When is the right time to add salt and sugar to our babies' food? And if we can already, is there a specific quantity per dish/day?

The maximum recommended amount of salt for babies and children is: -up to 12 months – less than 1g of salt a day (less than 0.4g sodium) - 1 to 3 years – 2g of salt a day (0.8g sodium) - 4 to 6 years – 3g of salt a day (1.2g sodium) - 7 to 10 years – 5g of salt a day (2g sodium) - 11 years and over – 6g of salt a day (2.4g sodium) Too much salt will burden little one's kidney. http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/saltinbabyfood.htm You can flavor your food by adding in Natural Salt Alternatives e.g. put in tomato/onions in porridge to add the sweet taste, boil 'ikan bilis'/silver fish as the soup base and etc. Here is a list of natural salt alternatives, http://www.suesnutritionbuzz.com/2012/09/28/why-salt-is-addictive-and-10-natural-salt-alternatives/
