Questions parents ask

Can babies eat salmon?

Yes. Cooked salmon is a great source of omega 3, protein and vitamin D. Babies can have up to 2 portions of oily fish a week for girls, and up to 4 for boys.

Can babies have smoked salmon?

It is high in salt, so it is best kept for older children and adults, or given only occasionally in small amounts.
