During the processing and production, people add different seasonings to improve the taste of food. Salt is an essential ingredient that can effectively alleviate fatigue and increase sodium levels in the body. Can young children eat salt for a week and a half?
1. Before the baby reaches 6 months old, they are usually fed with breast milk or formula milk without the need for any seasoning. After that, baby teeth begin to sprout gradually, and many parents will add complementary foods in a timely manner. At this time, there is no need to add salt. It is recommended to wait until the baby reaches one year old before eating salt, because eating salt too early can put a certain burden on multiple organs such as the baby's liver and kidneys, affecting their healthy growth.
2. When babies are young, they need less than one gram of salt per day, which can be obtained through breast milk or formula milk. During breastfeeding, the mother's diet should also be reasonable, and attention should be paid to not adding too many seasonings or eating too greasy, which can also cause gastrointestinal diseases in babies after drinking breast milk.
3. When making complementary foods, in order to improve the taste, baby specific products can be used. The oil used is also pure plant-based, avoiding the use of animal fats. The food must be kept fresh and clean. After the vegetables are bought, soak them in light salt water for 20 minutes in advance, and then rinse them repeatedly under a flowing water source. The main method is to steam or boil the soup in a pot to avoid high-temperature frying.
