A. no egg till 9 months, Salt will be a burden on the tiny kidneys and the kidney’s will not be able to function properly due to the excessive load. And babies get required amount of salt from regular diet and bm. You can make your baby food more interesting and tasty by adding spices appropriate to the age of the baby. Sugar is refined by lot of chemical processes which may be harmful to children. Excess sugar may cause caries andtooth decay in children. Excess of sugar may depress immunity. And leads to obesity, diabetes. You can add natural sweetener in baby food- Any fruit can be added to baby food to make them naturally sweet Dates Syrup (After 8 months) Honey (After 1 year)

A. hi 1.you can offer egg after age of 8 months. 2.yes you can add pinch of salt.i mean in very very small quantity. please be careful while adding salt because young babies don't have fully developed digestive system so their kidneys can not cope up with extra amount of salt.
