Will eating bird's nest during pregnancy make the baby's skin white?

Every parent hopes that their child will be fair and have a rosy face. For this reason, many pregnant women will eat foods that can help their children's skin whiten during pregnancy. Bird's nest is one of the foods that many pregnant women often choose. Bird's nest is rich in nutrients. While helping children whiten their skin, it can also supplement the nutrients needed by pregnant women. However, there are still doubts about whether bird's nest can make children's skin white. The following is a detailed introduction on whether eating bird's nest during pregnancy can make your baby's skin white?

The saying that pregnant women eating bird's nests can make the skin of the fetus whiter and more delicate does make sense. Modern science has discovered that bird's nests contain unique bioactive protein molecules (commonly known as collagen), which have the functions of promoting epidermal cell regeneration, increasing the immune function of induced cells, and increasing the individual's resistance to X-ray damage. This protein cell is easily absorbed by the human body, which is unmatched by proteins in other foods.

However, in the eyes of Western medicine, the function of bird's nest seems to be exaggerated. An obstetrician and gynecologist said that there is no scientific basis to verify the statement that "pregnant women eating bird's nest can make the fetus whiter." The skin condition of the fetus is largely related to genetic genes. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bird's nest has a nourishing effect, but when we analyzed its chemical composition, we found that it does not contain any ingredient that can make the fetus white.
