Accepted Answer

Depends: Corn starch is a carbohydrate. Eating too many carbohydrate can make a person gain weight. I'm not sure what you mean by "make your baby big".

I would advise you to talk to your pediatrician &amp; a dietician.

Question 4

what happens if a person eats / craves  a lot of corn starch?

Accepted Answer

Carb excess...: Eating corn starch is similar to eating sugar, because corn starch is a simple carbohydrate that gets broken down into sugar as digestion occurs.

Craving corn starch is harmful only in that it causes anxiety (due to craving something all the time), but is not so bad because the person is only craving, not eating.

Baby powder, (talc+perfume)) is less likely to feed germs but not likely to reduce body odor effectively., .
