Guiyu's meat is thick and tender, with few fish bones. It contains higher protein quality than grass carp, crucian carp, and carp, and is rich in vitamins, fats, and trace elements. It is a freshwater fish with relatively high nutritional value. But no matter what kind of fish it is, it is beneficial for the development of babies. So, can babies eat mandarin fish?
Firstly, mandarin fish can be fed to babies. Its meat is smooth and tender, and easy to digest. For babies, the elderly, and those who are weak or sick, eating mandarin fish has a nourishing effect and there is no need to worry about indigestion. However, when feeding babies, be careful to remove the spines of the fish and make it into fish paste for them to eat.
Secondly, steaming mandarin fish is a common practice. After killing and washing the mandarin fish, use a knife to cut several lines on both sides of the fish's body, add salt and some seasonings to marinate for about 20 minutes, add ingredients such as scallions and cooking wine, and steam in a pot for 20 minutes. It can also be fried until both sides turn slightly yellow, and then sprinkled with seasonings such as sesame oil.
One more thing, if a baby accidentally swallows fish bones while eating fish, parents should not panic and should not continue feeding or watering the baby. They can use a clean pair of tweezers to open the baby's throat and observe the position of the fish bones. If they can be removed, they should be removed. If the fish bones are deep, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for medical treatment immediately without delay.
