Is it true that we can’t give sugar and salt till the age of one year to babies? I am very concern about the diet of my baby and I don’t want her to give any unnecessary food that will impact my baby’s health.

A. Dear mum, you can add little bit of sugar to your baby’s food. But, you should not add salt till 1 year. The salt requirements for babies less than 1 year are nil.
