meeta agarwalMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Hello mommy, Sugar and salt are not required for babies under 1 year. The truth is, adding salt to baby's food may be dangerous. There can be many risk factors, if we include sugar and salt in infant's diet. Babies have a delicate system and salt may effect their kidneys
The maximum recommended amount of salt for babies and children is: up to 12 months – less than 1g of salt a day (less than 0.4g sodium) 1 to 3 years – 2g of salt a day (0.8g sodium) 4 to 6 years – 3g of salt a day (1.2g sodium)
