are some important points to consider. Canned tuna is generally divided into two types—"light" and "albacore" (white) — light tuna has a lower mercury content and should be preferred. Before giving it to your baby, it should be mashed well into a puree consistency, with no added salt or oil (canned in water or cooked in its own juice). A small serving once a week (one to two teaspoons) is generally accepted as a limit. When trying it for the first time, watch for signs of allergic reaction (redness, rash, difficulty breathing). It's always a good idea to confirm with your pediatrician.
