Diet for Baby Gender


A new study of over 700 women conducted in Britain in 2008, led by the University of Exeter and University of Oxford shows that Mom's diet may influence baby gender:

For Baby Boy:
- eat breakfast cereal
- eat more total calories around the time of conception
- diet consisting of higher quality diets with wider range of nutrients, including potassium (think bananas, apricots, dried fruit and meat), calcium, vitamins C, E and B12
- Eating around 2,200 calories a day were 1.5 times more likely to have a boy

For Baby Girl:
- skipped breakfast
- eat less calories
- consume magnisium-rich diet (spinach, black beans, nuts and soy beans)

However, these are no reasons for girl yearning mommies to forgo breakfast.

The American Dietetic Association spokeswoman and registered dietitian Elisa Zied said that breakfast foods, especially breakfast cereals, are among the best dietary sources of folic acid , a nutrient that is critical during conception and early pregnancy for preventing birth defects.
