hey, yeah salt is really dagerous for babies its recommended that you dont give it to them for there first year of life, i was only just reading about this practical parenting the other month as a baby can not process the salt in there kidneys fast enough, ill link you to a story where a baby was eating its parents food and ingested 9g of salt in 1 day the the baby got brain damage and actually died http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/404667.stm
Here is another good site explanining it better than what i can! http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/startingsolids/saltexpert/
maybe instead of adding salt to the vegies how about some herbs or a bit of butter and milk to make it taste a lil diff i never had this prob my lil girl would woof everything down!! our first child though was a bit picky and still is to this day! good work though for doing the whole mashing the vegies your self the first time i did it i felt great to and at lest u know what ur putting in there lil tummies!!! all the best
