What happens if a baby eats fishfood?

If a baby eats fish food, it is unlikely to cause any serious harm. Fish food is typically made from a variety of ingredients, including fishmeal, shrimp meal, and other grains and vegetables. These ingredients are generally not toxic to humans, but they may not be easily digested by a baby's immature digestive system.

In some cases, eating fish food may cause an allergic reaction in a baby. Symptoms of a food allergy can include rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, difficulty breathing, and vomiting. If your baby experiences any of these symptoms after eating fish food, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.

In addition, fish food may contain bacteria or parasites that can cause illness in humans. These organisms can be harmful to a baby's developing immune system. It is therefore important to avoid giving your baby fish food, even if it is labeled as "safe for human consumption."

If you are concerned that your baby may have eaten fish food, contact your doctor or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
