@whattoexpect: Shellfish should always be cut into small pieces (no bigger than the size of a pea) with the hard outer shell or tail completely removed. Whole shrimp, large pieces and the firm, stringy texture of many types of shellfish are hard to chew and could get lodged in your child’s throat, posing a choking risk to babies and young toddlers. Foods like lobster, crab and shrimp are common allergens, so talk to your healthcare provider before introducing it to your little one. 🦐🦀🦞 Learn more about baby's first foods with the What to Expect app. Tap the link in bio to download. 💜 #firstfoodforbaby #firstfoodsforbaby #babyfirstfood #babyfoods #babyledweaning #babyledweaningtips #parentsoftiktok #blw #foodintroduction #introtosolids #babynutrition #shellfish #shrimp #lobster #crab #scallop
