Your Diet During Pregnancy Shapes Your Baby’s Taste Preferences
Did you know that your baby starts experiencing the flavors of your food even before birth?
During pregnancy, the amniotic fluid absorbs the tastes and aromas from the foods you eat, giving your baby their first "taste" of the outside world. This early exposure can influence their food preferences after birth — making maternal nutrition more important than ever.
Expert Advice by Dr. Radhika Bansal:
Dr. Radhika Bansal, a leading Obstetrician, Fertility Specialist & Laparoscopic Surgeon at Maxwell Hospital, emphasizes that a balanced and diverse maternal diet plays a crucial role not only in a baby’s growth but also in shaping their future food choices.
“Eating fresh, nutritious foods helps your baby become more open to different tastes after birth,” says Dr. Radhika Bansal.
Recommended Foods:
Seasonal fruits & vegetables
Whole grains and pulses
Natural spices in moderation
Protein-rich options (paneer, eggs, lentils)
Plenty of fluids and fiber
Avoid:
Junk and processed food
Excess salt, sugar & caffeine
Unpasteurized dairy & raw meat
Maintaining a healthy, well-rounded diet not only supports your pregnancy but also lays the foundation for your child’s lifelong relationship with food.
