Sodium is a trace element in human body. Many people don't know much about sodium. Some parents think that as long as it is a trace element, it should be supplemented. But in fact, the sodium content in the baby's body should not be moderate, too much is not good. So, what is the best content of sodium in infant complementary food?

It is generally not easy to lack sodium in human body, but in some cases, such as fasting, eating less, or repeatedly vomiting and diarrhea, sodium will be discharged and lost excessively, and some diseases will also make people lack sodium. Sodium generally does not need special supplement and intake. The sodium content in infant complementary food should be effectively controlled.

Among them, the intake of all sodium in infant food supplements and milk powder should be controlled between 1 15mg-350g within 6 months. Babies from 6 months to 1 year old are between 250 mg and 750 mg, and babies over 1 year old are between 325 mg and 375 mg. Mothers should pay special attention. In daily life, in addition to paying attention to the labeled sodium content of packaged foods, we should also pay attention to some unlabeled foods and properly control their intake.

Baby's sodium deficiency can be supplemented by eating some foods with high sodium content. Sodium usually exists in all kinds of foods. Generally speaking, animal food is higher than plant food, but human sodium mainly comes from salt and sodium in some processed foods. If the baby is short of sodium, you can give the baby some minced animal meat and appropriate sodium salt. But pay attention to the reasonable intake of sodium.
