Infants less than 3 months supply of salt, mainly from milk and milk as the baby's growth and renal function in sound and a growing requirement of salt. Milk or milk salt has been inadequate. The main component of salt, sodium chloride to maintain osmotic balance in the body to form the main component of a variety of digestive enzymes. Such as saliva, pancreatic juice, intestinal fluid and bile production, marketing and must have the participation of chlorine. The formation of gastric juice is also closely associated with chlorine. Steel ions also enhance the gastrointestinal motility, lack of salt, when the body of various digestive enzymes and gastric acid formation will be reduced, the role of decreased gastric peristalsis slows down, affecting digestive function, resulting in children, poor appetite, abdominal distension embolism.

Then to the baby eat semi-solid starchy foods such as rice cereal, soft noodles, soft rice, etc., and gradually replaced by solid foods such as bread slice, bread, biscuits and other dry and to help tooth development. Baby from liquid to solid food to eat, from sucking to chewing, need a process of adaptation, this critical period of adaptation is in the baby's 4 ~ 6 months, if you miss this time, enable children to adapt to solid food, very strenuous .
