two questions....

how many portions of fish can LO have a week? so far he's had 2, someone told me for girls its 2 and boys 4?! i have no idea if that is correct or not??!

also... how long can fish be kept in the freezer, i have 7 mini portions in there for him! i know fruit & veg can be left a while, and ive never frozen meat as it gets eaten within 2 days....

grazie ladies! =)

I kept tuna for a month before giving it to charley. I also freeze pureed meat which normally gets eaten within a month x x

Anyone know why babies can't have fish till they reach 6 months?

I freeze for 3 months. I think about 4 portions a week should be ok. it's to do with mercury levels in oily fish i think, also depends on portion size. Owen eats about 4 portiosn a week, cod, salmon, mackeral and haddock. think oily fish has more of the mercury-so haddock and cod are not counted as oily fish (i think!!)
not advised til 6 months I think as it's a food that has high allergy risks (again, i think!)
hth!
