Breastfeeding FAQs

Changes in taste and smell are often reported by pregnant women, with varying degrees of severity, it is very much an individual response.  These taste changes can be caused by hormonal changes, or they can simply arise as a result of some of the classic symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness in the early stages, or heartburn in later pregnancy. Remember pregnancy is relatively short, if you need to avoid certain foods or your taste preferences change during this time, know that it may not last forever and you’ll be back to your ’normal’ diet in no time.
