For most babies, doctors recommend waiting until 9 months to introduce fish (like salmon) and 12 months before trying shellfish (like prawns, clams, and lobster). Shellfish, are among the top foods that cause allergies -- waiting until your baby's immune system is more developed can reduce his risk of a reaction. If your baby has chronic eczema or a food allergy, talk to the doctor first before giving your baby shellfish. http://www.parents.com/advice/babies/feeding/when-can-my-baby-eat-fish-and-shellfish/
