Systematic reviews were completed to examine the relationships between maternal diet during pregnancy and lactation; amniotic fluid flavor; breast milk flavor, and children's food acceptability and overall dietary intake into adulthood.

A literature search was conducted in 10 databases (e.g., Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL) to identify articles published from January 1980 to June 2017.

Data from each included study were extracted, risk of bias assessed, evidence synthesized qualitatively, conclusion statements developed, and strength of the evidence graded.
