Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Keeley, We had a nurse from Scotland in our clinic a while back and she had never heard of salt powder. But of course Scotland is never hot enough to worry about it. Where as we have used it every year from October - April since she was 2 months old. It taste's a bit sweet actually, kids cannot taste it. (Australia) Re: Australian Mums - Help with salt powder questions please! Thanks . Yes, I want to use it as sodium replacement. My baby nurses and still isn't very interested in solids, so we have trouble getting all the salt in she needs. The moms in Australia have talked about " salt powder " they use with their kids that is tasteless to slightly sweet. It sounds so much easier! They just mix it with a little juice and drink it. For some reason my docs don't know anything about it, but said it sounded great. I'm just trying to find some here in the States. I think you may be right about it being more a nasal wash. *sigh* I had such high hopes when the pharmacist said he found salt powder.
