G iven the opportunity, starting your baby off with good eating habits is a great way to go. This is good news for vegetable-haters everywhere. If you drink coffee, you probably remember the first time you took a taste. 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 senses of taste and smell are much sharper than ours. When it comes to introducing new foods, breast-fed babies have an advantage because 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 more difficult for them. But whichever milk they are fed, new tastes can be acquired. I can't tell you how many times I've heard it.
