Eating salt may not kill the baby, but too much salt consumption can cause a fatal and rapid increase in blood pressure and lethal kidney failure. The latter is the best known, and deadliest, effect of high dose salt consumption. Babies have a very fragile system and the kidneys are an immensely important factor in that system. The tiny and meek kidneys cannot process and filter added salt at such a young age. This can cause severe kidney damage and possibly lead to brain failure.
