A fetus feeds from its mother as soon as it begins to form. The nutrients are pumped directly into the bloodstream from its connection to the mother.


However; in the typical sense of eating: as-in putting food into the mouth and digesting. A fetus never eats, a child will not be capable of ingesting food through the mouth and digesting until after it has been born and has long since stopped being a fetus.

Do you eat your twin while in the womb?

In humans the answer is absolutely not, although some weird things can happen like conjoined twins, or one twin dying early on and the other growing and absorbing it, however eating does not happen. Food for babies in the womb is supplied directly from the mother to the child via the umbilical cord, therefore the fetus has no requirement to eat as you and I do. Interesting fact some species of shark do indeed have young that eat their smaller, weaker siblings while still in the womb. Cool, huh?


When the baby is in the womb is the mom doesn't eat breakfast does the baby get hungry?

Not for skipping one meal I think, especially since they need so little but the baby takes what it needs first and then the mothers body takes what is left over. But especially during pregnancy is it important to eat properly.
