How to offer

Strain for a smooth puree; the sweetness of corn makes this a favourite for young babies.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Do not freeze fish purees with dairy.

Nutrition note

Halibut is a stellar source of lean protein and essential minerals like selenium, which supports a healthy immune system. It also contains trace amounts of omega-3 fatty acids that are critical for your baby's brain and eye development.
