POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. It's generally not recommended to give black salt or any type of salt to infants under 12 months of age. Babies have immature kidneys, and their bodies are not equipped to handle large amounts of sodium, which is present in salt.
Introducing salt to a baby's diet too early can strain their kidneys and may increase their risk of developing high blood pressure later in life. Additionally, offering salty foods at a young age can alter a baby's taste preferences and make them more inclined to prefer salty foods in the future.
Breast milk or formula provides all the sodium a baby needs in the first year of life. As your baby transitions to solid foods around 6 months of age, it's best to offer homemade or commercially prepared baby foods without added salt. You can enhance the flavor of baby foods with herbs, spices, or natural flavors instead of salt.
If you have any concerns about your baby's diet or nutritional needs, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance and recommendations based on your baby's age, development, and health status.
