Do not be afraid to serve foods cold. Most babies will accept cold food. If you want to warm your baby's food, do it just before serving. Do not add salt, sugar, or seasonings to baby foods. Foods that taste bland to an adult are a new-taste experience to an infant.
Some sodium is necessary for good health, but there is enough natural sodium in foods.
Added salt provides too much sodium for a small baby and can even be harmful. Distributed by Louise E. Davis, Ph.D., Extension Child and Family Developement Specialist.
