Have you given LO tuna yet? If so, regular or albacore? Did you LO like it?

    I have given him it, but I try to keep it a once in a blue moon type of thing because of the mercury. We usually buy the albacore, but I know he had a tuna sandwich at daycare the other day, I'm pretty sure they were using the cheap stuff. He likes it, but he'll eat anything

    No, we haven't due to the high mercury. Our pedi also highly recommended against it.

    Only once and just a small amount. We live in a fishing town where we can get fish right off the boat so we have not had the need for canned tuna much. I think the chunk light tuna is lower in mercury.

    Yeah, I forgot that little tidbit from pregnancy days. I'll have to remind DH, he eats a ton of tuna, and has been staying home with DS a couple days a week, so I'm sure he will be getting it a little more often. I'll look for that wild planet brand too.

    Albacore has a higher mercury content. Go for light. Or canned salmon from Alaska, which is usually sustainably caught and low in mercury. There is a company out there called Wild Planet, which sustainably catches their seafood and is mostly low in mercury. I've bought canned products from them.


    S loves tuna salad. I have also made little salmon cakes as well.
    I've been looking for a good recipe for salmon cakes! Please share!

    I've only given tuna once. It was canned light tuna packed in water (bumblebee or starkist?) It wasn't a hit. But I'll probably try again soon.

    At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
