Stacie, have you thought about the fact that such small children
have still been breastfed in all paleo times?

Just look on a human breastmilk analyse, i think this is likely the way she
is requiring her food.

It has not very much fat, not at all. And is high in natural carbs.
Milk sugar is included too - i suppose for sake of enhancing the intestinal
flora.

Honey is NOT a natural carb, it is made for BEEs.
Bees can digest carbs without B vitamins and honey is devoid of B vitamins.
Modern type bananas are a little low in B vitamins ( i suppose small, more
natural ones not).
Most (not soo sweet) fruit should be good.
Most tubers too.
Sweetpotatoe? Carrot?
