When giving fish to babies, here are the signs you should watch for:
Immediate allergic reactions (within first 2 hours):
- Swelling in lips, tongue, or face
- Hives/itchy red bumps (especially around mouth)
- Difficulty breathing, wheezing
- Vomiting
Delayed reactions (2 hours to 1-2 days):
- Redness or eczema-like rash on skin
- Diarrhea, bloody mucus in stool
- Fussiness, belly pain
- Stomach cramps
Practical tip: On first try give only 1-2 small teaspoons of puree, at midday — so you can observe throughout the day. Don't add any other new foods, so if there's a reaction you know the cause.
When to go to emergency: If you notice difficulty breathing, swelling in face/lips, overall weakness, or loss of consciousness, go to the emergency room without delay.
