It's an interesting fact that delaying introduction to allergy inducing foods can cause a child to develop food allergies in the future. Great insight for sure. Thank you for sharing helpful tips on how to introduce fish and shellfish to a baby.

Thank you for this informative video!

1. When introducing different types of fish (eg- salmon, trout, tuna etc), should we consider each type of fish as a different food item with regard to potential to cause allergy?
(Eg- if we give tuna safely for 3 days, should we introduce tilapia as a new food item also?)

2. Is it ok to introduce prawns and cuttlefish at the age of 7 months?

Thank you!

My baby has eczema he is 5 month old, giving him shellfish as the first allergen food is a good idea or not? Should I give him Srishti in a puréed form?

Great info, thank you, excited to implement with our baby! Thank you!

That is good point that fish is soft for baby eating.

hi Doc, how about eating these allergic foods at postpartum? my baby will definitely intake these as breastmilk, I am exclusively breastfeeding. Baby is now 2months old and I noticed when I consumed these types of food his skin has some rashes/acne. Appreciate your kind response. Thanks!
