Salmon or other fish to 6 months baby

Has anyone given salmon to 6 months old baby. Any reaction/ allergy? I introduced solids when my boy turned 5 months and have given fruits, veggies, porridge and baby cereals. So far he has not shown allergy to anything.

You can give him any fish and meat now, but introduce it the same as you would with anything new, just a spoonful to check for reaction, :)

I did and she spat it across the kitchen and spent ages heaving 😂

I gave my daughter various forms of salmon not long after we started her on solids at 6 months and now it's her favorite food! I made my own pureed foods and tried adding cooked flaked salmon to it but it just made the (sweet potato) puree grainy. It was more for introducing the flavor of the fish. Afterwards, we had more success with just mincing or mashing the cooked salmon into mashed foods.
I would add a small drizzle of EVOO or avocado to her purees and mashes for added good fat/calories and to help it be swallowed easier. This may be helpful for foods/fishes that taste on the drier side.
I also ate a lot of salmon and other fish during pregnancy and lactation so she may have already been accustumed to the flavor. Good luck on your salmon journey! It is so essential for babies!

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
