From the title you must be thinking that its crazy!!! How can eating fish early in life can protect you from allergies? But recent studies carried out in sweden have given results which might give you answer. They have followed up almost 3000 children from birth to 4 years of age and their results clearly suggest that those who start eating fish before the age of one year are at low risk of developing Asthma, nasal allergies and other allergic conditions.

As such this study does not mean that eating fish directly protects from allergies but itonly helps when it is consumed before the age of 1 year. Omega 3 fats in fish supports development of immune system in body is evident from this study.

There was earlier study done on pregnant women also suggested that those who have taken fish pills during pregnancy also had reduced allergic problems. Now question is when and how to start this supplement. But in general one can start solid food after 6months of age.

Conclusion is that Omega 3 fat in fish has strong anti inflammatory property and also supports developmen of immune system.
