I gave birth to a girl and wanted to give her sugar, but she is very young. Can babies under 1 year old eat sugar?

    Infants under 1 year old are not recommended to add extra sugar (including sucrose, glucose, fructose) or salt, and should avoid giving fruit juices or sugar-sweetened beverages*. It is not recommended to use pure milk as the main drink before the baby is 12 months old. The proportion of protein in the total food to the total energy should not be more than 15%, the high protein diet at the stage of supplementary food may increase the risk of subsequent overweight or obesity*.
