Seven to eight weeks after fertilization, the fetus has already formed taste buds and they are activated by the third trimester of pregnancy . Through the amniotic fluid, the fetus begins to pick up a small variety of primary tastes and tastes. You are already able to distinguish between sweet and sour. From birth, the baby shows a marked preference for breast milk and can differentiate its taste depending on the foods the mother eats.
From the beginning of his life he has been inclined towards sweet flavors . However, throughout his first year the child will show a surprising ability to accept mixtures of different flavors. It is the moment to initiate him in foods that are not so appetizing, like the fruit, the vegetables or the fish -always with the advice of the pediatrician-. As the months go by, the identification of flavors will be much more developed, as will your taste buds.
