When quite a few children are brought up on biltong and no problems have arisen then I don't foresee a problem. This is the 1st time I have ever heard that babies should not have salt, funny all our friends and family have given salt to their babies and nothing has happened. I would never give advise to anyone that would put a baby/child in danager. I think to much stating of 'this and that' is bad for a baby/child and that is why today there are so many children that have all sorts of allergies. I think if a baby/child if fed good wholesome milk, food and sufficient water then there is no problems. Well that is the way I brought my children up and many of my family and friends, the way we were brought up in the old days!!!
In closing the bottom line is this - one can give advice to another, whether they take it is up to them
I agree. I am aware of the fact that too much salt (even for an adult) is no good, but my kids had biltong every now and then as babies, and they are fine!
