Salt is generally recommended for children after the age of one year, but if diarrhea and dehydration are present, salt can be given to the body of a child before the age of one year as an appropriate supplement.
The sodium ions in milk and other foods before a child’s first birthday can basically satisfy the child’s needs, so there is no need to add salt to the diet of children under one year of age. After one year of age, with the age and development, the demand for salt is relatively more, you can add salt appropriately.
If a one-year-old child with diarrhea and dehydration is very serious, the body loses a lot of salt, you can give the child oral rehydration salts under the guidance of the doctor, can replace the body’s loss of water and electrolytes. If the child before the age of one year to eat salt too early, may lead to high sodium content in the body, heavy taste and other phenomena.
It is recommended that after the child reaches one year of age, and then gradually add salt-containing condiments, pay attention to the usual light diet, balanced nutrition.
