It's official: Breast milk is flavoured by the foods a woman eats

Breastfed babies are more likely to be healthy because they develop a taste for fruit and vegetables from their mother's milk.

Research shows breast milk is flavoured by the foods a woman eats.

Babies exposed to such a variety of tastes may be more adventurous eaters when weaned.

Researcher Helene Hausner said: 'It's not like if the mother eats apple pie the baby thinks "mmmm, apple pie", but it may be more accepting of the flavour of other foods.

'Breastfeeding may prepare the infant for flavour changes and new experiences when they start to eat solid foods.'

That must be. All my kids ate their veges without a fuss and so does Guin.
