Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is not only a seasoning in people's daily lives, but frequent consumption of salt is also beneficial for physical recovery. But for babies, eating too much salt will only increase the burden on the body, so babies before the age of one should not consume too much salt. So what are the symptoms of babies eating too much salt?
1. Urine turns yellow. If a baby takes too much salt, sodium ions will exist in their body fluids. For example, a baby's urine may turn yellow. Normally, a baby's urine should be colorless. If the urine turns yellow, it can only indicate that the baby has too much salt
2. The secretion of saliva in the mouth is low. If you consume too much salt, the most direct reaction is that it will cause thirst. The salty taste will suppress the saliva secretion in the baby's mouth, resulting in the inability to produce saliva in the mouth and tongue.
3. Rapid weight gain. If a baby gains weight too quickly over a period of time, it is also a sign of excessive salt intake. Therefore, if mothers notice a sudden increase in their baby's weight, they should try to reduce their salt intake.
4. Lips peeling. The sodium in salt can consume a large amount of the baby's body's original water, and the lack of body water can cause the baby's lips to peel.
5. Swelling condition. When the human body consumes excessive salt, it will add extra burden to the kidneys, which can lead to edema. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the amount of salt consumed by babies every day.
