Sponsor's own description

Children begin developing food acceptance and preferences during the first years of life, especially through repeated exposure and increased familiarity. Caregivers pay attention to the amounts of food that their children consume, and they also are sensitive to when their refuses to eat what is offered. This study will examine the interactions between caregivers and their infants when bitter vegetables are introduced to infants and toddlers. The goals for this study are to:

1. understand if masking bitterness with very low levels of sugar or salt may facilitate whether infants accept new vegetables;
2. understand if masking bitterness impacts caregivers' perceptions of infants' acceptance of new vegetables; and
3. understand the stress levels experienced by infants and caregivers throughout this process.
