Yes, you can give fish, and as Sharon said, wait for a while before giving milk (Just as you should with any and all other food). You can try surmai (kingfish). sharon replied. just wait for atleast an hr before after u have feed fish, before u bf .
Also research on the net and see the mercury levels in different fishes and accordingly decide which to feed the little one. Sardines are very good with high amounts of dha and omega3 . But pls dont feed ur kid any canned fish for atleast a yr from now. Start of with fresh fish only. Steamed/boiled is the best.
I first time i fed my kid fish, marinated the fish with just a pinch of salt and turmeric and few drops of lime juice and steamed it.You can also boil the same
