POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It is not recommended to add salt to an infant's meals, especially for babies under one year of age. Infants' kidneys are not fully developed and cannot process excess sodium effectively. Introducing salt too early can put a strain on their kidneys and potentially lead to long-term health issues such as high blood pressure.
Breast milk or formula contains all the necessary sodium that a baby needs. When you start introducing solid foods, it's best to offer naturally flavorful foods without adding salt or sugar. Instead, you can use mild herbs or spices, like cinnamon or garlic powder, in very small amounts to enhance the flavor of the food without adding salt.
If you have any concerns or need guidance on starting solids for your baby, it's always a good idea to consult your pediatrician.
