Fresh is best, so I hope it was straight from the source.

babies prefer sweet tastes from birth and do have taste buds, They can tell the difference between sweet and sour, just as you and I can. The only thing different is when given the breast milk for nursing , they only have tried and tasted that kind of milk. IF you were to switch to formula, then try to go back to the breast, most babies, will refuse the breast, because formula is sweeter,
which is also why formula is so hard to wean off, to cows milk, the cows milk is less sweeter then the formula, though most would say formula is disgusting too,

breast milk takes on the taste of what the mother eats, and babies have no clues as to what else is out there, as we do. so that is their lifeline and they know after they have it they are full, so they are happy.

because its the only thing they know. as soon as they are introduced to other taste they decide what they like and dislike...

there taste buds aren't developed fully yet and they don't know any other taste to compare it to.

They don't have any taste buds so it doesn't bother them
