Im in my second trimester and everyone in family is giving different advice about what to eat for a sharp baby. Walnuts, ghee, saffron milk and so on. Curious what you all actually ate and believe in.

Haha if walnuts made geniuses I'd have eaten a kilo a day! Jokes apart, I loaded up on nuts, eggs, fruits and dal and felt great. Eat varied and colourful, the baby gets the goodness. And enjoy your food, a happy mom is good for baby too.

No single magic food, but walnuts, eggs and greens help brain growth. Balanced diet plus your supplements is the key.

Honestly the intelligent baby thing is a bit of a myth, but good nutrition does support brain growth. I focused on nuts, eggs, leafy greens, dairy and my supplements. Talk to your gynac or a dietitian for a plan suited to you rather than chasing trends.

Beta in our families we always gave almonds, walnuts, milk with a little kesar, ghee, all good for the baby. These wholesome foods do help. But dont believe any one food makes the child super smart, balanced khana and a happy calm mind matter most.

My doctor said theres no magic food that makes a genius, but omega 3 foods like walnuts, eggs and fish are good for the baby's brain development. Also folic acid and iron rich foods matter a lot in early weeks. Basically a balanced plate plus your prescribed supplements is the real secret.
