my daughter is 9 1/2 months old. is it o.k. to feed her grilled salmon?

Question

it's not seasoned heavily just dill sauce (not like dill pickle) it's creamy sauce

Answer 1

I was told by my Dr. to avoid fish until my son turns 2 for allergy purposes...

Answer 2

I would say yes, only because my daughter (who is now 3) has been eating everything from day one. She started eating solids at almost 2 months.
My only concern is with the Mercury. Salmon is suppose to be very high in Mercury which would be majorly bad on a baby's small system.

Answer 3

My own personal opinion is that the very best thing for a child until at least one year is breast milk only. It has all the nutrients required to produce good teeth and a healthy start to life. I also personally believe that we create many of the food allergies in our children by giving them other kinds of food too soon, such as milk and wheat products.

However, the "experts" have this to say:

"While continuing to give 3-4 feedings of breast milk or formula (24-32 ounces) and 4 or more tablespoons of cereal, vegetables and fruit one or two times each day, you can now start to give more protein containing foods. These include well-cooked, strained or ground plain meats (chicken, beef, turkey, veal, lamb, boneless fish, or liver), mild cheese, peanutbutter, or egg yolks (no egg whites as there is a high chance of allergic reactions in infants less than 12 months old). If using commercially prepared jars of baby food, do not use vegetables with meat as they have little meat and less protein and iron than jars with plain meat. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and increase to 3-4 tablespoons once each day. If your baby doesn't seem to like to eat plain meat, then you can mix it with a vegetable that they already like as you offer it. " Source: http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/infant/infantnutrition.html

The very best advice I can give you is listen to your gut. Parents are given instincts about their children and every child is different. I would say that if you are concerned enough to ask, your guts are telling you no.

Answer 4

should be okay, but only a small amount as fish including tuna is very high in mercury. I would not myself feed a baby that young fresh fish like this, cause it could cause the discoloring of skin called vetiligo, you know, the big white sopts on the skin, if you drink milk within a few hours of eating the fish, so its best to ask the babys doctor.

Answer 5

Try a small piece and see how she does with it. Fish is nice a flaky, it wouldn't be like giving her a steak or a porkchop to gnaw on. I imagine she will do okay. She might not like the sauce, my daughter was always weird about gravy and sauces.

Answer 6

I started feeding my daughter salmon at about that same age. She LOVED it and still does. She's 16 months old.

Answer 7

Why stop there? Take her to the Golden Corral and let her snack on some country fried steak and gravy, and mashed taters, emm hmm. Good Luck!

Answer 8

I wouldn't, salmon is full of mercury. Because it's top of it's own little food chain, it builds up lots of minerals that can be dangerous. Tuna is the same. Although adults can eat it, it can cause problems for small children because they have weaker bodily systems. Even adults shouldn't eat fish too much. It can be dangerous.

Answer 9

No don't feed that to her. To much for a 9 month old baby.

Answer 10

I agree remove the skin and make sure its small enough for her not to get choked on, and honestly babies are turned on to more sweet things, I don't think she/he will like it...But all babies are different Good Luck with it tho!
