My mom must have eaten lobster and steaks.
Horse feathers.
I breast fed both my kids for the same amount of time, ate the same diet, started them off the same and fed *them* the same diet, and they couldn’t have more different tastes.
One was a starch lover of every sort. Potatoes, noodles, rice etc. She would eat fruit and veggies but didn’t care much for meat. The other preferred protein in every form. Didn’t want potato or starch. He didn’t much care for veggies until he grew up and married a woman who eats them a lot. Now he is a salad fiend..... but still loves meat and fish.
“My mom doesn’t drink Scotch, like pepperoni, or pork rinds so I call BS on this study.”
So, she is still breastfeeding you?
I don’t remember when she stopped, I was pretty young.
Good thing, it might have been traumatic if it happened in your teens.
I probably would have starved to death, Mom was pretty flatchested. She used to say she was the Wire Mother in the Harry Harlow experiments.
When I was 16, my dad married an 18yr old that I swear she could have breast fed sextuplets with no problem. I am still jealous of my younger half brother..
Maybe if I sucked on a breast while eating broccoli I’d like broccoli more, too!
Worked for me with carrot juice! :o)
How do you characterize “weaned improperly”?
Reminded me of the story I read about a health-nut in Florida. he drank so much carrot juice that he got cirossis of the liver and died.
Guess what...Most kids and big people like fruits and vegetables. Even you don’t like brocoli...you get labeled. Geez...Stupid studies.
I've always been more of a leg man. My first wife was really put out by the disdain I showed for breast fondling.
My younger son was a picky eater...
...until he encountered USMC boot camp~~
Cold shot!!!

My wife's attitude (when our kids were born) was, "Hey, formula costs money. This is free!" She also said it was some of the most special time she had bonding with our kids.
>>SNORT!<<
Yes,
Parris Island would make even the pickiest eater eat anything.
I guess this explains why our son in law hates them and loves sweets, meat,chicken, taters. No fish either. LOL
This just boggles the mind. The boobs are going south whether you breastfeed or not! When the rest of you looks 40, you're boobs ain't stayin' 20.
I ate everything and my breastfed son eats everything. Anecdotally, the vege theory works for me. Wait - he doesn't like guava. He'll even eat peas, and I HATE peas. Maybe it's just correlation, because if you genetically like to eat lots of things, then your children will genetically like to eat lots of things.
I know many anecdotal stories of sickly breastfed children and super-healthy formula-fed babies. My theory is that breastmilk is only better if the mother eats healthy foods - enough protein, calcium, quality fats, and veges and fruits for their nutrients.
