In her memoir, "The Gastronomical Me," she explains how taste buds in children are extremely sensitive, so that strong flavors are actually painful and revolting until years of eating have hardened one into enjoying ever-more-powerful tastes.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-72250074132157588622016-03-25T16:59:22.279-07:002016-03-25T16:59:22.279-07:00GG - Thanks!

It's now a struggle to get him to eat anything other than starches and dairy. 90% of his diet is composed of some combination of Mac'n'Cheese, Pizza, and Cereal. <br /><br />Any encouraging development in open-mindedness, such as an enthusiasm for fried calamari or egg scrambles with finely-chopped spinach, turns out to be a mercurial one-time thing. Scarfs it down the one time, and then makes you feel like you're trying to foist prison food upon him the next.

I just had to chime in because holy heck, I had no idea about the militant breastfeeding stuff until a close friend went through a lot of emotional angst over having to supplement with formula because she wasn't making enough milk. She tried literally everything the doctors could think of, and her baby was underweight because he wasn't getting enough calories, and people STILL tried to make her feel guilty about it. I'm like, BUT YOUR BABY IS LITERALLY STARVING! You have no reason to feel guilty about this! So creepy/weird. GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261527701229835583noreply@blogger.com
