Q: How old can baby’s complementary food be salted?

A: For babies under 1 year old, the natural salt contained in breast milk or formula milk and complementary foods is enough to meet the needs of the baby, and there is no need to add more salt to the baby.

Excessive intake of salt or sodium will impose a burden on the baby’s body, such as increasing the burden on the baby’s heart and kidney, affecting the baby’s absorption of calcium, so as to result in the baby to feel that other foods are tasteless, picky and partial.
