We start feeding infant food from around the age of 18 months, when the weaning and munching stages are over. This is a very important time to help children realize that eating is fun and to help them form good eating habits.
This time, we will introduce a meal for young children using cold mullet.
This recipe uses fillets with the bones removed, so even young children can eat fish safely.
We use products that have been treated to remove the fishy smell, so they are recommended for children who are not very fond of fish!
