A Sydney, Australia study showed that breastfed babies develop an appetite
for flavors from having tasted them in their mother's milk. A comparison
group of artificially fed infants showed less inclination to start new
foods. When they did eat them, the portion taken was about half the amount
the breastfed babies took.
