Pat, the only thing amazing about this is that it took the AAP so long
to recognise the truth! If the WAB was included in the required
reading texts for medical students, we might not still be fighting the
same old battles today. I can't wait for the newest edition to hit the
bookstores. It is written by Diana West, Teresa Pitman and Diana
Wiessinger!

complimentary foods :-)  This was in Pediatric News Nov. 2009.
www.pediatricnews.com   The reason being meat is more nutrient dense than
rice cereal.  Amazing that a bunch of mothers thought the same thing back in
1958 in IL and put it in their book. :-)

The  last 2 paragraph are astounding!

"Early experiences promote healthy eating patterns, said Dr. Greer.  It's
known that food flavors are transmitted to breast milk; infants whose
mothers eat fruits and vegetables during lactation will have greater
consumption of fruits and vegetables during childhood (Public Health Nutr.
2004;7:295-302).  It's also been shown that infants are more accepting of
food after repeated exposure (Am.J.Clin.Nutr.2001;73:1080-5).

Dr Greer reported that he has no relevant financial conflicts of interest."<
