Callie is pregnant. She has never liked vegetables and rarely eats them. However, she does not want her baby to have the same bad eating habits. If Callie wants her baby to grow up to enjoy the taste of vegetables, the most effective thing she can do is:
A) eat vegetables while she is pregnant and nursing
B) give the baby strained vegetables as one of her first solid foods
C) avoid eating meat while she is pregnant and nursing
D) limit the amount of meat the baby is fed when she starts to eat solid food

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eating vegetables while pregnant and nursing can expose the baby to the taste and nutrients of vegetables even before they start eating solid foods. This can help the baby develop a preference for vegetables, which can increase the likelihood of them enjoying vegetables later in life. Giving the baby strained vegetables as one of their first solid foods can also be helpful, but starting early with the mother's diet can have an even greater impact. Avoiding meat or limiting meat for the baby is not necessarily related to developing a liking for vegetables.
