Q.

#asktheexperts why should we avoid salt and sugar in solid foods when we start feeding babies from 6 months

1 Answer

Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years ago

A. By avoiding salt and sugar in the early years, you can make sure that your child does not develop salty cravings and sweet tooth. It also helps in reducing the risk of developing diseases like hypertension and diabetes. Too much salt is bad for your baby's kidneys and too much sugar is bad for your baby's emerging teeth.
