Eating habits during pregnancy...

[Julia]

I've recently read that eating or avoiding particular foods in pregnancy can affect your child's tastes, I ate quite a lot of tagliatelle and spaghetti carbonara and I've recently noticed that my son prefers this type of baby food, in fact anything Italian sounding gets his vote, lasagne, rigatoni, mozzarella etc..

Have any other mothers noticed a connection?

[justine]

yep its true.I have a tasting for cheese all the way through all my pregnancies..My kids love cheese...They would have coke if i let them....They also like any type of music that you listen to for nine months...

I ate toilet roll and tried to lick muddy tatties:eek: thankfully my daughter has not developed a taste for it :lol:

[mums angels]

I'm a really picky eater , i don't eat veg , certain meats etc , i love pasta etc but all 3 of my kids eat almost everything and have always liked veg , meat etc . I would be really worried if what i ate during pregnancy effected my kids eating habits :eek:

I once read though that how much you ate in the first 3 months of pregnancy could effect your babys appetite...if you ate a lot then baby would have smaller appetite and vice versa . Personally i think that they just are the way they are and so far i've been lucky enough to have healthy eaters with good appetites hope i'm as lucky with this one . :D

toast and tomato sauce! yuck! but my daughter asks for it when she has toast to dip it in:eek:

[WeeBurd]

Nope, never noticed any correlation at all, unless you count chocolate [lol].

Both of mine will try pretty much anything, and I'd challenge anyone to find someone fussier than me! ;)

My mum who loves chocolate was ill every time she ate it..While I was on board!

I HATE chocolate!

Embryo power!;)

I took a dislike to red meat, my daughter isn't that bothered about meat I think she could easily be a veggie, I hate veg

[morganria]

Mine was apple juice during first pregnancy and cherry tomatoes (by the punnet) during second - I hated both before being pregnant. Both children love these

[Rie]

How ever this has not affected thair eating habbits (thank god) and although my second is almost a vegie my first is a human dustbin and will eat anything.:roll:

[veekay]

Jelly babies and raw carrots - at the same time - Yum

My mother ate coal when carrying me, glad to say I have never had the urge

[honey]

With my 1st, it was tomato soup, but he wont put any kind of soup near his mouth

my youngest will eat practicaly anything... including dog food given half the chance !!!(he attempted to eat the dry dog food my inlaws new puppy eats:eek:) yet I am the fussiest eater going... so nope, cant say that is true for me...

[sharon]

the strangest cravings i had, was with my oldest........ bono biscuits! thankfully my son didn't develop a liking for the dogs biscuits, they are the only biscuits that lasts in our house now!! [lol]

i could of lived of baked tatties and cheese with my second and she hates it!

[skinnydog]

I was totally addicted to Tesco's tinned fruit cocktail and still love it. My daughter will eat anything but was quite fond of pinching the dogs biscuits out of his bowl!! Didn't seem to do her any harm, she now has the constitution of an ox and is never, ever sick or sorry.
