Mom of a 4 yr 9 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

I have asked this earlier too, asking again as I have got different responses. Is it advisable to use a negligible amount of salt in baby food? My baby's pediatrician said we can add a very tiny amount so that taste buds develop. However, I have had others say its not good for kidneys. Lately, we started giving mashed rice and a very tiny amount of salt is added to her food. Should we discontinue salt??
