can we give salt to 6 month baby??

A. It is generally not recommended to add salt to the food of a 6-month-old baby. The kidneys of infants are still developing, and their sodium needs are met through breast milk or formula. Introducing salt too early can strain their immature kidneys. Exclusive breastfeeding or formula feeding provides all the necessary nutrients, including sodium, for the first six months of life. When you start introducing solid foods around 6 months, it's best to offer plain, single-ingredient foods without added salt or sugar. Consult with your pediatrician before introducing any new foods or seasonings to your baby's diet. They can provide guidance based on your baby's individual needs and ensure that the introduction of solid foods aligns with their developmental readiness.
