Although baby food manufacturers and child care manuals often advise parents to prepare their infant's cereal with water or either mother's milk or formula, depending on the feeding regimen of the infant, little is known about the infant's acceptance of differently flavored cereals. The present study demonstrates that breast-fed infants, who had been fed cereal for approximately 2 wk but had experienced cereal prepared only with water, consumed more of the cereal-mother's milk mixture compared with cereal water mixture and displayed a series of behaviors signaling their preferences for the former. Moreover, the infants' willingness to accept the flavored cereal is correlated with their mothers' reported willingness to try novel foods and flavors.
尽管婴儿食品制造商和育儿手册常常建议父母根据婴儿的喂养方式，用水、母乳或配方奶来冲泡婴儿谷物食品，但对于婴儿对不同口味谷物食品的接受度却知之甚少。本研究表明，母乳喂养的婴儿已食用谷物约两周，但此前只吃过用水冲泡的谷物，与谷物 - 水的混合物相比，他们食用了更多的谷物 - 母乳混合物，并且表现出一系列表明他们更喜欢前者的行为。此外，婴儿接受调味谷物的意愿与他们母亲报告的尝试新食物和新口味的意愿相关。
