This would be true with my kids. My dd only nursed for a month, and she has
the biggest sweet tooth/carb tooth on the planet! Ds (almost 4) is just
about 100% weaned, and he can take it or leave it. He's the one always
eating the fruit & veggies and meats. DD eats the sweets, the cereals,
breads, & crackers with very little protein of any kind (except milk and
sweetened yogurt) very few veggies or fruits.

I'm the only one around here who likes soda cold. <<

I like it cold (I'm constantly putting it in the freezer to be really cold -
if it forms little ice crystals it's perfect!). My kids don't care about
cold or if it's flat (I need BUBBLES, lol) so I save the flat stuff for
them (well, it's flat for me but not totally flat).

One thing I really believe is that children who are breastfed eat a
wider variety of foods and are more likely to eat new things. The
reason i think this is that children who are breastfed start getting
different tastes from day one. So when it's time to eat solids, they've
already had experience with different tastes. This is especially true if
mommy uses mommy milk to make solids (instead of water or formula), then
the taste of mommy milk is there, as is the taste of new foods. Babies
who have formula get the same taste, day after day, feeding after
feeding, (and it's not a very good taste, ever taste breastmilk--sweet
and good. Ever taste formula--yuck!) So of course they become very
used to one flavor and are less likely to try new foods.

Just my opinion...

I have one breast-and-bottle fed and one strictly breastfed, and both of
them are as picky as one could imagine. We could blame this on my own
general pickiness, but I think it has more to do with tastes being inherited
along with everything else.

Consider my niece Chesa: Her mother is a vegetarian, her father a carnivore.
Chesa's ideal meal? A hundred pounds of raw tomatoes and a huge steak. <g>

Tamzin's eating patterns are remarkably like her father's. She
has not lived with him for 4 years and before that, did not have
many meals with him (he was out gigging, practising and
recording a lot). She is picky, but definitely has a 'savory tooth'
and doesn't like her food 'mixed together', just like Chris. But
she also loves fruit, like me (her dad only ever eats bananas and
apples). She breastfed until she was almost 3. Her tastes are
definitely expanding as she gets older, and now she tries a lot
more foods than she used to.

Some new experimental research has shown some interesting stuff with babies
in utero. Apparantly we learn about tastes while still in the womb.
Researchers fed mothers lots of carrot juice during the last half of
pregnancy and those babies whose moms had had the juice responded
positively to cereal flavored with carrot when they were 4 months old as
opposed to the babies whose mothers had a regular diet. There are other
studies as well. But it does help explain why Indian kids happily munch
their way thru spicy curries from infancy!

I love food and eat a wider variety (no pickiness here unfortunately for my
bum:) and my kids are all open to eating all kinds of things. I think taste
is something that develops from an early age but does change regularly over
the years.

THAT explains my kids!

This has definatly been true for my sisters twins. One was breastfed
until she was almost 3 and the other only (exclusivley)for a few
weeks (nipple confusion, mommy confusion, call it what you will).
The nurser eats anything including hot salsas, and other spicey foods
any veggi, anything. While the bottler eats only familiar foods. We
could also chalk it up to personality except that the bottler is
generally the more adventurous so that theory doesn't hold at least
in this case. It is also interesting to note that her other kids
(all brestfed less than six months) are picky eaters with the second
who was brestfed for the shortest time existing almost entirely on a
diet of Eggos and Gogurt. So in this cross sampling of genetically
simular children. Your theory definatly holds true.

Well that would explain why Tamzin likes avocadoes and garlic
so much. When she first started grabbing for food, she went for
avos and anything garlicy. I must have eaten at least 2 avos a
day and a ton of garlicy food when I was pregnant!
