Make your own and miss out the salt.

Does he specifically need a low-salt diet? If not the usual bread you buy is fine for children of all ages.

Or make your own? If you have a breadmaker you can make your own and leave out the salt altogether.

Second make your own. Rolls are easiest

No special requirements ND. Bread seems to have about 0.5g of salt per slice though and I thought this was quite lot given his daily amount is supposed to be 2 I think.

I used to have a breadmaker but it died. I could buy another one, hadn't thought of that. Only thing is that the bread it made was rather dense IYKWIM, better as toast kind of thing.. Can you really make light, airy, sandwichy bread in a breadmaker? If so, I'm sold!

the panasonic one is great, really nice bread, it can be quite heavy if you use a high proportion of wholemeal flour, but the 100% whicte tends to be quite light.

we use hovis best of both medium sliced and it has 0.35g per slice

Add a table spoon of self raising flour to the mix,
(or half a tea spoon of baking powder)
this seems to stop the bread being to dense when I use my bread maker.

Forgot to say, you can always substitute normal table salt for LoSalt when you make your own

Go for a Panasonic, like Minky says. We make wholemeal and it is fine. We use 3/4 tsp of salt per loaf (half of what the recipe book says).
