It is not the adults' preference that matters, but the adults' best model of the childrens' preferences.

Do you believe that all children's preferences must be given equal weight to that of adults, or just the preferences that the child will retroactively reverse on adulthood?

I would use a process like coherent extrapolated volition to decide which preferences to count - that is, a preference counts if it would still hold it after being made smarter (by a process other than aging) and being given sufficient time to reflect.

And why do you think that such reflection would make the babies reverse the baby-eating policies?
