The Womb Is A Classroom

Babies learn quite a few things while they're still in their mommy's womb. They indirectly capture a mother's experiences as well as her emotions. So it's no wonder now that Ali seems so different from Adi (when he was a baby).

From her eating habits, to her sleeping patterns, Ali exudes kewl-ness. Perhaps that's how it is with most second pregnancies -- the mom is not as anxious or diet-restrictive as she was during the first pregnancy.

So you mommies out there, try to remember that your yet-to-be-born child is watching you. And learning and remembering, too! That means not drastically changing your diet after you give birth because it could confuse and upset your breastfeeding child.
