A newborn senses all of these tastes except one: Experiments suggest that babies canât taste salt until they are about 4 months old (Beauchamp et al 1986). But newborns love sugar solutions--the sweeter, the better. In fact, when babies are given a sugar solution immediately before a painful procedure--like a heel prick--they cry less. Newborns also seem to like the taste of glutamate, which is found in breast milk (Beauchamp and Pearson 1991).
Try not to worry if your toddler isn't talking at 18 months. The age at which children learn to talk can vary widely. Rest assured that learning to talk a little later than other children shouldn't affect how your child develops later on. Most, but not all children, can say at least six words by 18 months. If your little one isn't quite there yet, there are likely to be lots of other signs that she's eager to communicate.
