SC - Babies have taste buds

[Brian L. Rygg or Laura Barbee-Rygg]

I couldn't eat anything with chili powder in it while I was pregnant because
it gave me horrible heartburn (never had it before).  I was raised in San
Antonio and tacos, burritos, etc. are part of my normal diet.  Two weeks
after I delivered I thought, "I can have tacos again" -- wrong, she nursed
but screamed bloody murder from gas pains for a full 24 hours. Couldn't
resume normal diet for another couple months.  for some reason, garlic never
bothered her, just chili powder.
