Oil painting: mother or grandmother cooked favorite child very tasty and fresh, and the baby turn up the nose of a spoon with food. Attempts to "push" in the child something useful again and again fiasco. Mom is going through especially if the son or daughter friend, on the contrary, devours new useful goodies for both cheeks. How so?
Why are some kids eat well, while others are in a long-rank "Nehochuha"? French researchers decided to shed some light on this problem, and here's what they found.
A big difference
Amazing fact: it turns bottle-babies-more fastidious than-grudnichki kids whose mothers were fed exclusively with their milk. Scientists observed in 53 children (and the observation was from the very birth of the baby), some of which were fed breast milk, and some - a mixture. So, at the stage of introduction of the "adult" solid food - feeding - mothers of these children were asked to give crumbs mashed vegetables (pumpkin, carrots, artichokes).
In the study, researchers found that babies who were breastfed, willingly tried to lure vegetable compared with the children-bottle-baby. The 6-year old ex-menu "babies" contained a much greater variety of dishes from vegetables and fruits than diet "ex" -iskusstvennikov. Among the biggest "Nehochuha" kids were fed with a mixture of the bottle, and during the introduction of complementary foods offered only 1-2 types of vegetable puree.
Truth in milk
Scientists came to the conclusion that the willingness of "babies" to try new foods and eat with pleasure because in breast milk gets a certain amount of flavor products, which are used during lactation mother herself.
Thus these flavors in milk taste receptors activate children. This, incidentally, help for nursing mothers: Eat more meals cauliflower and broccoli, zucchini, carrots, pumpkin.
Your pipsqueak - bottle-or gets mixed supplementation? It also does not matter. Just during the introduction of the "adult" food, offer your baby greater variety pyureshek and cereals, cottage cheese, dishes of fish and meat. In this case, your little "Nehochuha" will try new dishes with gusto.
