Yes.
The fetus can't decide what to eat or drink, it gets everything from the mother. If the mother gets what she needs, then the fetus can get what it needs. If the mother is eating junk, then the fetus is getting junk. If the mother does drugs, some of those are passed on to the fetus as well.
Sometimes, babies born by addicted mothers have to go straight to rehab to cure them of their addicitions.

Why does the mother have to eat sensibly when during pregnancy?
Because you have to remember,that when you are pregnant, you have a rapidly, and I mean rapidly growing baby inside your uterus, and they need very good nutrition. Also, if a fetus does not have proper nutrition, nutrition will be taken from the mother to accomodate the fetus. Obviously, this is not good for the mother. That is not to say a mother cannot have sweets during pregnancy, she just has to remember that healthy foods help make a healthy baby!

Can mothers make their babies healthy by having good nutrition?
I believe this question is poorly phrased. A mother cannot make her child do anything, save for cease to exist, (Through an abortion.) or to exist. (Through successful childbirth.) Nonetheless: The fetus receives all nutrituion from its mother. Anything the mother eats, the fetus essentially eats, hence "eating for two." And as a fetus has all of the nutritional demands of a human, yes, a mother's nutrition is important in the health of the child. This works the other way too- alcohol, drugs, smoke and the sort have a negative impact on the baby. I digress. Yes, a mother's nutrition has a huge impact on the health of her child. If the question refers to a newborn, however, then only to some degree. As long as the babe still relys on mother's milk her nutrition is still of value as she provides immunization against several nasty types of virus. But once the baby has stopped taking milk from its mother, her health and nutrition have positively nothing to do with the baby's health.
