the sweet flavor for children?

[Guest guest]

this question is for parents of young ones or nutritionists:

i'm just curious what your perspective is on the sweet flavor for

children. I'm not talking about sugar; I'm sure we all agree that's

semi-evil. i mean unprocessed, wholesome food that tastes sweet.

My 13-mo old dd seems to be incredibly drawn to sweet flavors like

bananas, raisins, dates, apricot, anything that I add a little stevia

or honey or maple syrup to.

my thinking is that perhaps it's because breast milk is sweet. so i'm

wondering what's the harm, if any? of course i'm not planning to

overload her; i'm just wondering if i should worry about how much she

likes it.

any comments?
