Is there anyway to have a certain sex baby from eating food or sex position?
@pollypower that’s a great question. I have been seeing a lot of things lately around this topic too
Hi @pollypower and @Caiti, there are many traditions and beliefs surrounding this, however I don’t have any evidence to support this notion. New technologies in artificial insemination and in vitro fertilisation provide opportunities for sex-selection, however its only performed in certain situations such as reducing the risk of sex-linked genetic disorders.
