She has a sweet tooth like her momma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-and-drinks-to-reach-the-baby#post-262424 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:37:06 +0000 MamaMoose 262424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby always kicks right after I eat too. (By the way, I didn't know you found out it's a girl, congrats!!). However I was reading this morning about how what we eat changes the "flavor" of the amniotic fluid but that doesn't happen until about 2 hours after we eat. So I think @chopsuey119: is right that they probably sense that something is up before the food actually gets to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-and-drinks-to-reach-the-baby#post-262423 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:36:30 +0000 Andrea 262423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I'm just amazed that she reacts almost immediately. This baby likes to eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-and-drinks-to-reach-the-baby#post-262421 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:34:55 +0000 Mrsbells 262421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your blood sugar goes up very soon after eating because certain sugars start digesting and being broken down in your mouth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-and-drinks-to-reach-the-baby#post-262417 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:29:20 +0000 Andrea 262417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: it must be something. I was wondering if she can hear me chewing and swallowing. Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-and-drinks-to-reach-the-baby#post-262411 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:28:04 +0000 chopsuey 262411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure! I think maybe they feel the movement of our intestines first? haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-food-and-drinks-to-reach-the-baby#post-262408 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:26:34 +0000 Andrea 262408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby girl starts kicking almost as soon as I start eating, every time. I guess it gets down there really quick? </p>
