Form Your Baby’s Taste and Get Them to Like Vegetables?!

According to a new book, parents looking to help their children develop healthy eating habits have more power than they realize.  Author Bee Wilson’s book examines the many factors that influence our eating preferences and recently spoke with NPR about the book as well as shared a few interesting facts.  The ones we found most fascinating:

  • Babies are most open to new tastes from 4-7 months
  • Our tastes start to develop pre-birth so what expectant mothers eat during pregnancy matters
  • We’re all born to like sweetness but it doesn’t mean we’ll only eat sugary food
