Do your kids like the foods you craved in pregnancy?

I was super healthy in my last pregnancy and DC is now a good eater, loves fruit and vegetables - but not too keen on meat which I didn't really eat while pregnant with him.

This time I've got insane sugar cravings and I'm trying my hardest but healthy food makes me feel sick (6mos now so not morning sickness!) Hoping that doesn't mean I'll have a sugar-obsessed baby.

No it doesn't mean that at all, no connection whatsoever.

I had extra hot chilli powder on everything. The kids definitely don’t like that!

I craved carvery with dd2. She can take them or leave them at 4. I still bloody love them though and can’t wait to go again!

No links to your diet during pregnancy and a child's taste later.

I love fruit and veg and weaned our kids on those so they are big fans. They're pretty good eaters in general but can still be sugar fiends.

No. I was obsessed with grapefruit when I was expecting DD. She can’t stand the stuff.

Ate curry pretty much every day with DS. He can’t bear anything with a sauce or spice. 🤦‍♀️

I’m always obsessed with chilli sauce every time I’m pregnant. 1 out of 4 of my children like chilli haha

I was obsessed with green veg for my first and ate very healthily throughout. Husband eats mostly junk food, has what I consider weird obsessions (like pot noodles, wasabi etc.) and has food aversions. My daughter has her Dad's tastes which I find freaky sometimes. We don't often eat together so she's definitely not copying his reactions.

Yes, a bit!

I craved tuna sandwiches, crisps and lemonade with my first, and he loves fish of all kinds and lemons.

Pizza and Haribo with my second. She definitely likes pizza, though won't be having Haribo for a while!

Currently pregnant with #3 and it's apples and bagels all the way.

However, I'm sure I'm remembering things that confirm the theory and forgetting all the foods where it doesn't match up. The fish thing for my firstborn is interesting to me, though, because it's a commonly disliked food and he's always loved it.

I craved curry when I was pregnant, ds absolutely loves it too now. It could just be a coincidence though!
My mum craved lemons while pregnant with me and although I love them too and everything lemony, I can’t eat them like they’re oranges as she did!!
