Wanting in the future to accustom the child to eat vegetables and fruits regularly, the expectant mother must observe a special diet during pregnancy, The Daily Mail reports.. Based on the results of observations of 46 children aged 6-12 months, scientists have found that they are more likely to eat what their mother preferred to eat during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net So, for example, if the mother drank carrot juice several times a week, the children ate carrot-flavored porridge twice as often (80 g of porridge versus 44 g in the control group). Monell Center specialist Dr. Julie Mennella noted that children from an early age are drawn to foods that contain sugar and salt, while bitter vegetables are not to their taste.. However, it is possible to teach children to eat the right foods..

Meanwhile, bottle-fed children switched to vegetables and fruits more quickly if these foods were introduced into their diet when switching to solid foods.. As a general rule, a child's diet should be as varied by the age of 2 as that of an adult.. The kid just needs to be introduced to the taste of fresh vegetables and fruits.. And it makes no sense to coat cabbage with jam.

A separate test was also conducted, involving feeding children for 8 days with green beans.. On average, on the first day, children ate 50 grams of beans.. However, the amount rose to 80 g in the allotted time. The method of feeding (breastfeeding or bottle feeding) did not affect this in any way..
