Can a baby who is four months old eat dried sea bass?

Patient's question:

Can a four-month-old baby eat dried sea bass, which is natural and not salty, by boiling it in soup for him to drink? Will it be harmful if he eats it? I'm worried because my child has eaten it many times.

Doctor's answer:

The absorption function and growth of a baby who is more than four months old are not yet very good. Meat is not easily absorbed, so it is best to wait until after six months to introduce it. Although stewed fish is relatively easy to absorb, it contains many seasonings and additives, so it is best not to give it to the child. Since the amount consumed is not large, it will definitely not cause too much interference. At four months, complementary foods can be introduced, still based on egg custard, rice porridge, and vegetable puree. Around six months, fruit puree and meat puree can be provided.
