When giving fish to your baby, being careful about mercury is very right. According to pediatric guidelines, low-mercury fish should be preferred: salmon, sardines, anchovies, trout, sea bass, and hake are safe choices. Avoid shark, swordfish, large tuna species (especially white tuna), and mackerel — these predatory and large fish accumulate more mercury in their bodies.
2-3 servings per week (one serving is about 30-40 grams, about the size of your baby's palm) is considered safe. Cook fish well, remove bones completely, and serve as puree or small pieces. When giving for the first time, start with one type of fish and wait 3-4 days, observing for any signs of allergy.
