A recent article on Parenting.com shares insight on helping your baby develop hearing, touch, smell, taste and sound. Author Charlotte Latvala from Babytalk magazine talked to Dr. Greene about how and when a baby in the womb can first sense smells. By the end of the first trimester, a baby can smell the foods Mom is eating because smells cross the amniotic fluid. "Newborns orient themselves by smell more than any other sense," he says. "A baby placed on Mom's belly right after birth will work his way up to the breast for the first nursing, navigating by sense of smell."

In addition, the article talks about how a mother’s food choices can shape what a baby will crave at mealtimes, which is the philosophy behind Dr. Greene’s newest book, “Feeding Baby Greene: The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition During Pregnancy, Childhood, and Beyond.” Watch this video on why Dr. Greene felt he had to write this book to teach parents how to instill a desire for healthful foods in their children.
