Salmon for babies

  • From 6 months
  • Allergen

You can introduce salmon once your baby shows signs of being ready for solids, usually around 6 months. Current guidance allows allergenic foods, including fish, to be offered from the very start of solids once your baby is developmentally ready.

Salmon provides protein, fat, and iron.

Choking risk

Fish should be fully cooked and checked carefully for bones. Even small bones can be dangerous. Match the texture to your child’s stage: offer fish as soft flakes or small soft pieces. Always stay with your child while they eat.

Allergies

Fish is one of the major food allergens. A reaction can happen even the first time your baby tries it.
