A few days ago I posted here that breast milk changes if the baby is sick. Today I come with another one that left me stunned, same friend told me that babies in the womb can taste what the mother eats.
I thought it was an exaggeration, but it turns out it's true and there are 4D ultrasound studies that prove it. The flavor passes into the amniotic fluid, and the baby inhales and swallows it, and they don't just taste it, they remember it.
A follow-up study found that newborns reacted more positively to the smell of foods their mothers had eaten repeatedly during pregnancy. The biology of mothers is wild, first milk adapting to a sick baby, now this. What other things do we know are true but sound like magic?
