Early pregnancy cravings

[atomic sagebrush]

For those who had food aversion in ur previous pregnancies, did u notice a correlation between aversion and your child being a picky eater??

My MIL says that I should force myself to eat if I don't want a super picky child

None whatsoever. I found that my two picky eaters have blue eyes and my 3 non-pickies have brown, so I suspect (and data indicates) there may be some genetic correlation with pickiness (not the blue-eyed/brown eyed thing, that's just how it manifested with mine) There is actually a gene called "the yuck factor" or "super taster" that makes bitter foods taste worse to some than others.

Some data suggests your child will like spicy foods more if you eat them but no one is quite sure if it's because of something that happens in utero or due to breastfeeding.

I had HG with both my pregnancies. I really couldn't eat much but with my eldest there was no way I could ever eat chicken ! Now? It's his favourite meat. It's all he eats. My second son I couldn't stand lamb .... He loves red meat and I don't even eat steak lol. So I don't believe that at all
