Study Shows Genetics May Play Role in Children’s Food Preferences

Parents of picky eaters, take heart: It is not your cooking. A new study of twins shows that children who turn up their noses at certain foods may simply be “programmed” to do so.

Myles Faith, PhD and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia evaluated the eating patterns of more 792 twins aged 7 years old. The researchers found that genetics mostly dictates a child’s picky palate and cravings for items like peanut butter and jelly. The findings support earlier animal experiments and adult twin studies that linked eating behaviors to genetics….

Can you believe that the child can get out of the water, and die from drowning hours later?! Yet, this is entirely possible. 4000 people die from dry drowning each year, 1400 whom are kids. What IS dry drowning?

Dry drowning is basically drowning without water. With dry drowning, you are not drowning from an immediate immersion in water; it is more of a delayed effect of a small amount of water in the lungs. This can cause result in laryngospasms, which minimize the amount of water aspirated into the lungs. Respiratory arrest may follow, leading to an inadequate supply of oxygen in the blood, cardiac arrest, and eventually brain death.

Good eating habits has never come easily in my family.  Our only meal together as a family is breakfast.  After breastfeeding for as long as we could one of our struggles was to get veggies into our son’s growing little body.   Here are a few tricks that worked for our very finicky eater.

After he turned two we started giving him a little bit of Breyer’s vanilla ice cream.  And here’s the secret;  I mixed about half of it with Sweet Potato baby food.  He loved it – - – until he tasted regular vanilla ice cream.

Being pregnant, or breastfeeding, AND in pain, the most difficult part is choosing what medicine you can take, and which one can be dangerous for the developing baby. Avoiding drugs and going through pain? I don’t know what’s worse. Don’t you just wish that most drugs contained a little more information on the label then just “consult a physician?” It seems that there will be a change for the better in that:

The FDA today proposed major changes in how prescription drug labels inform doctors about drug risks during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
