7 Things That Influence What Your Baby Will Look Like

One of the most common questions in an expecting mother’s mind is what her unborn baby will look like. From the moment we realize we’re pregnant until the day our baby is in our arms, most mothers will spend countless hours daydreaming about who their little one will resemble. Most babies will look more like mom, more like dad, or a curiously even combination of the two. On the other hand, some babies come out looking like no one expected!

There are a great number of factors that go into what your unborn baby will look like. Here are some of the most common things that can influence how your baby will look when they finally make their grand debut.

DNA

Everyone knows that DNA is what determines your baby’s appearance. But DNA is a very complex subject. Everything from hair color, eye color, height, and weight to the placement of dimples or freckles can be dictated by you or your partner’s (or both!) DNA. And while, in most cases, dominant genes win the DNA fight, every now and then, a recessive gene will come out of nowhere and surprise everyone!

Alcohol

While some studies show that a tiny amount of alcohol every now and then may be okay for women during pregnancy, there is a chance that any alcohol consumption could result in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. This syndrome can cause a developing fetus to be born with unique facial appearances such as very small eyes or thin lips. It can also affect a child’s cognitive and developmental abilities.

Healthy Habits

Moms who make poor exercise and food choices while pregnant may affect whether their child will be born at a healthy weight. Studies show that obese moms are more likely to give birth to babies who later also become obese. From the moment you realize you’re pregnant (and even before!), make sure you are making healthy, nutritious food choices. And don’t skip that exercise!

Supplements

Prenatal vitamins are important for a great number of reasons. But one supplement, in particular, can affect the baby’s appearance more than others. Folate is critical in helping to form your baby’s spine. A folate deficiency can result in spina bifida.

Caffeine

Studies have shown that excessive caffeine consumption may affect a baby’s birth weight, producing a newborn that is smaller and slimmer than normal at birth. It is best to limit your caffeine consumption to the equivalent of one cup of coffee a day or less.

Traveling

Extensive airline travel can expose a pregnant mama to unhealthy levels of radiation. As you can imagine, radiation is not recommended for a developing fetus and can potentially affect your baby’s appearance. Periodic travel during pregnancy is considered safe for most women, however.

Family History

Your family’s history can play a part in how your baby looks. Like recessive genes, some inherited genes may lay “dormant” or “skip” generations and suddenly pop up to surprise families when they least expect it!

While there’s no way to tell exactly what your baby will look like before he or she is born, these are some of the ways that may influence their appearance. As a mom of two myself, I was surprised to find that my daughter came out looking exactly like my husband but had my personality. On the other hand, my son was my mini-me with his daddy’s infectious wit and charm. One of the best things about parenthood, I think, is being surprised by the wonderful little human beings you and your partner have created. They change so much every day, so be sure to savor every moment!

What Makes a Baby — Cory Silverberg

What Makes a Baby is a book for every kind of family and every kind of kid. It is a 21st century children’s picture book about where babies come from that reflects the reality of our modern time by being inclusive of all kinds of kids, adults, and families, however they came to be.

Geared to readers from pre-school to 8 years old, it teaches curious kids about conception, gestation, and birth in a way that works regardless of whether or not the kid in question was adopted, conceived using reproductive technologies, at home or in a clinic, through surrogacy, or the old fashioned way, and regardless of how many people were involved, their orientation, gender and other identity, or family composition. Just as important, the story doesn’t gender people or body parts, so most parents and families will find that it leaves room for them to educate their child without having to erase their own experience.

Most books about where babies come from leave many of us out. They tell a nice story (mommy + daddy + intercourse = you!) but the truth is that more and more of us are acknowledging the help we get to bring children into our lives. That help might be a doctor, fertility clinic, adoption or foster agency; it might be a turkey baster and a friend; it might be a sperm donor or a surrogate. What Makes a Baby helps parents tell children a story about where they came from that isn’t just true for them, but true for everyone.

What Makes a Baby began as a self-published book funded through Kickstarter. It was the most funded picture book Kickstarter had at the time, raising over $65,000 in 30 days. After the initial print run, the book was published by Seven Stories Press.

Thank you so much for your review!

Nonsense

The resulting photos don't look like any of our children! Then they tried it on friends and relatives. It turns out all the same for different pairs. They apparently have about 3 variants of children, just the ones that are indicated on their samples.

Thank you for using the app. The babies will have the same pose, but will have different faces depending on the photo of dad and mom provided. Nature is very diverse, even siblings have different faces. The app just gives an idea of the future baby face.
