''Amylase, secreted from the salivary glands and pancreas does not reach
adequate levels until 2 years after birth.  Somewhere else I have written
that amylase is not secreted at all in the first 3 months.  I am hoping

can throw some more light on this."

Jean, I hope so too. In the meantime I'll see if I can find some refs via
medline. Or maybe some dieticians out there can shed some light?
