Lightbulb here is an interesting factoid:

Studies have shown that children borne of mothers who were on sodium
restricted diets, have an elevated barometer for salt intake.

I don't salt food. And I was on a 2gram max daily diet while pregnant.
My son is a saltaholic....I have watched this since he was a baby.
He was also very small at birth... 3lb 14 oz. I have been on Blood pressure meds since I was 30 yrs old. I had my son at 34.

Here is an article that is just fascinating...about babies, mothers, and salt:
