Why can't baby add salt when he was little?

The elderly at home told me that I can't add salt to my baby. Why can't my baby eat salted food when I was young?

    Babies cannot add salt when they are young because the baby's kidney function is not well developed and is not enough to metabolize too much sodium salt. If too much salt is added to the food supplement, the sodium salt that cannot be excreted by itself will remain in the body fluids, which may cause edema, hypertension and congestive heart failure.
