Why on earth would you want to mix in salt on breast milk.??!!
.Girl breast milk ALONE provides all the nutrients essential to the baby on his first months or year on the world.-
Do you mix your milk with salt...? I suppose you are kidding?

No!! Breast milk is the perfect combination of nutrients for you baby. There is no need to add anything!! Even vitamin supplements are unnecessary. Don't listen to whoever is telling you to do this; it's a bad idea!

Nothing should be added to breastmilk. Your son doesn't need any salt in his diet any time soon. He could use some baby food at this age, but nothing with salt added.

no.unless your baby has a kidney problem. (under develpoed) if this is the case,the doctor would have told you how much to add.please donot put salt into the milk.its very dangerous unless other wise told by a doctor.

i cant believe your even asking this question - why would you wanna do that?
The answer is of course NO, this would dehydrate your son, cause him to have an excessive thirst and if you continued to do this your son could have hypovolaemic shock, rapid pulse or undetectable pulse, low blood pressure and then if rehydration isnt started Death.
Please dont even contemplate doing it.

You shouldn't add salt to any child's food as this can contribute to childhood obesity!

Why would you?
Breastmilk is fine on its own; you don't need to add anything to it. If you're worried about flavor, eat a better and more varied diet.

Why do you want to do this? I am curious. Babies should not be given extra salt.

NO!!! Babies can dehydrate quickly, and salt can make someone dehydrate.
Not to mention - why would you need to or want to? There's no benefit.

I would not do this? Is your baby not liking it anymore? If not try baby food he is old enough for that
