Sodium - Food Fact

Did you know that sodium is an essential electrolyte that works together with potassium to help regulate blood pressure and maintain water balance in the body?  It also aids in nerve, kidney, and muscle functions.  While too little sodium can throw off the body's balance, too much is also bad, as it can stress your baby's kidneys and may even slow her growth.  Avoid adding salt to your baby's food - let her get what she needs from the naturally occurring sodium in the food.
