Dietary fiber is another name for indigestible complex carbohydrates of plant origin (these are not broken down by intestinal digestive enzymes). Sugar alcohols, including sorbitol and mannitol, are also important to consider for infants. Carbohydrates serve as primary sources of energy to fuel bodily activities while protein and fat are needed for other essential functions in the body, such as building and repairing tissues. In later infancy, infants derive carbohydrates from additional sources including cereal and other grain products, fruits, and vegetables. Infants who consume sufficient breast milk or infant formula and appropriate complementary foods later in infancy will meet their dietary needs for carbohydrates.
