Weird question

[Skyla]

I was just wondering, if someone ate loads of a particular food while they were pregnant, does it mean that baby will like that food when they are born? Might be a stupid question...just got me thinking cos I love choccies and have been eating way too many chocolates!!!

Im not sure but if thats true my baby will be addicted to Aero Bubbles, Aero Choccie Bars and Aero Hot Chocolate drink lol

 

[Skyla]

hahaha, all things aero then!! Mine will love a few weird things like potatoes with salami but also caramel and chocolate shortcakes

I remember my Mum telling me she ate lots of tomato soup while carrying me, and I don't like tomato soup hehe I really don't know Skyla, though have read babies prefer sweet flavours in the womb, makes them swallow the amniotic fluid faster than usual

 

[Skyla]

Ohh, that's interesting. Well, maybe i'll just keep eating chocolate

I'm not sure, but have heard that cravings are related to the body asking for things it needs - like for instance, a craving for chocolate milk or icecream may be a need for calcium present in dairy products. Also heard that taste buds perceive certain flavours differently during pregnancy - hence the curious combinations. Have no idea if any of this is true, but it sounds scientific and makes me feel better about the huge amount of chocolate I manage to get thru!!!

Lol, i'll stick with that explanation Anyone who asks why I consume truck loads of chocolate - "My body told me it neeeeeeeds it!!" Love it.

 

[Redshoes]

Yes mamichuli, I read that chocolate cravings can also be your body wanting more iron, though its dark chocolate which has any decent iron content, so I don't think all the milk chocolate I eat counts

 

[Skyla]

Damn!!

well LO going to like her cheese

If that's the case my LO will have some weird tastes just like Mum. Gherkins, Avocados and green veg have all been on my craving list. Perhaps my LO will be a vegetarian! LOL.

Btw - I had very similar cravings with my first son and he hates all those things now!

i think babies whose mothers ate sweet stuff while pregnant have more of a sweet tooth. i'm like you, i love chocolate and hav been eating lots of cadburys buttons! its a scientific fact that women who eat chocolate during pregnancy give birth to happier babies (lol because i read it in a magazine so it must be true!)

beginning of pregnancy when i was craving it was salt n vinegar walkers crisps and couldnt eat sweets or choc, but now i hardly eat crisps and eat lots of choc and sweet. been buying tons of buscuits also. glad i not been eating aero milk choc cause my fiance would take it off me as its his fav choc also i been only fancying white choc and can only eat a lil milk choc. same at easter can only eat white choc and still got all the choc from easter dont fancy it now

 

[Skyla]

Hehe, crips are a no no for me but I usually love them! I've been eating crazy amounts of pickled cucumber, olives and salad as well as too much chocolate fudge cake from Sainsburys It's just so good!!
