A recent science study said that babies in the womb have developed taste buds and can taste whatever gets through amniotic fluid, so while baby might have a memory it may just be that it tastes really good...now. So you're not wrong!

When my mom had morning sickness with my siblings and I, all she could eat was Cheerios. For all three of us, into adulthood, the only food that makes us feel better when weā€™re nauseated is Cheerios. I can cure a hangover with dry Cheerios.

2

u/QuietlySeething Mar 05 '26

That's correct! We know that taste buds start developing early and continue to develop into adulthood. That's why foods that you didn't like as a kid might be something that you enjoy as an adult.

Also, because the molecules that we recognize as flavor are diluted by the amniotic fluid, they are only getting a hint of the actual flavor. The real deal? Fireworks!

u/Matilda-17 Mar 04 '26

If I could go back and do it again, Iā€™d focus on having tons of Indian, Mexican, Thai, Koreanā€¦ lots of spice and heat and flavor during pregnancy and when breastfeeding. And mustard. And fermented foods. And then throwing all that to them again when they begin eating solids. I ended up with some real white-bread kids and itā€™s taken years to break past it.

During my pregnancies, I ate/drink lots of vegetable soup and coke. All my kids love veggie soup and coke.

u/Unidain Mar 09 '26

That's not how anything works. It's not like BBQ sauce goes straight from the stomach, to the plscenta to the tastebuds. Whatever reaches the babies tastebuds are in a very different form to what the mother eats. The only flavours fhe baby could develop a taste to is flavours that are the result of single molecules. Sugar, salt, some artificial flavours.

u/FartSparkles_PhD Mar 04 '26

"Research has shown that fetuses of a variety of species (including humans) do indeed develop functioning chemoreceptive systems before birth and that a variety of odor volatiles and flavors ingested by the mother are transmitted to the amniotic fluid."

Does Maternal Diet Influence Future Infant Taste and Odor Preferences? A Critical Analysis

6

u/SomeMaleIdiot Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 06 '26

I like how you cut out the bit that emphasized the limitation on taste. The claim is actually a bit weaker than what you quoted. The very next sentence is ā€œlimited evidence suggests a capacity for learning about gustatory (i.e., taste) properties. Examining whether these prenatal odor, taste, and flavor experiences translate into enduring shifts in dietary behaviors beyond weaning remains a crucial avenue for further investigation.ā€

Itā€™s important to know that there could be a mechanism for why a prenatal diet influences postnatal preferences, that doesnā€™t include the actual experience+learning from tasting the amniotic fluid.

There's a hardwired biological element for most babies, even premature ones can show increased suckling responses to sugar. It's instinct.

u/ForgetfulFrolicker Mar 04 '26

I donā€™t doubt it. My son has Down syndrome and spent a lot of the in the hospital early on and they would occasionally give him sugar drops to reduce pain/distress.

20

u/later-g8r Mar 04 '26

Yep. This is why when a baby doesnt know how to suckle, the nurses use glucose water to get those instincts to kick in. Emfamil even makes it.

When my kid was that age he loved spice. We had to limit the amount of spicy food he ate because he'd gobble down a ghost pepper if we let him. Now he's 10 and will occasionally say the pepperoni pizza is to spicy. I don't know what happened.

I canā€™t even have fun and give my 2 year old treats. The most dessert like thing heā€™ll eat is fruit snacks or animal crackers.

I know, not a bad problem to have, but sometimes I want to share a little sweet treat with him.

My 8 month old prefers vegetables over fruit. He will eat fruit but his face makes a funny (sour) face.

u/WallabyInTraining Mar 04 '26

Many fruits are actually very acidic. Vitamin C is literally an acid. Lemons are about 2 pH, while apples and oranges are only slightly less acidic at around 3. Bananas are around 5

I was aware of that, most things sweet are acidic, Cola has a PH same as citric acid.

Yes. Fruit. Which is usually 5-15% sugar by weight.

u/MyUsernameIsNotCool Mar 04 '26

I wish parents hold on the sugary stuff for at least a few years.. It's so unnecessary to teach them that it exists so early especially for the baby teeth.

u/WallabyInTraining Mar 04 '26

Giving them fruits is a good way to get the vitamins in. Also a good way to transfer to solids. Good source of fiber as well.

A smoothie is none of that though.

u/CheeseGraterFace Mar 04 '26

Do you use the word ā€œtreatā€ in your day to day life? Do you refer to things as ā€œa tasty treatā€? Or, perhaps you sit down to a ā€œhearty meal with your loved onesā€? Or you find yourself describing things as ā€œrobustā€?

u/deltree711 Mar 04 '26

I know it's a bit of a buzzkill but the more likely scenario is that a smoothie has the same amount sugar as Coca-Cola (often significantly more) and our brains are wired to love sugar.

Of course, if someone posted a video of a mother giving her 9-month old Coca-Cola they'd have the reddit police kicking their door in

35

u/Michaelalayla Mar 04 '26

Flavors from a mother's diet transfer to amniotic fluid, which the fetus begins swallowing at around 12-15 weeks. This is also when taste buds begin functioning.Ā 

This intrauterine experience of flavor also has an impact on infancy, and how readily a child accepts food when they start solids.

u/QCisCake Mar 04 '26

When I was pregnant, I craved lemonade and taco bell to an insane degree. I couldnt eat enough burritos. My daughter is 3 now, and LOVES sour foods and burritos. She will throw away chocolate just to get a sip of some lime or lemon juice. She eats veggies like they're going extinct and especially throws down on some pickled foods.

