Babies prefer milk...

"About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic
 principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk
is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for
those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from
 evil." Hebrews 5:11-14

Description of Clip Art: baby holds a bottle of milk, three scriptures about milk and infants, black and white clip art

"Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil,
