Do we need to add salt for baby's complementary food?

We ternd to eat meals inside the appropriate salt, but most of the childcare doctors are repeatedly reminding parents, before the child is one year old, do not let the child eat salt! This reminder has left many parents wondering why they can't eat salt. We often believe that children have no strength without salt, right?

Actually, the reason why humans eat salt is to let the body absorb enough sodium, and infants can get enough sodium from milk powder. Thus, there is no need to eat salt specifically. Besides, infants and young children under one year old do not have a perfect taste, they can not eat too much taste when they eat, even without adding salt, for children, complementary food is still very delicious food.

In this regard, not only should children under one year of age avoid salt, but children over one year of age do not need to forcibly add salt to their diet. After knowing that the purpose of eating salt is to supplement sodium, some parents began to worry that no salt will lack sodium? Certainly not. In our daily lives, many foods are rich in sodium components. Hence, as long as the child's diet is normal, there is no need to forcibly add salt, let alone sodium deficiency.
