After the baby is one year old, can he eat adult meals and usually put less salt?
In fact, the key to this question is whether adults can accept baby meals?
The main difference between a baby meal and an adult meal
1. Taste
No salt or condiments are added for 1 year old, and the taste of 1 year old or older should also be light.
In a survey done in 2012, we Chinese the average daily amount of salt used was about 10.2 grams. We recommend that adults use about 6 grams of salt a day, and children under 3 years old are best controlled within 1 gram. If your family uses low sodium salt, it can be used for about 2 grams. Therefore, the standard amount of salt used by adults is still 3 times higher than that of children. From this point of view, children eat adult meals, and the salt content is a little excessive.

2. Texture
Match your baby's ability to chew and swallow.
Children's chewing ability is also weaker than that of adults, so the softness of meals should also be suitable for children's chewing and swallowing ability.
If an adult can accept the above 2 points of demand for the baby's meal, the meal can be shared.
