I am not sure how it will go down because of the texture, so I'll update post dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-87225 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:57:58 +0000 808love 87225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 7 months. I gave her salmon, tuna, and tonight was the first try at sardines. She loves fish but I try to limit it to twice a week b/c of the mercury. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-86281 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 03:30:38 +0000 BoogieBea 86281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't given our LO shellfish at all yet. But we've given him steamed salmon starting 7 or 8 months. He loved it and has always liked fish over meat. He doesn't like salmon as much anymore though. Now, we buy frozen tilapia filets and just pan fry it with a little but of oil and sea salt. Or we'll get a fresh trout from whole foods, pan fry as well. I love that it's such a quick meal to prepare for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-86243 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 21:43:38 +0000 cupcakemama 86243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at about 7 months. We were having salmon for dinner so I cut of a piece for LO's lunch the next day. I just cooked it on the bbq. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85878 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:33:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 85878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: we eat them all the time!!! sooooo good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85874 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:29:10 +0000 venice4504 85874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We head to Hawaii at the end of the month so he's getting fish there for the first time. He'll be almost 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85822 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:00:19 +0000 chopsuey 85822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started giving my LO fish at around 6 months, but she doesn't like it very much. I think it's the texture. I've made white fish for her.. I usually broil or bake it. She's had salmon too but isn't a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85815 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:53:28 +0000 looch 85815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fish goes down better than meat in our house!</p> <p>I haven't started with shellfish yet, waiting on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85810 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:46:22 +0000 heffalump 85810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Whatever works for you! I only had to do that with my MIL once.... she told me that there was nothing wrong with LO when I told her that I thought she had reflux. She thought she was just being fussy. She was way more than fussy. I'm pretty sure even after the doctor conifirmed it she didn't believe me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85808 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:43:46 +0000 Mrs. Bee 85808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it was definitely after one. i regularly pack dr praeger's fish sticks into charlie's lunch. they are fish shaped! they are pricey but healthier than normal fish sticks...</p> <p><a href="http://www.drpraegers.com/Lightly-Breaded-Fishies-P564C52.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.drpraegers.com/Lightly-Breaded-Fishies-P564C52.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85804 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:34:57 +0000 Andrea 85804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: i had heard 2 years old so i am waiting until then. 2 more months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85800 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:33:44 +0000 Rubies 85800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I think shellfish is a big no-no until at least after age 1.

But we haven't done shellfish yet. That is my question ... another thread??? Haha. I don't want to create too many. </p> <p>*****When do you introduce shellfish??**** </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85795 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:30:41 +0000 Rubies 85795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: No way! She thinks she knows better than doctors! So annoying. I just ignore her, which annoys her. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85791 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:29:06 +0000 heffalump 85791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Don't let her pressure you, it's your baby you get to make the decisions! Would telling her that it's doctor's advice because you don't want her to get any allergies help at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85788 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:27:33 +0000 Rubies 85788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: See, that's what I thought. But MIL keeps pressuring me! She said she gave hubs fish as a first food! I'm like, "whaat?"</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: They sound so yummy - I want to eat them myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85785 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:25:36 +0000 mrs. wagon 85785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The fish sticks from Costco are one of RJ's regular dinners. They are prepared with whole fish filets (instead of ground up fish) and have very little breading so I love them for him. He absolutely loves them. He eats 4 fishsticks, which is the recommended serving on the bag...! When my MIL was watching him she said he ate 5... haha. We stop at 4. I think we started feeding them to him around 20 months? I don't know why we waited until then... no particular reason.</p> <p>They are expensive, but I think worth it for a good dinner that's ready in 2 minutes. We sometimes get home close to 6pm and we need a dinner that's ready to go immediately. We usually serve it with some cold pasta and applesauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85784 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:25:15 +0000 heffalump 85784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doctor said no fish until she's one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-85777 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:19:38 +0000 Rubies 85777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is another thing. My MIL is starting to ask why I haven't given LO any fish yet. To be honest, I always thought of fish as a food to give later on. </p> <p>Thoughts? What fish? How to prepare? </p>
