Recently we’ve heard of a worrying trend amongst some women trying to conceive a boy, whereby they cut out eating dairy products. This stems from the belief that eating dairy products will increase your chances of conceiving a girl, so therefore the opposite must be true, that if you cut out eating dairy products completely, it should increase your chances of conceiving a boy.

This is a crazy way of trying to conceive a boy – the whole point of adjusting your diet is to include foods that will help you conceive a baby of a particular gender. Cutting out foods that help you conceive the gender you ‘don’t want’ can be downright dangerous, especially when we’re talking about something as important as dairy products, which provide essential calcium and fats required by your body.

Cutting out groups of foods from your diet is never a good idea in general, whether you’re trying to conceive or not, but in the case of pregnancy, it makes it harder to conceive as you could actually be starving your body of nutrients vital for conceiving and growing a baby. Even if you do manage to conceive, then you could have damaged your health, and harmed the development of the baby.

Please think carefully about your diet, and by all means eat the foods which will help you conceive the baby gender you want. But cutting out an entire group of foods products is just a bad idea.
