From 7 months, am sure you want to explore more on proteins. In the first month of weaning, you must have focused on simple fruits and vegetables. This can be boring for the baby. Fish is a great ingredient to spice up the flavor and the nutrients in the baby’s food. Fish was the first meat I introduced to my baby. Being white meat, it is easy to digest and hence very suitable for weaning.  Further, it is easy to cook, less chewy unlike other meat and can easily be combined with many ingredient for that scrumptious meal that your baby will love. Fish is rich source of protein that your baby needs for growth and development. It is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals and healthy oils. Oily fish in particular contains high level of omega 3 a fatty acid that boost brain development. I think you want your baby to perform well in school…so give fish at least once a week.  HERE ARE FEW RECIPES FOR TODAY!
