Interesting Article - What Have You Heard?
Posted: 09-06-07 11:21am

I read somewhere that your baby inside you will learn to like the same kinds of foods that the mother eats, and that there are studies being done on the subject. Like if the mom eats alot of carrots, the baby will develop a taste for carrots too.

Do you believe this? Or do you think it's a bunch of hoopla.

Hmmm...I thought I'd do an experiment and eat a lot of taco bell (since I love it) and see if my baby winds up liking it just as much as i do. hee hee. I told my husband (who hates the Bell) that I'm going to make a little Taco Bell warrior, and it'll be two against one later. Wink

finn will eat anything with gusto so i can't really test this theory.

i don't believe it though. the baby isn't "eating" what you're eating, it's not like they're tasting that orange or that cheeseburger.
