Hello. I can share with you that ikan bilis (dried) has a super high content of salt. The polyclinic doctor reminded me not to use ikan bilis nor dried scallops (gan1 bei4) to cook porridge because they are super high in salt content and will make your lo's food super salty and there is no turning back once you intro flavourful n salty food to begin with. They will then reject bland tasting food... Suggest you make your own vegetable stock? Try googling for that. I saw someone using apples carrots and onions and some other veg to make lovely stock. LO do not need sugar n salt below 2yo technically speaking. if you really want to use ikan bilis, soak and wash off the first time so u get rid of the initial salt content.

Alternatively, you can use fruit as soup base too. I make Apple, papaya or even coconut chicken soup with rice for my 13 months LO. She does like it. I normally don't add salt for my soup.
