Fish is great for your baby

I love working with fish and in fact it is one of the things that i am best known for. Fish are highly nutritional and eating fish 2 times a week is recommended for both adults and children. Fish contain protein, are low in "bad" fats and contain Essential Fatty Acid (EFA's) - Omega-3 fatty acids.

 

The Omega 3 fatty acids that fish have are

• EPA
• DHA

These EFA's are not found in any other protein source, not even in meat or plants.

EFA's found in fish and fish oil products help fight off both physical and mental diseases. It has been suggested, and some studies show, that fish oil (or other foods that contain Omega 3's) may even help alleviate ADHD or eczema. Getting these EFA's from fish itself is better than consuming fish oil supplements.

I am a stong believer that fish should be introduced to a babies diet from 6 months. I therefore created Zilli Fishy Dishy (pictured) which is a fantastic recipe with salmon, potato and peas. It tastes great and for all of the reasons explained above it is great for babies.
