Solids- infant and toddler digestion

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I thought this was pretty interesting information I came across regarding a baby's digestion, physiologically their stomach and intestines don't mature until on average two years of age.

"An infants stomach is round and lays horizonally until about two years of age, when the angle becomes more verticle and upright. The intestines undergo a growth spurt when the child is one and three years of age and again in the later teen years."

huh. I wonder if that has any implications for how we feed them?
