Babies explore at most things by putting them inside their mouths. While they naturally prefer breast milk or formulas that are sweet in taste, they try to put any and every thing in their mouth to taste and feel it. It can become an important safety net in babies as they spit out anything that does not taste good almost immediately. It is good, especially, when they accidentally put a slug in their mouth or other things like that. But, it can also become a safety hazard, if the infant swallows any small things she finds such as buttons and coins, so you need to make sure that you do not put things that she can swallow near your little adventurer.
Newborns are exclusively fed on sweet breast milk and/or formula for the first few months of life, so parents may find it a little challenging to cultivate baby’s taste in vegetables such as broccoli and tomatoes and chicken along with sweet potatoes and pudding but baby resist to changes but they eventually learn to accommodate it. It may take as many as 20 tries to develop a taste for a thing in a baby, so you may need time and patience to change the taste preferences of your baby and make her eat any new foods. Some experts believe that textures of a food may also make it more likeable to the baby and many babies do not like cottage cheese because of its odd texture too.
