title: Sodium intakes of infants from 1 to 18 months of age.
abstract: The daily sodium content in the diets of infants was determined. Milk and milk products were the main contributor of sodium during early infancy. Commercial baby foods contributed little sodium. As table foods were introduced, the daily sodium intake of the infants rose dramatically. The main sources of sodium in table foods were salt-containing canned foods and added table salt.
