Although your baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid,
the sense of smell is already up and running well before birth. Your baby’s sense of smell starts developing early on in pregnancy around weeks 6 and 7. Since what you eat gets passed on to your amniotic fluid, your baby not only tastes but smells some of the foods you swallow during late pregnancy. When pregnant women eat certain strongly-flavored foods during the last months of pregnancy, newborn babies recognize the odors immediately after birth.Those memories may last for years
