1. Salt is an indispensable food for adults every day, but it is harmful for infants to eat salt too early. Salt is a trivial matter, but it is a big deal for babies. So, how old can a baby eat salt? For babies under one year old, the daily food already contains enough sodium, so babies under one year old should not add salt to the food. At the same time, the baby's taste memory is not much, and he should try the original taste of the food as much as possible instead of the processed taste. More importantly, the baby's taste is very sensitive. Once he has tasted salty food, he will refuse the bland food. This is one reason why he is not willing to drink boiled water after he is used to drinking sugar water. This will also lead to the baby's habit of picky eaters and partial eclipse. For babies over one year old, if they don't resist eating light food, there is no need to follow the tastes of adults. They should continue to make baby food separately.
2. Generally, a baby 6 months ago needs 170 mg of salt every day, but the required salt has been taken from breast milk and no additional supplement is needed. After the baby 1 year old, the daily salt content can be increased in due course. Some salt can be added to the food to improve his appetite, but if the food contains enough sodium, it is not necessary to add salt. When children can really eat salt like adults, they are 4-6 years old. At this time, salt can be added according to the taste of adults, which is conducive to his better growth. Therefore, for the baby who has just eaten complementary food, Ma Bao tries not to contain salt when making complementary food, and tries not to contain salt when choosing noodles. Although they don't contain salt, they are not lacking in taste and nutrition, which can fully meet the needs of babies.
Babies aged 3.4-6 need about 2.3 grams of salt every day. Remove the sodium contained in the food itself and add salt1-2g every day. Over 6 years old, the daily salt intake can gradually increase to 3 ~ 5 grams. Of course, if children are allowed to eat adult meals with adults at this stage, it is even more important to pay attention. Because adults are older and taste buds are not as sensitive as children, it is common to put more salt in cooking. It must be noted that children and adults have different needs for salt.
