Also the fat free nonsense. Brains love fat. I researched this because my son’s pediatrician wanted to put him on a low fat diet when he was an infant. After reading about the brain being the fastest growing organ for an infant and that brains love fat, I did not change his diet. He was heavy but all that weight fell off once he started walking.
They also need the complex B’s you find in dark and organ meats to grow nerves & grey matter, putting to rest the notion that vegan is our “natural” diet.
See my post 19! You are right!!!!
My chunkiest babies have ended up being my leanest children. At 14, my son is lean and all muscle. Even as a young child he would sink like a rock in water the instant he tried to float. As a baby he was so fat he wasn’t even cute to anyone but me. Our youngest daughter is only two, but is long and lean. As a baby she plumped up so fast people laughed at her. Her cheeks looked like they were about to pop!
Once babies start crawling and walking, they lose the extra fluff.
Smart man. I had to make a homemade healthful infant formula for my daughter, as I had no breast milk this time around. I used the Weston A Price recipe and she is an amazing child, strong and smart. She loved her formula and it was filled with healthy fats. She drank it for three years. Much better than just plain milk. You can’t get those brain growing years back!
