Cod has high nutritional value and its meat is delicious with few spines, making it suitable for babies to eat and easy to absorb. However, because babies are relatively young, they should pay attention to eating in moderation. Overeating can easily lead to gastrointestinal problems in babies. And many novice mothers are not very familiar with how to feed their babies, so how often is it good for babies to eat cod?
Generally speaking, it is best for babies to eat cod about three times a week. Cod contains 20.4 grams of protein and 0.5 grams of fat per 100 grams of meat, and is rich in nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, selenium, etc. Its meat is white, fine, fresh, and tender, with a clear and non greasy taste. In addition, cod liver is large and high in oil content, rich in vitamins A and D, making it a raw material for extracting cod liver oil.
When making it, pay attention to washing the surface of the cod, peeling and removing the fish bones. Do not add any seasonings, then steam it in a steamer and press it into cod paste to feed the baby. If you feel that your baby is resistant to the fishy smell, you can put some chopped green onions and shredded ginger under and on the surface of the fish to help remove the fishy smell.
However, it should be noted that when feeding cod to babies, it is best to wait until the baby is one year old before consuming it. At this time, the baby's immune and digestive systems are well-developed and can accept fish meat. But if the baby's family has a history of allergies, and the allergens are pollen, asthma, food, etc., they can wait until the baby is three years old to consume cod.
