Did I feed DD too much sugar via puree?

[sent]

DD has always been active and full of energy, but tonight it was like on super drive.  She was climbing and crawling with fury after dinner.  I don't know why I thought of this, but I looked at the label of the pear-raspberry puree and it has 11 grams if you eat the whole 4 oz jar.  DD had about half the jar.  So then I started looking at the labels of the other jars pouches and they ranged from 2 g to 15 g.  I believe these are naturally occurring sugars so the apple-blueberry-yogurt had a ton of sugar whereas lentil-something veggie had the least.

It never occurred to me to watch the sugar content of what I've been feeding her.  She eats about 6 - 8 oz of purees a day.  Now I am wondering if I've been feeding her too much sugar and this might be why she doesn't nap as long somedays and stays up so late sometimes like yesterday, 7 am - 9:30 pm.  

Thoughts or experiences?

Fruit isn't bad for your baby.

It's not added sugar in baby food.

This is not the source of sleep issues.

I think kids nap sometimes and don't other times. Same for being hyper. Could it be related to sugar? Sure. Or not.

Basically I've given up trying to figure it out.

It's not the purée.

I have an idea though- did you happen to give her something with red dye (like Tylenol?)

@republicrat No Tylenol today.

So I'm not overloading her with fruit?

Sorry if I sound crazy.  I know fruits and veggies are good for her.

So lost on how to be feeding this little human.  And exhausted from how little she sleeps.

You can't overload on half a jar of babyfood.

If you're this worried, maybe do some reading on wholesomebabyfood.com . You've no reason to worry.

Thanks.  I have some baby food books at home, but I am not home.  

Just to experiment, I am going to try feeding her the lower sugar purees the next few days and see what happens.  Probably nothing.

Fingers crossed for longer naps and fewer MOTNs.
