Newborns can taste and smell and will favor sweet tastes over bitter ones. For example, a newborn will choose to suck on a bottle of sweetened water, but will turn away or cry if given something bitter or sour to taste. Likewise, newborns will turn toward smells they favor and turn away from bad odors.
There are only four different types of taste that infants need to develop-sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Talking about taste, it is mostly seen that infants have a liking for sweet food items and dislike items that have a sour taste. The texture of the food also plays a pivotal role in developing the taste. 2  Most of the babies do not like cottage cheese, because of its odd texture. 3  The odor of volatile flavors like cherry, are perceived via the olfactory receptors. 4  This type of odor does not have much impact on children, until they reach the age 5.
