Developing Food Preferences in Early Childhood

This week we speak with child nutrition expert, Dr. Alison K. Ventura, who discusses her research on how flavor and food preferences are shaped in infancy and early childhood (and even before babies are born!).  We talk about how parents’ feeding practices can alter these preferences and Dr. Ventura discusses her own challenges she has faced as mom to two young boys!  If you are interested in getting a jump start on helping your kids develop healthy eating habits, do not miss this episode!!
