My baby was not at all discerning but since I work/dabble in sensory science I'm intrigued by the babies that are. </p> <p>Babies can smell the difference between their mom's milk and another mom's milk as early as 4 days (probably earlier but who is giving their baby over to researchers earlier than that). Babies responses to flavors they like/dislike include faces, increased/decreased sucking, heart rate changes, and pulling away. </p> <p>Here's an article about babies reacting to flavored bottles. <a href="http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/2/1/19" rel="nofollow">http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/2/1/19</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-changing-the-taste-of-breast-milk#post-2152223 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 08:47:26 +0000 Adira 2152223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food definitely can affect the taste of your breast milk and other things. I know when I eat anything too spicy, it gives my kids gas (although Logan has a higher tolerance for it than Xander did). Also, once when I was sick, I drank 5 cups of tea and when I tasted my breast milk later, it tasted like tea!!</p> <p>Was the curry you had spicy? That could definitely have affected your LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-changing-the-taste-of-breast-milk#post-2152222 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 08:44:33 +0000 Trufflehunter 2152222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so but I don't know for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-changing-the-taste-of-breast-milk#post-2152217 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 08:41:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2152217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so? I eat a lot of different foods (def had curry). I also smell/taste my milk all the time and they really seem pretty much the same. I feel like you would've needed to eat a lot of it to really change the milk? But then again I don't really know! I just know I eat a ton of different and even weird foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-changing-the-taste-of-breast-milk#post-2151804 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 20:11:03 +0000 FaithFertility 2151804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Masaman Curry for dinner tonight which I ate maybe once before months ago...<br /> I EBF and tonight right after dinner I feed DD and she nursed fine but about 2.5 hrs later I fed her before bed and she would suck and pull off right away and suck and pull off again as if it tasted bad???<br /> She finally sucked for a few and kind of was done with it... could it of been the curry? </p>
