This talks about it. Not very happy reading though - mercury exposure!!! :o

With no family allergies I would personally say the odd bit of shrimp should be OK. Some say wait if you can though.

DD has been eating loads of seafood including prawns and squid and even muscles since we went to a scottish island on holiday and she wanted to eat all the fish I ate.  she has never reacted badly and she loves it so she has some sort of fish about 3 times a week.

Hi,
Thanks Emma, lots of info on that site which was useful.
Thanks Em, Our lo's are roughly the same age, we love shellfish and prawns and mussels seem such great, healthy fingrfood.
Will give him some early ish in day to see if there is reaction.
