Note the statement (below) from the site: "Most babies get milk-based
infant formulas like Enfamil or Similac..." There were NO breastfed babies
included in this study.
It claimed babies tend to prefer what they got first, i.e. they don't like
to switch brands.
It also mentioned in passing a preference of flavors they were exposed to
in utero. But then a follow up to that would have included breastfeeding.
No follow up.
