And just so you know, I firmly FIRMLY believe that "picky eaters" are made, not born.
YES! I completely agree People assume that toddlers will only eat PB&j, chicken nuggets and that infants only want mushed bland fill in the blank. I grew up eating a variety of Middle Eastern foods including soup made with tripe.
I once tested my baby girl at 7 months. She could choose between mushed sweet potatoes with no additional flavor or lamb curry full of flavor and texture. She chose the curry. She loves a variety of foods and flavors. At 19 months she eats spicier curries than most adults.
I think my current favorite read concerning babies and food is Hungry Monkey.
