talaga bang no salt dapat ang baby food?

[m_lim]

kasi ang 11month old ko ayaw na kumain! tinikman mo yung food niya, nakakasuka dahil walang lasa.

i give her chicken/ beef w/ rice + veggies. ganun.

dapat or pwede na ba lagyan ng konting salt para magkalasa?

Better if you put some soup sis. Kasi na-observe ko sa anak ko kapag pinapakain ko ng meat kahit na may sauce ayaw nya, kahit na masarap na sa pang-lasa ko ayaw pa rin nya. So what I did was I cooked nilagang baboy then yung kanin nilagyan ko lang sabaw ng mashed potato from the nilaga, ayun sarap na sarap sya.. Nung naubos nya nilagyan ko na lang ng sabaw yun bowl nya naubos nya rin. Then next day naman I cooked tinolang manok with same routine then nilagyan ko na lang ng gulay na malunggay ayun sarap na sarap pa rin sya kahit na makalat syang kumaen mag-isa nya.

^yes sis palagi may soup food ni baby.

kaso nga ayaw kumain.  bakit kaya??

eto sample food niya:

nilagang beef + rice + veggies
misua soup + chicken or beef + veggies
oatmeal + milk

yung lasa nanggagaling lang sa ingredients mismo. pinalagyan ko konti pepper pero wala parin gana e.

IMO, there should be sufficient salt in baby food.
Salt is a basic requirement of the body.  Too little, like too much, salt in the body can lead to major complications.
In adults, low salt, if not shortly diagnosed, leads to organs' collapse.

I used imported (kasi clean) natural rock salt before sa babies' food ko
But nowadays, there is that Himalayan rock salt -- that I have my cook use for all our food.
Sold at Bizu, cheaper by P50  at the Legaspi or Salcedo Market (P200/jar)

Studies have proven that natural rock salt is much better for our health than iodized salt.
But since natural salt has no iodine (though it has a lot of essential minerals) -- you have to provide for your iodine needs somehow (natural or thru vitamins)

Very informative sis Aquacharly

No salt at all for my daughter when she wasn't a year old yet - even her food now is minimal salt, unless we eat out, which can't be avoided. Best to not have your daughter develop a taste for salt so young.

How do you make her soup? Maybe the soup isn't flavorful - how do you make soup flavorful? Cook it for a long time over low low heat. Add aromatics - celery, onions, garlic, carrots and various herbs.

My mom makes pork tenderloin broth for my daughter - cooked in a crock pot for 3-4 hours. The soup is delicious, without any salt.
