No added sugar for babies, US advisory panel recommends, as it launches early feeding advice

"One key message in the 2020 infant recommendations: No amount of added sugar is OK for a baby's development.
"Avoid foods and beverages with added sugars during the first 2 years of life," the committee stated. "The energy in such products is likely to displace energy from nutrient-dense foods, increasing the risk of nutrient inadequacies."

"Mother's milk has sugar in it," Abrams said, but it's packed full of immune boosting, infection fighting components and is the perfect combination of fats, proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins for a baby's needs."
