    I've heard contradictory statements about this one. Some people say the baby will get a lot of hair if we drink coconut water but some say the baby will be as bald as a coot.
    I want to have it for its nutritional benefits but am skeptical. thinkingsmiley
    Can someone clarify this with your experiences?

    sharing my experience..I used to drink cocunut water during my last months for its nutritional benefits and cooling effects. my baby was born with good decent hair:)
    it was not too thick but was not bald either..

    Same in my case..I drank coconut water in all 9 month of pregnancy as it's my favorite drink. In 9th month drink, i drank almost every day. My DD had good hair, neither much nor less.

    Coconut water contains more potassium. Apart from that it is just a water. If one has severe vomiting and loose motion, then coconut water is recommended because, it replaces the lost electrolytes.

    Apart from that there is no advantage in any way , if a pregnant woman regularly drinks coconut water.

    in my country, the elders advice to drink coconut water for its cooling effect on baby. some says the baby will have nice skin also. havent heard about the hair though.
