At what age can baby have salt / salt and sugar added to their food?

Question

My baby is 18 months old. Aside from cheddar cheese, and the occasional slice of toast with slightly salted butter, she’s
Not having any salt. But when is it safe/fine for her to have it?
And what about sugar? I’m actively avoiding buying fruit yoghurts with sugar in etc.

Answer

I avoid added sugar as a general rule for my family, so I can't speak to that. But as for salt, it's an essential mineral and the RDA for sodium is outdated. I've always salted the baby food I make to taste and I don't serve separate unsalted table foods.

Answer

Sugar - no added sugar until 2 years old 
Salt - intake can increase around 12 months (the adequate intake is 800mg/day)

Answer

She should be eating what y’all eat, I still buy no added sugar fruit cups and fruit snacks for my 4 year old but I honestly had to season her baby food and she was eating what we at at 6/7 months. So she always had seasoned foods. Not recommending it but I season my food when I cook and I don’t make my kids food separate they eat what I eat.
