Perhaps steered in more ways than one. Baby digestive comfort with breast milk varies with maternal diet. Some foods cause substantial infant distress. So there's an exploratory debugging process around material diet expansion, with backing off to a known-good bland diet, and experimental (re)introduction of foods. A friend was very systematic, and ended up with a list of problematic foods. Nothing singular, there are lots of similar lists out there.
Now you get a lot of mail around pregnancy and birth - it's a prime advertising window with new habits being formed. One bit of mail was a substantial booklet of recipes for new moms. Oddly substantial, with no ads. Also oddly, the recipe overlap with her breast-feeding distress list was massive. "WTF?" - a puzzle. How could someone manage to write a recipe booklet for new moms where every recipe harms breast feeding?? Until on the back page, in small print, "(c) Nestlé". Then not a puzzle at all.
