Fish bones pose a choking risk; how should I clean and check them when giving fish to my baby?

It's really important to be careful about fish bones when giving fish to babies. The safest method is to cook the fish, then separate it into pieces on a clean plate and check each piece by running your fingertips over it under good light — bones will stick in your fingertips when you feel them. Fileted fish like sea bass, sea bream, and salmon tend to have fewer bones. You could also grind the fish through a food processor and make patties, which keeps the bones from passing through and staying behind — this is also a safe alternative. When offering fish to your baby, it's best to control it by feeding it yourself rather than letting them eat it independently.
