Of course, the first step is to breastfeed (which is said to expose babies to "33 flavors" via the mother's milk), and follow a varied, healthy diet while breastfeeding. Then, when starting solids, begin with the things babies digest most easily (mainly animal fat and protein), and stay away from carb-heavy foods like lots of cereals and pureed fruits. I have heard from several sources that starting babies on cereal really sets them up to crave starchy foods later, like bagels, cookies, crackers, bread, cereal, and pasta. Other people I know who introduced bone broth, yogurt, liver, cod liver oil, and lacto-fermented foods (like traditional sauerkraut) have great success! Babies are naturally predisposed to like nutrient-dense healthy foods and will continue eating them throughout childhood and adulthood if they develop the taste for them early.Hannah Springer-Corverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277430357880570906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878432405146342747.post-56165214248967506502009-10-05T09:16:30.218-04:002009-10-05T09:16:30.218-04:00you certainly give me a lot to think about, hannah...you certainly give me a lot to think about, hannah! you forget to mention that the obvious; it is a lot more pleasant when your child eats like a normal mini human, with an interest in trying new things. so much more convenient and interesting than a crazy picky child! i have no doubt his exposure to all of these wonderful foods from such a young age will aid him in becoming a great eater in the future.Hilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542181801286993927noreply@blogger.com
