Infants and young children do not need to eat extra salt
According to the "Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2007)" and foreign guidelines, infants are advised not to eat salty foods but to eat plain foods within the first year of life. For babies from June to December, 350 milligrams (mg) of sodium are needed daily. Milk and other complementary foods contain sodium needed by the human body. Under normal circumstances, normal eating babies can fully absorb enough sodium to meet physiological needs. Some mothers think: The baby does not like the complementary food because the complementary food is not tasteful and it is not tasty. In fact, we use adult tastes to measure children's taste and impose adult taste habits on babies.
How much salt do children eat?
According to the latest edition of the “Daily Dietary Reference Intakes of Chinese Residentsâ€, infants 1-3 years old need 700 mg of sodium (equivalent to 1.8 g of salt) per day, 350 mg more than babies aged 6-12 months. However, under normal circumstances, it is entirely possible to obtain enough sodium from food, such as milk, staple foods, meat, green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Therefore, in the feeding of infants and young children, do not add sodium salt before the age of 3, so that the baby can better taste the taste of natural food, and can reduce the incidence of future high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

However, if possible, it is recommended that children aged 1-3 should eat as little salt or salt as possible, so that the baby can develop a good habit of light diet.
Children aged 4-6 need approximately 900mg of sodium per day (equivalent to 2.3g of salt). In addition to the sodium contained in the food itself, the portion of sodium that must be obtained through salt is not much, and 1-2g of salt is enough. The salt content of children over 6 years of age is best controlled at 3-5 grams of salt.
There are no special circumstances. Children are not allowed to eat salt within 1 year of age. Children between 1-3 years old eat as little salt or salt as possible. Even if the child is 3 years old and adults are together, cooking should still take into account the taste of the child. To make children's tastes closer to adults, heavy tastes may continue.
