A. don't add. can add once he complete 1 year. 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.

A. Hello dear parent! Ideally salt and sugar should be introduced only after one year completion. It reduces food assimilation. If you are still concerned then a pinch only should be added. Gradually include all food groups in your child’s diet that is healthy and staple in your family. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug daily massage oil.
