Can babies eat salt?

When babies start to add complementary foods, that is, when they are 4 to 6 months old, they can add very little salt to complementary foods, that is to say, they should eat light mouth and not eat a little salt. At present, there are some sayings that children cannot eat a little salt until they are one year old. This may be wrong. Salt contains an important element in the human body. Its component is sodium, which is also an important factor in maintaining electrolyte balance in the human body. When the body is low in sodium, it will show cell edema, especially when the brain cells are low in sodium, which will cause edema of brain cells, resulting in poor brain development or necrosis of brain cells. It is harmful to the growth and development of children. In particular, the development of the nervous system brings adverse effects. Therefore, after adding complementary foods, children must be able to eat some salt, but to light mouth, not to say that a little can not be eaten. But absolutely can not eat adult meals like adults, children eat these salted foods, must be specially made for children, salt is very little can be.
