Advantages: breastfeeding

Disadvantages: bottlefeeding

I am the proud parent to 2 children, however they are both very different and their eating habits are very unique.
Child 1 was born at 36 weeks and was bottlefed (not through choice), he ate bought baby food and was very difficult to wean. He really only enjoyed bland food and yoghurt, he also did not like textured food or finger food, we had some terrific toddler tantrums (from him and me!). He still will not eat mixed food like spaghetti bolognese or shepherds pie as he hates mixed textures.
Child 2 was breastfed, she was fed home pureed food. I started her on sweet potatoe puree and pureed apricots, she ate lumps and mashed food and generally anything we ate including sprouts. She is 6 now and her favourite food is cabbage.
She is a very adventourous eater and will try anything and loves variety and texture within her foods.
