The study found the most important times to avoid sugar for babies are during pregnancy and after they’re about 6 months old, when they typically start eating solid foods.
U.S. dietary guidelines recommend children under the age of 2 consume no added sugars at all and anyone older than 2 old have up to 4 tablespoons a day. Despite that, the CDC says on average, Americans, including children, consume nearly six tablespoons of sugar per day.
