The vast majority of expectant mothers try to take care of their diet in order to ensure the harmonious development of the child even before his birth.

At the same time, the question arises: will the baby like what his mother ate when she was pregnant with him?

Here are some facts from recent research that suggest this is more than likely.

1. Already in the 11th week of intrauterine development, the baby begins to perceive the smells of the products that make up its mother’s diet.

2. All children have an innate aversion to bitter and sour tastes.

3. Regardless of the previous fact, individual taste preferences begin to form even when the child is in the mother’s womb, and can outweigh those laid down by nature.

To summarize, the quality and variety of a mother's diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding play a key role in shaping her child's taste preferences.

Therefore, if you want your baby to enjoy eating porridge and broccoli, you should include them in your diet from the third month of pregnancy.

Earlier we told you what to do if your child is constantly “sticking” to you and demanding attention.
