Starch Malabsorption in Infants. Based on the developmental physiology of pancreatic amylase production, starch digestion in young infants was anticipated to be compromised whenever compared with that in older infants and toddlers.

These observations have critical importance for recommendations regarding the feeding of starch-containing foods to young infants.
