You think that the reason your baby is not accepting the first foods because it is bland.

This is where most of us are mistaken, your baby doesn’t show interest in the food, as the baby is used to breastmilk and doesn’t like being fed with new unknown food.

For someone who has tasted only breastmilk till 6 months of age and who never knows the taste of salt before, what is the need to add salt to the food.

Too much salt intake damages kidney functions as the baby’s kidneys are unable to process & remove high salt levels from the baby’s blood. This creates pressure on the kidneys and causes kidney diseases later in life.

Too much salt can cause;hypertension. Babies who have a lot of salt develop hypertension when they grow to become adults.

Large amounts of sugars cause painful cavities and tooth decay in kids.

Excessive sugar in a diet means a lot more calories which in turn results in obesity in kids leading to major issues once they grow up.
Sugar and salt are not required for babies under 1year. The truth is, adding salt to baby's food may be dangerous.

There can be many risk factors, if we include sugar and salt in infant's diet.

Babies have a delicate system and salt may effect their kidneys.
