What Does Baby Taste in the Womb?

Develop your baby's taste buds to love healthy foods in the womb and beyond!
"Fetal taste buds are said to develop just 13 to 15 weeks into pregnancy, and we're also told that babies can distinguish between different flavours in breast milk. But do flavours also get into the amniotic fluid? ...
More recently, [Julie Mennella, a taste researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia] says she has found that infants whose mothers ate a lot of fruit during pregnancy are more accepting of fruit when it is introduced to them during weaning. 'The baby is learning what foods mom likes,' she says. 'I think it's the first way they learn what foods are safe and also what foods are available.'
Pregnancy and lactation may therefore be ideal times to set babies a good example by eating a healthy and varied diet, [Mennella] suggests."
