I do give it to my oldest, she is 4.5 now, I think we started giving it to her between 2.5/3 due to family history of allergies.  I limited it to once every week for canned tuna or salmon.

Always have and still do.  Fantastic with pickle and light mayo in a wrap for LO's.   Try to choose light tuna vs white tuna as it has lower mercury levels.  We eat it once to twice a week.  We also love Mackerel.

We love it with mayo, but I also have a wacky tuna salad which involves mayo, honey mustard, pickles or relish, and pineapple...sounds gross but we love it!  Great in a sandwich or a wrap, but Masyn will eat tuna straight from the can if we let her.

My LO is just over a year and I am trying to find high iron foods that he'll like.  I thought tuna would be a good option if he isn't too little.

We love tuna here - its a fave of DD's.  We started giving it on sandwiches and baked potatoes (with a little mayo) around 14 months i think.

Fed it to them both. One of my go to foods as it they both like it so much.
I always get water packed and light to minimise any contaminants.

When little I mixed canned tuna in with cold mashed potato.  Made into patties, coated in flour then egg then breadcrumbs to make great tuna fishcakes.  Less intense.
