Bf won’t stop telling me what to do

Eat what you feel and like @Laurel said as long at you don’t have gestational diabetes you should be perfectly fine mama.
My partner cares about what I eat to a moderate extent, primarily looks at ingredient lists and googles them to see if they could impact the baby’s development. Like apparently BTH is a preservative that isn’t great, and neither is licorice. Didn’t know any of these things before getting pregnant and googling everything. I care about what I eat to the extent that it could impact the child’s appetite or his metabolism in the future. I hope that he has a developed taste for a wide variety of healthy foods. Of course, I have my treats every day too though- ice creqm, pizza, fries.. kid needs to be able to process processed foods. 😆 In the end, your bf seems to be coming from a good place, but sounds like you need some aligning to do. Best thing is to talk to a nutritionist, they’re totally reasonable people and could help your bf chillax and know your baby is fine. I hope you two are able to sync up! Use third party help if needed!
A lot of people will say that they ate this or that and their babies came out fine— but I would look at long term effects. I say this because I worked as a behavioral therapist for a long time, and diet definitely impacts a child’s behaviors at home and in school.
As long as you don’t have gestational diabetes he needs to calm down! It’s sweet that he cares about you and baby but at the same time your a person who should be able to make their own decisions and a little sweet food won’t hurt!
