Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between infant�s feeding practices and sodium intake of 6-12 months-old-infants. Methode : We employed an observasional study with a cross-sectional design. The study was undertaken in urban and rural areas in Pacitan distric. The subjects were 57 of 6-12 months old infants. Purposive sampling methode was used.The amount of salt intake was estimated using 24 hours recall and a feeding practices quesionaire completed by their mothers. Chi-square test and logistic regression were conducted to establish if infant feeding practices was related to sodium intake. Result : Majority of infants were first introduced to solids in 6 months, with combination of traditional dan commercial foods. In the whole sample, 59,6% consumed sodium in excess. The lowest highest sodium intake was 16,5 mg and the highest was 3321 mg Conclusion : Association was found between the combinated complementary food and infant�s sodium intake. The group of infants who consume combinated complementary foods were more likely to be excess in sodium intake. Mother�s education level as the confounding factor was related to infant�s sodium intake. Background: Sodium intakes around the world of adult populations are well in excess of physiological need. WHO recommends that sodium intake of adults should be <85 mmol/day. This problem also happen in infants. Sodium requirement for infants is 400 mg/ day or less than 1 g of salt up to age 12 months. Once complementary food is being introduced to infants in the age of 6 to 7 months their sodium intake is dramatically increase. Too much sodium in infant�s diet can be harmful for infants in the short term and in the long term.
