Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

Poached Salmon

Gluten-free No-added-salt No-added-egg

Ingredients

2 cups unsalted vegetable or fish stock
1 piece of salmon fillet with skin, about ¾ inch thick and weighing 140 g

Stove or oven method:

Put the stock in a medium-size saucepan and bring up to a simmer.

Add the salmon, flesh side down, and cook at a very gentle simmer for 7 minutes.

Turn the salmon over and cook until the fish is opaque all the way through and breaks into large flakes when pressed with a fork, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. (Thicker pieces of salmon may take a few more minutes.)

Transfer the salmon to a plate and let cool slightly before peeling off the skin and scraping away any dark meat (this has a strong flavor that may be a bit much for babies).

Break into large flakes to serve.