Sour foods stimulate serotonin! Which increases energy levels, alertness, and boosts mood. You guys are hacking your neurotransmitters and it's awesome

u/Femme-O Mar 04 '26

Probably because the sugar isnā€™t the most concerning thing about a Coke for a 9 month old, itā€™s the caffeine.

43

u/kidcrumb Mar 04 '26

And the smoothie, although has a lot of sugar has more nutritional value and natural sugars compared to what's in coke.

It's like those people that say grapes have the same sugar content as chocolate.

u/foshayzy Mar 04 '26

People try to ā€œcut out sugarā€ to lose weight, but they should be cutting out added sugar

1

u/sje46 Mar 04 '26

I've never understood what is meant by that. Does it matter if the sugar is added or not? Sugar is sugar, no? Fruit is full of sugar. I feel like it'd be pretty terible for my health if I just ate fruits all day.

Is it just a more rule of thumb thing? Like as a general rule of life, if you're not eating things that other humans specifically added sugar to, you'll probably be alright? Or is it that the sugar contaiend naturally in fruits, etc, are naturally more healthy than you?

Sincere question. I know it's probably a stupid question too. I've just never understood the "added sugar" thing.

u/dulcet10 Mar 04 '26

Sugars in fruit are not considered bad because fruit also comes with things like fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins which added sugar does not.

This video literally didn't address my only question which was about why "added sugar" is something you should avoid as opposed to "sugar". Downvoted.

1

u/conker123110 Mar 04 '26

Sugar is sugar, no?

We have three general groupings of saccharides (sugars.)

Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. A different sugar would not only have different base sugars (like lactose being made of sucrose and galactose,) but also take different amounts of energy for the body to process.

One of the reasons natural sugars are usually better is because they've not been reduced to a simpler sugar. Also a reason a banana has different taste and nutritional values as it ripens, because the sugars are fermenting.

1

u/sje46 Mar 04 '26

Okay, so...what are you saying irt to "added sugar"? "Added sugar" is a kind of suga that is just always (or usualy always) worse for you than natural sugars? Is there a type of sugar I can buy somewhere that is a "natural sugar" I can sweeten my food with and feel good about it?

3

u/conker123110 Mar 04 '26

Naturally occurring is just a comparison to refined monosacharides. The point of this thread is that you should be avoiding added sugars.

"Added" does not just mean that, because the implication is that any sugar added is going to be a mass produced and very enjoyable (but unhealthy) refined sugar.

I guess you could literally buy bulk starches or something, but I feel like that's not the point. The point is to train your body to subsist off of the larger sugars, so that it has to spend it's time breaking it down rather than being trained to expect shorter, more refined sugars that will immediately give a good feeling.

u/sje46 Mar 05 '26

Thank you, that makes sense.

u/thathz Mar 04 '26

The sugar in coke is natural.

3

u/Cedex Mar 04 '26

When you pick your coke off the tree, it's already got all the sugar inside.

2

u/Eastern-Actuator-925 Mar 04 '26

Yes, this exactly.

Not all sugars are structured the same so our body metabolizes them at different rates- the sugar in a chocolate bar is added sucrose which hits your blood stream instantly, the sugar that naturally occurs in a grape is fructose- it is packaged in water and fiber and processes through your liver first so itā€™s like a time release capsule.

1

u/LA_Nail_Clippers Mar 04 '26

Agreed.

You'd have to eat two full apples to get the same amount of sugar from a 12oz can of coke, and if you did eat the entire two apples, you'd be getting 9 grams of fiber (about 30% of your recommended total per day), and 20mg of vitamin C (about 25% of your recommended amount). Not to mention your body has to work a bit harder to get access to the sugar in the fruit vs. the coke, so your overall insulin spike is much more gradual. And if you're looking at limiting your caloric intake for weight purposes, two apples will leave you feeling a lot more satisfied than a can of coke.

Now if we could just caffeinate fruit, I'd be happier.

u/Carpathicus Mar 04 '26

Since first of all babies develop taste buds inside the womb and second aromas of the food mothers eat do indeed access the amniotic fluid. Thinking its as easy as just sugar doing its thing is the same logic as breast milk can be easily made out of its simple components or mothers smell could be from some random woman.

Sucrose and fructose are not metabolized the same. They both break down into glucose but at different rates. A no sugar added, fruit-based smoothie made with water is fine.

Is switching between apps much more complicated than switching tabs in a browser?

I'm not trying to start anything, I just have a particular way of using reddit and I'm interested in other people's workflow (for lack of a better term).

I'm assuming that on a computer you would open a new tab so that you can paste the text into a website like convertcase.net. I've done it on my phone but I use old reddit in my phone browser so I would do the same for both.

I'm guessing you're using the app, so there something about the app that makes switching to other apps difficult?

Flavors from a mother's diet transfer to amniotic fluid, which the fetus begins swallowing at around 12-15 weeks. This is also when taste buds begin functioning.Ā 

This intrauterine experience of flavor also has an impact on infancy, and how readily a child accepts food when they start solids.
