Wow Kate, that sounds really interesting. Do you have a reference for that
research? I'm currently working on a weaning information leaflet for our
breastfeeding group & it would be great if I could quote some of that
research.
One thing that puzzles me though is why my 9 month old dd can tolerate & even
enjoy hotter (spicier) dishes than I can. But then I'm pretty timid when it
comes to hot curries! lol

I have the one article I primarily referred to at work and will look for
it. Right now we are still on holiday so if you can give me a few more days
please:)
Perhaps a search in Igenta or Medline might turn it up though if you are in
a hurry.
