After thinking about it a little, I guess my real question is: how much high glycemic food do infants require for healthy development (versus fat, protein, and low G.I. food)? And if none is *required*, should they get much at all? Don't they get insulin spikes like adults?

I think a healthy balanced diet without or minimizing refined starches and sugars is good for everyone. Babies have special requirements which need to be met, but your pediatrician is a valuable source of guidance there. If you ask 100 people, you get 200 opinions. I guess the most important thing about being a parent is to trust your own instincts! You'll do just fine. You sound like a very involved Dad already, and your baby will only thrive with parents like you and your wife sound like to me!!!! |
