Wondering how to introduce your baby to the world of flavors? Fish puree for babies is a fantastic way to incorporate the benefits of fish into their diet. Most expert-suggested healthy diets recommend a good intake of fish due to its heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to promote brain development. If you have fish at home, it’s a good idea to introduce your baby to fish with a fish puree for babies recipe so that she gets used to the taste.
Fish can be introduced after 6 months, if there is a history of family allergy. Otherwise, it’s best to consult your pediatrician first. They can provide specific guidance based on your baby’s individual needs and development. Introducing fish puree allows your little one to experience different flavors and benefit from the nutritional advantages of fish in a gentle and easily digestible form.

Which fish to introduce to baby?
For babies, always choose fish with a low mercury content, like these:
- Salmon (Rawas/Kaala/Kora/Bameen/Surmai)
- Tuna (Soora/Choora/Gedare)
- Catfish (Kelluthi/Jelalu/Walaga/Valia Etta/Kaari/Thede/Teesrya)
- Codfish (Panna/Kalava/Mullan/)
Avoid Canned Fish and always opt for fresh fish. When selecting fish to cook for your baby, choose one with shiny scales, and reddish inner parts. Fish with a single central bone is easier to prepare for babies. Peel the skin, chop into small pieces and remove any small bones if necessary.
