hi mummies
just to share, i've already given salt, sugar and sauces to my boy since he's 14 mths plus. initially i was very strict but one day when i was just reading some articles on the internet, i came across an american lady sharing her experiences with her 2 kids. she was strict with the 1st child and end up with a super fussy eater. when she had her 2nd child, she was more relaxed after the child turned 1 yr old. and the 2nd child was so much easier when it comes to meal time.
then i also met an experienced nanny opposite my place, and she was also sharing with me that kids will need a bit of salt in their body now that they are running, because they perspire. her daughter was hospitalised once when she was about 2 or 3 yrs old, and this nanny was reprimanded by a doctor when they realised that there was no salt in the gal's body.
so from all these sharing, i decided to give salt n sugar. but of course in moderation.
anyway, when we were in france last month, my MIL will put salt when she cooked for my son and my SIL's hubby will let my son eat those pastries from his cafe which are sugarish.
now that i open 1 eye and close 1 eye, i think i'm happier and my son is happier also
he's now taken care of by a nanny in my block, and nanny also adds in a bit of salt when cooking for him.
