The article emphasizes the importance of providing babies with a diverse range of wholesome snacks instead of packaged varieties, which can condition them to prefer snacks in colorful packaging. It advocates for offering foods like broccoli, tofu, and other healthy options that babies can consume from six months old without preconceived preferences. Parents are encouraged to prepare foods in appropriate sizes as babies grow, stressing that early positive experiences with various tastes can foster a healthy palate, while also acknowledging challenges such as picky eating and genetic influences on food preferences.
The trouble with packaged varieties is they are teaching your baby that food comes from a rustly packet with a cute logo on the front.
Anything, no matter how bitter or sour or bland, can start to taste good if you have enough positive memories of being fed it by a beloved parent.
