Nancy, you said:
"to get optimal brain growth and IQ you need
18 g/kg/d weight gain, BUT at this level you increase the rate of
obesity,
heart disease, hypertension."
************************************
I'm afraid I'm not quite understanding the 18g/kg/d weight gain. Does
that mean that for every kilo the baby weighs, they are to gain 18 g/day?
Meaning if the baby is 2 kilos (4.4 pounds), then they need to gain 36 g/day?
So the smaller they are, the less they have to gain per day...the bigger
they are, the more they have to gain per day. Or am I totally
misinterpreting this? And at what point would the "term" gain of 30 g/day begin?
