After a baby is born, any part of the body is exceptionally delicate, and some organs are not fully developed, so babies must pay special attention to what they eat. Mothers also need to pay special attention not to give their babies salt before the age of one. So, can babies eat salt when they are one year old?
Babies can eat salt when they are one year old. The reason why babies cannot eat salt within one year old is that their kidney development is not yet fully developed. If they consume sodium salt, it may be detrimental to their kidney development, causing a great burden on their kidneys and damaging their physical health.
As the baby gradually grows up, they will soon reach one year old. By the time the baby is one year old, the development of their kidneys is relatively complete, and they can eat some salt at this time. But just because you can eat salt, you can eat it freely. At the age of one, babies' kidney function is still relatively weak. Even if they can eat salt, it is necessary to limit their salt intake in a timely manner. It is best not to exceed two grams per day, otherwise it may cause a burden on the baby's kidneys.
In fact, in daily life, many foods may seem to have no salt, but there is still a certain amount of salt, such as seafood which contains a lot of salt, or noodles which also contain a lot of salt. So when mothers make food for their babies, they must be especially careful not to damage their little kidneys.
