I had a friend years ago with a big baby that was very reluctant to eat
solids. Was almost exclusively breastfed for 9 months. Then tried her on
Mexican food
and she never looked back. Parents always ate lots of Mexican food and often
quite hot, including through pregnancy. In her second year this baby lived
almost entirely on spicy food.
