Try to have high-salt foods only occasionally in small amounts. Do also note some manufacturers list salt as \u2018sodium\u2019; multiplying the amount of sodium listed by 2.5 will tell you the equivalent in salt.<\/p>\n<p>Making sure your child doesn\u2019t eat too much salt means you\u2019re also helping to ensure that they don\u2019t develop a taste for salty food, which makes them less likely to eat too much salt as an adult.<\/p>\n<p>Remember this when you\u2019re cooking for the family if you plan to give the same food to your baby. <em><strong>The following \u2018watch out foods\u2019 are almost always high in salt<\/strong><\/em>, so do check the label and ensure moderation, eat them less often or have smaller amounts:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Watch out foods:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cheeses (parmesan, feta, processed cheeses),\u00a0stock cubes,\u00a0gravy granules,\u00a0ham, olives, smoked meats and fish, soy sauce, oyster sauce, breads, pasta sauces, ready made meals, sausages, tomato ketchup, sauces, cereals, packet soups, pickles, bacon etc<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top tips to reduce salt intake:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>remove processed foods wherever possible<\/li>\n<li>home-cook from scratch when you can! You will know exactly whats in your babies and family\u2019s meal<\/li>\n<li>reduce salt slowly in cooking so that your family taste buds can adapt<\/li>\n<li>don\u2019t put salt or salty condiments on the table<\/li>\n<li>choose LOW-sodium, preservative free stocks, sauces and salad dressings\u2026 or make your own!<\/li>\n<li>rinse canned foods like beans or chickpeas<\/li>\n<li>avoid giving baby processed foods i.e. ready meals as these are often high in salt. Do note though: food manufacturers specifically for babies should meet the recommended levels. If in doubt, always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/Livewell\/Goodfood\/Pages\/food-labelling.aspx\">check the label<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>we use herbs and spices to bring out flavours in our
