Salt, how much?

I am wondering how much salt my son should be getting? He's only almost four months old and they told us to divide 1/8 teaspoon between the bottles for the day. I asked the clinic when the amount of salt goes up and they said 6-12months of age, of course this was the dietician who I've already had issues with. I upped the salt to 1/4 teaspoon when I added yogurt to the formula and his skin has been less salty. I was wondering what others were told about the salt and when they increased it.

i have been giving my little one 2 of the "packets of salt" like you get in a restaurant..(sorry, not sure exactly how much that is) since she was 2months old! that was recommended by our doc when she was in hospital for FTT. i thought it sounded like alot, but we recently switched clinics and they said that was ok. she takes one in each bottle 2x a day.

My daughter is now 2 and we do not add salt to her diet because she gets it through her table food. She eats pretzels and salty meats so that should do it. When she was a baby we did the 1/8 of a teaspoon to her formula and sometimes added a little more on the very hot days.

We were never instructed to add salt to DS' bottles; however, when he was 6 months old and moved on to ground up table food, we did add salt to his baby food since it's usually low in fat and sodium, but didn't usually to what he got at daycare or at home because it was usually high in sodium -- he liked canned chicken ala king and soups...
