    Exceeding recommended sodium levels is probably not too terrible, not meeting calorie requirements seems really bad.

      "I can excuse excessive sodium levels, but I draw the line at caloric restriction."

      You can excuse exceeding the recommended sodium levels? Getting infants accustomed to high amounts of salt will warp their tastes and predispose them to the ultrapalatable foods that cause heart disease.

      In parenting classes they tell you "don't season the baby food to your own tastes, it's okay if it's bland because their taste buds are hyper-sensitive".

      If baby doesn't get enough calories, baby is hungry and cries, then you give baby more food. You can always add more, but you can't take away, like if baby gets too much sodium.
