Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. as soon as complementary feeding is started usually sugar and salt is not given to the child and for sweet you can give jaggery and gradually salt is started and added to the food only after one year of age
In COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING start with two rules
Rule number 1 is that you have to give the food in the form which the child can swallow
Rule number 2 is that always give a new food for for 5 to 6 days to see whether the child is able to digest that food or not as well as it will help in creating the taste in the child.
