Research on pregnant rodents and women shows that consuming a variety of vegetables before giving birth increases the likelihood their offspring will accept those foods later. "During pregnancy, an embryo and then a fetus is obtaining information about the outside world," Rosenkranz says. "So, moms can set the stage for what their kids will want to eat before they're even born."
Focusing on whether your baby swallows the food rather than any facial expressions they might make is crucial. A displeased frown could simply be a reaction to a new flavor.
Rosenkranz insists that children’s taste preferences continue developing after birth, and exposing your infant to vegetables in soft baby foods is pivotal, even if you initially face resistance.
Studies show children experience taste differently, enjoying more intense sweet and salty flavors than adults. They may also be more sensitive to bitterness.
