My son is 6+ months, we are planning to start rice after 2 months. Elders suggestions are to start while starting rice is to introduce ghee+pinch salt along with rice. But doctors say avoid salt upto 1year. Can I add pinch of salt to his diet when he is 8+ months?

A. no dear, don't add salt at 8 month as well. Salt will be a burden on the tiny kidneys and the kidney’s will not be able to function properly due to the excessive load. And babies get required amount of salt from regular diet and bm.
