Before complementary food, the baby is absolutely forbidden to eat food. In addition to breast milk or formula milk, the baby who has just added complementary food can eat some sweet fruits, but it is absolutely forbidden to add seasonings. For babies under 1 year old, it is recommended not to put condiments and keep the original taste of food as much as possible. Babies after 1 year old should also try to have less oil, less salt and less sugar. Some parents think that "children's soy sauce" is specially made for children and is often used as a condiment for babies. But in fact, I remember that many parenting books say that the baby's diet before the age of one should be as little as possible; In order to make the baby's diet light, some families prepare meals for their children separately. But I think this is not entirely true; And for the sake of convenience.

soy sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and chicken essence are really delicious if they are put in food, but even adults need to put less, so the baby doesn't have to, because the baby's diet must be "light" and the nutrition is good, so there is no need for miscellaneous seasonings. In fact, breast milk, formula powder and complementary food all contain sodium and chlorine, and the sodium content in normal diet is enough to meet the growth needs of infants. Adding salt to infant complementary food will lead to excessive sodium intake and increase the prevalence of hypertension and heart disease.

The baby can use pure breast milk or formula milk powder before six months, and it is recommended not to put any seasonings, including oil, salt and sugar, in the stage of adding complementary food after six months to one year old. After one year old, you can add a small amount of seasonings, but it is recommended that your baby's food be cooked separately, and you should pay special attention to your baby's food, especially those messy seasonings. Therefore, most of the food I give my baby is original. From six months to one year old, I don't need to put any condiments or salt.

There are also many old people who say that they should eat some salt for their babies. Without salt, they have no strength. We basically have too much salt every day, especially pickles, soy sauce and salt in the north. It is not recommended to add these condiments after the baby has just added complementary food.
