Many baby foods that we consider very bland have the same impact on children.
Children have extremely sensitive taste buds .
Their vision may have slightly soft focus, but their sense of taste and smell is much sharper than ours. When it comes to introducing new foods , breast fed babies have an advantage since the taste of mom's milk varies depending on what she has eaten . Formula fed babies get the exact same taste every time they drink a bottle, and the introduction of new foods can be particularly difficult for them. The best way to get your infant to eat any new food is to desensitize them to the taste. You can accomplish this by using the new food for their first bite of solids each day for ten days straight.
