There is no evidence for these myths. Anything consumed in regular proportions won’t harm mother or baby

Hello. There is absolutely no correlation between having cold food and baby catching an illness. Having ice cream once in a while is definitely ok! Otherwise a well balanced diet, adequate hydration with one or two glasses of milk a day should be taken.
