ExpertRamya RamachandranNutritionist4 years agoA. Dear ma’am, that’s because babies do meet their requirement for salt and sugar through breast milk itself and also naturally present in fruits and veggies. Whatever additional you add is a load on their growing kidneys. Hence advisable not to add before one year.
