ANN ARBOR, Mich., -- It's very important that a baby's primary taste of solid food should be something nutritious such as rice cereal or pureed carrots, not ice cream, say U.S. researchers.
"There is a tremendous problem today with childhood plumpness in the United States, one that medical researchers and physicians are trying to address face-to-face by identifying the factors that are contributing to this epidemic," says Dr. Julie Lumeng, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician with the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor.
Lumeng says it very significant to keep sweets out of a child's diet when an infant first learns to eat.
