ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years agoA. Dear mum, prefer to introduce fresh water fishes like rohu, catfish, catla due to low mercury content. Exposure to mercury is not good for babies.
Give li amount in beginning and see how baby tolerates it.

For most babies, fish is fine to introduce at around 6 months (and potentially earlier for babies who start solids at 4 months). It is recommended that fish be introduced between 6 months and one year—even if your family has a history of food allergies.
