Flavours in a mother's diet can find their way into her breast milk within minutes, according to new research carried out at the University of Copenhagen.
18 women were asked to provide samples of breast milk before and after eating capsules containing various flavours. While banana could be detected for an hour after consumption, menthol lasted for eight hours.
The research also found that the time it took for falvours to arrive and disappear varied significantly between women. However, no flavour seemed to last for more than eight hours.
According to Dr Helene Hausner, the preliminary results suggested that a variety of flavours in breast milk could make the baby more accepting of new and diverse flavours.
