Cod is the best first fish for you baby as it is milder to taste and has fewer bones*. It is packed with easily digested protein and is bursting with B-Vitamins too! Flake the cod between your index finger and thumb before serving to ensure no small bones.

*Although it contains less bones, it is still essential to thoroughly check the fish for bones.
