The baby's complementary food should maintain the original taste. It is not recommended to add sugar, salt or condiments, because the baby's liver and kidneys have not yet fully developed. If too much salt is added, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. Baby food supplements, such as minced meat, already contain a certain amount of sodium, so they can already meet the baby's needs and there is no need to add salt. As for sugar, sugar will only increase children’s energy intake, increase the risk of obesity, and can also cause dental caries in children, so it is not recommended to add sugar. The complementary food should be kept original and light in taste, which will also prevent the baby from being picky eaters in the future. For babies after 2 years old, the amount of salt should also be controlled. For example, the amount of salt for children aged 2-3 should be kept below 2g per day. It is best for children aged 4-5 to keep the amount of salt below 3g per day, which is lower than that of adults. Children cannot be given the amount of salt that adults consume.

The best way to make up for the taste of complementary foods is to use the taste of the ingredients themselves to make a good match.
