IN INDIAN SCENARIO ADDING SUGAR AND SALT BEFORE ONE YEAR IS NOT A BIG DEAL.IN WESTERN COUNRIES ALL EAT FOOD WITHOUT SUGAR AND SALT EVEN BIGGER CHILDREN AND ADULTS. BUT AS PER GUIDELINES OF GOOGLE BOTH ARE NOT ADVISABLE BEFORE ONE YEAR.DONT THINK THAT YOUR CHILD WOULD START EATING WITH ADDITIONOF SALT AND SUGAR.
