Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. When can the baby start eating oil and salt?Doctor's answer:
When babies start eating complementary foods, they can also consume salt and sugar. Salt helps maintain a constant osmotic pressure and acid-base balance in the baby's body, playing a crucial role in maintaining normal physiological functions. At the same time, it can also serve the purpose of seasoning. During this stage, babies should eat foods with a light taste, and the amount of salt should be very small—never too salty. Fats can be added after the seventh month, but in small amounts.
