Pregnancy Week 21

Your baby’s senses of taste and smell continue developing this week. Soon, his brain will be mature enough to memorize these sensory experiences.

Nutrition Top Tip – Week 21

Babies are more likely to prefer flavors experienced before birth: A recent medical study has shown that babies who experienced the flavors of vegetables (i.e., carrots) while in the womb, ate later more of a carrot flavored cereal than babies with no exposure to carrots during pregnancy.

Therefore, eating a great variety of foods during pregnancy exposes your baby to different flavors, helping him/her accept new foods later on.
