These are some anchovy MPASI that are easy to prepare for your little one. In the cooking process, you don't need to add too many spices, such as salt or sugar, because anchovies already have a natural salty taste. So, is it permissible to prepare MPASI from dried anchovies?
This is best avoided, Mom. The reason is, fresh anchovies themselves contain natural salt. If dried, the salt content becomes quite high because salt is added to the fish as a preservative. Consuming too much salt can increase your little one's risk of developing hypernatremia.
To maximize the benefits of anchovy MPASI for your little one, you should consult with your doctor to find out what the right portion of anchovies is.
