Max 1g of salt (so 0.4g sodium) per day up to one year, then 2g after that.

Sugar is more a personal choice thing.

I alwasy thought it was 0.5g salt per year of age...

up to 10 years when it becomes adult 5g (as a very rough rule of thumb)

I would say
Under 6 months NO salt at all
6-12 months 0.5 MAX
12 - 24 months 1 g MAX
2 - 3 1.5g MAX
3 - 4 years 2 g MAX etc

No i wouldnt give a processed veggy burger or veggy sausage (OR meat burger OR meat sausage) to a 10 month actually

there are so many other tastey nutritouse unprocessed food avaliable i would NOT choose to give them sausage and burger!

You are mistaken nannyL .

They give DS (nearly 20ths) veggie sausages at nursery...I thought the odd one wouldn't hurt but maybe I should tell them not to?

and more info here.

nannyL · 28/01/2008 16:41

ok!
i stand corrected

I remember learning that somewhere though...

all these guidelines change so often that i think that perhaps maybe it doenst matter what you do... so long as you follow a healthy-ish lifestyle!

I always home cook food and never put in salt but today we just came back from holiday and there's nothing in the cupboards apart from veggi sausages so I was just curious.
Thanks
