A mum feeds her two-year-old seafood to make sure she’s not a “fussy” eater – and says the tot loves smoked salmon, mussels and haggis. Erin Archibald, 31, has been giving her daughter Hallie, two, her dinner to try since she was six months old.
Erin and her husband, Charlie, 33, a SEO marketing contractor, use baby-led weaning – which involves jumping straight to finger food and bypassing purees. They give Hallie the same meal as them to try and let her have shellfish from 18 months.
Now Hallie loves prawns, smoked salmon, gherkins, olives and haggis – and has even tried mussels and fish sticks. Erin hopes letting her try the meals will mean she doesn’t grow up “fussy” and will help prevent food allergies.
