Don’t eat plantain when pregnant or the baby’s soft spot will be too deep.

Ah… so no more dodo?

There’s no truth to this. What a pregnant woman eats does not determine how deep a baby’s fontanelle (soft spot) will be.

A sunken or depressed fontanelle is usually a sign of dehydration in the baby, not a result of the mother enjoying plantain during pregnancy.

So, eat your plantain in peace…unless there’s any other reason (medical and otherwise) why you should not eat it. Just make sure your baby stays well hydrated after birth
