Building the baby’s palate from gestation

Those who believe that eating habits begin to form only after the first spoonful are wrong. Baby nutrition while still in the belly is very important for proper growth and development. According to studies, the foods consumed by the mother-to-be interfere with the composition of the amniotic fluid, ingested by the little ones in a good part of the pregnancy. After birth, when it comes time to eat solid foods, children tend to show a preference for familiar flavors, which is why it is so important to maintain a healthy and balanced diet.

The fluid that surrounds the baby is flavored by the food and drinks ingested by the pregnant woman in the last few hours, it is the memory of that aroma/flavor that your puppy will carry even after birth. That is, if the child has healthy foods in his memory, it is very likely that he will be able to eat this type of food in the future.

One of the first surveys on the subject was carried out in the early 2000s by the Monell Chemical Senses research center in the USA, with some pregnant women in the last trimester of pregnancy. The study revealed: the offspring of women who ingested carrot juice during pregnancy and during breastfeeding found it easier to eat baby food based on this vegetable.
