When can baby eat salt

summary

For adults, salt is one of the essential condiments, but not necessarily for infants. Salt is a small thing, but it's a big thing for babies. Now I'll talk about when babies begin to eat salt according to my own experience.

When can baby eat salt

First: for infants under one year old, the daily food already contains enough sodium, so infants under one year old should not add salt to the food.

Second: at the same time, the baby's taste memory does not have a variety of flavors, so we should try our best to let him try the original taste of the food itself rather than the processed taste.

Third: more importantly, the taste of infants is very sensitive. Once they have tried salty food, they will refuse food with lighter taste. This is the same reason that they are not willing to drink boiled water after drinking sugar water. This will also lead to the baby began to form a picky and partial eating habits.

matters needing attention

For infants over one year old, if they do not resist eating lighter food, and it is not necessary to follow the taste of adults, they should continue to make their own baby food.
