It's time to kick baby's diet up a notch - Scientists Rethink Bland Guidelines
It's time to discard everything you think you know about feeding babies. It turns out most advice parents get about weaning infants onto solid foods - even from pediatricians - is more myth than science.
This has been more or less my inline with my theory. As a science oriented person with an impeding state change from husband to husband/father, I'm kind of amazed at the things people, even the experts, "know" about raising babies and kids in general. After reading a few of Tonya's books it is pretty clear that until recently nobody studied things that didn't seem broken. Its kind of strange to see how much of this is "if it aint broke don't fix it..."
The article brings up interesting points about how much of the way babies are raised is cultural and not truely scientific.
