Can a five-month-old baby eat salt?

A: Generally, 8-month-old babies can add a little salt. Premature salt addition in 5 months will affect the development of baby's renal function. Now is the stage for the baby to practice swallowing function and adapt to the complementary food period. Mainly add liquid food, such as rice flour, fruit juice, vegetable yolk, etc. When adding egg yolk, the steamed eggs will be taken out, and the egg yolk will be added in paste. After slowly letting the baby adapt, you can increase the amount.

Salt is composed of elements such as sodium, potassium and chlorine. Because the baby's kidney development is not perfect, if there is too much salt in the complementary food, it will be a burden to the child's body and kidneys. In addition, I have been used to salty food since I was a child, and it is difficult to correct this bad habit when I grow up. So/kloc-babies under 0/year-old don't need to add salt and any condiments in their food.

Babies need little salt. The salt in natural food can meet the needs of the baby. Extra salt will affect the baby's absorption of trace elements, leading to the baby's lack of trace elements. Moreover, the baby's kidney development is not perfect enough to penetrate too much salt. If too much salt is added to the complementary food, it will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and increase the burden on the heart, thus damaging the kidney and heart function. Moreover, the eating habits of heavy salt in youth are not easy to correct, and the eating habits of heavy salt are easy to cause diseases such as high blood pressure.

At the same time, the baby's taste buds are very sensitive, and the natural taste of food is delicious. At this time, children eat natural food is the best choice. If children are exposed to artificial condiments too early, it will affect the process of children's taste development.

If you want to season your baby's food, mothers don't have to add artificial seasoning. What should you do? Mothers can mix some natural foods reasonably, which can also make delicious food. For example, when making custard for your baby, you can put some chopped shrimp skins (people who are allergic to prawns should not use this method), so that the custard will taste more delicious. When cooking porridge, you can put some lean meat, vegetables, yam, red dates or sweet potatoes in rice porridge, which not only tastes better, but also makes children's nutritional intake more comprehensive and balanced.
