He f*ckin LOVED it...the mess under his highchair was certainly minimal that time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711472 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:31:20 +0000 Freckles 711472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Mine doesn't like melted cheese either! I gave fish at 8 months. She likes salmon and halibut, dislikes tilapia, and loves the white fish (no idea what kind of fish it is) in congee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711469 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:29:29 +0000 Weagle 711469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9.5-10 months... I don't really remember. She kind of just ignores it when we put it on her plate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711465 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:27:54 +0000 winniebee 711465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loves salmon! We have it about once a week at home and he pretty much eats what we eat. He tried it probably around 9 months and he's 11 months now. We sometimes just do a simple pan fry in olive oil/salt/pepper and he seems to like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711450 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:23:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 711450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: We didn't mix it in with anything, but it did have a little tiny bit of BBQ sauce on it. She loved it, and it was easy to eat since it flakes so nicely. We eat a lot of fish (like, several times a week, usually) so I want to get her started on fish :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711440 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:19:20 +0000 anbanan15 711440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18.5 months but I don't think we are a good judge of when to introduce foods :). We used wild caught Alaskan coho salmon for it's lower mercury and contaminant content. These sites helped me determine which fish to go with since he would be eating it more frequently (has been refusing since December though and salmon is the only fish he has had):<br /> <a href="http://seafood.edf.org/" rel="nofollow">http://seafood.edf.org/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/Product-SpecificInformation/Seafood/FoodbornePathogensContaminants/Methylmercury/ucm115644.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/Product-SpecificInformation/Seafood/FoodbornePathogensContaminants/Methylmercury/ucm115644.htm</a></p> <p>Wild Alaskan salmon and fresh sardines are among the safest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711305 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:31:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 711305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave him salmon I'd made for dinner around 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711293 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:26:34 +0000 Mrsbells 711293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Thats sounds great. I will give it a try and see if LO likes it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711290 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:25:24 +0000 regberadaisy 711290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: yup, we eat fish often so I'll just give her that with whatever else we're having. Or I cut up a fillet into smaller portions for the evenings when there's no leftovers to pack for her lunch. Or for a quick lunch for her &amp; I on Saturdays.</p> <p>I made this 2 Saturdays ago for our lunch.</p> <p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/mavee/HB/77c3f340995911e2905222000aaa031b_7.jpg" alt=" photo 77c3f340995911e2905222000aaa031b_7.jpg" /> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711284 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:23:45 +0000 Mrsbells 711284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: oh cool thats sounds yummy.</p> <p>@regberadaisy: Oh I see you just mix it in with her regular meals? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711279 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:22:44 +0000 kiddosc 711279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I gave him some leftover tuna casserole. So it had noodles, peas, mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711278 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:22:30 +0000 regberadaisy 711278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M LOVES fish! She had her first taste of daddy's smoked salmon at around 7 months and it's by far her favorite food. We make fish for her often bc it's a good source of protein &amp; iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711277 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:22:07 +0000 Mrsbells 711277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: haha.. my baby loves cheese too but she isnt a fan of melted cheese... Is your baby able to chew it? For some reason my baby only wants raw shredded cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711273 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:20:52 +0000 mrsjazz 711273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had tuna for the first time this week. She loved it (well, it was a tuna melt, so I think she just loved the cheese). She had flounder about a month ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711272 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:20:52 +0000 Mrsbells 711272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @kiddosc: Oh ok cool... did you mix it in with anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711267 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:18:24 +0000 kiddosc 711267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave E tuna for the first time last week at 10.5 mo. old. Chunk light tuna has lower mercury levels than some of the other varieties. He wasn't really a fan though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711266 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:17:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 711266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO ate a couple bites of sockeye salmon the other night; she's just turned 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-fish-to-your-lo#post-711255 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:15:54 +0000 Mrsbells 711255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age did your LO first have fish and what kind? I want to give my LO tuna she will be 12 months next week. Just wondered when other moms introduced it </p>
