Is your child's baby food adulterated? Baby foods sold in the US market do not meet WHO nutritional guidelines.

check sodium i.e. salt

Like sugar, it is important to pay attention to the amount of salt in baby food. Who(ref) advises that you should never add salt to baby's food. However, sometimes this happens indirectly. Therefore, pay close attention to the ingredient list before buying anything for your child.

In such a situation, do not buy products in which salt is also an ingredient. However, some products naturally contain salt, so you can check the salt content in the nutrition table.

Choose Energy Products

A small child cannot eat much in a day because his stomach is very small. In such a situation, pay attention to the ingredients present on the pack of the product and keep in mind that those ingredients should be such nutrients that provide maximum energy to the child.

Please check packaging date

Keep this in mind not only when choosing baby food but also when choosing any product. Be sure to check the manufacturing date of the product and how long the product can be used i.e. the expiry date. This is a very important and noteworthy thing.

Be careful of allergy causing ingredients

While buying baby food, keep in mind that it does not contain anything that your child may be allergic to. Parents often do not understand which ingredient their child is allergic to. In such a situation, if there is any risky element in the baby food that you are including in your child's diet for the first time, then it would be better that you talk to an expert or doctor about it.
