I had the same question with my youngest daughter. We kept her on the saline till 18 months anyway because we were honestly scared. what we learned from the endo is that we just give normal foods and add a bit of salt. She will act fussy if not given enough and it will be obvious. what I do is make dinner (or the wife does) and once we set the foot on the plates we will add salt kinda like you would to your own food. It isn't all that much more and as long as you do it at every meal it is OK. Now breakfast can be fun especially on day where you don't feel like cooking. We don't add salt to cereal for example just give her salty crackers after she is done. I personally like salt on my foods and that plays a big part. The most important thing is to try different things and don't be scared of the condition. remember she will always let you know if her body is acting up. Lack of salt or lack of the other drugs needed daily feels to them kinda like a bad hangover would to us. My daughter just turned two in January and other than the daily medicines you would never know something is wrong with her.
