What kind of fish is good for infants and young children?

Babies need a variety of nutrients during their growth process, especially their diet should be comprehensive. Many parents let their babies eat more fish during their growth process, which can not only make the baby smarter, but also good for the baby's development. However, when choosing fish, we must not only choose fish with few bones, but also nutritious. Let's take a look at what fish is good for infants and young children?

From the perspective of food safety, some fish without intramuscular bones (commonly known as few bones) are more suitable for children to eat, such as yellow croaker, salmon, pomfret, hairtail, etc. From the perspective of the degree of environmental pollution, naturally grown marine fish are generally less polluted than artificially farmed marine and freshwater fish. Especially when the environmental pollution in artificial breeding areas is serious, children should avoid eating these fish. From the perspective of heavy metal enrichment in the food chain, it is best to choose fish of medium or smaller size. The larger the fish is and the longer its growth period is, the more pollutants will accumulate in its body.

Therefore, when parents choose fish for their children, they do not have to pick out expensive fish. They can use local materials and choose relatively affordable fish, such as mackerel (green catfish), blue catfish (horse mackerel, pond fish, yellow catfish), Spanish mackerel (Spanish mackerel), sardines and other fish. These fish are high in DHA and protein, and have delicious meat. In addition, there are many types of fish and they are produced in many places. When feeding fish to children, there is no need to stick to one or several types of fish. Pay attention to letting your children try different varieties of fish. This will allow children to taste different flavors, comprehensively ingest fish with different nutritional characteristics, and develop good habits of not being picky eaters.

Through the above introduction, we now know what kind of fish is good for infants and young children. The baby's diet must be reasonable, especially the diet must be balanced and the nutrition must be comprehensive. In addition, when the baby eats fish, we must remove the bones cleanly to prevent the baby from getting stuck. Although fish is good, the baby must eat it in moderation.
