My 12 month old son loves table food and my husband and I often eat fish, mostly salmon, and am curious if this is something that is suitable to feed him at this age. We have a dr. appointment next week, but of course are making fish for dinner tonight and wondering if it would be okay to give him.
one year is the recommendation.
Salmon is low in mercury which is good. My nieces have been eating seafood and fish since they started solids and they have loved it and have not had any problems. Just like any food I would start with a small amount and add a little next time.
I found a really good website for questions like this - I use it alot. It's www.babycenter.com
Wild salmon is much better than farm raised salmon because it is MUCH lower in mercury. Look for low mercury level fish to give him, and try to stay away from shellfish for another year or 2 because it is highly allergenic and his developing immune system may react to it.

My son is turning a year this month... I ahve given him Salmon b4 and he likes it ( then again he loves all food!!) i only give him small amounts not to much i would still give something else just in case but give it a try!
Yes you can give your son salmon, whitefish, talapia, catfish as long as it's boneless. My daughter has been eating salmon since she was about 11 months. It's very healthy for the kids.
