Tips On How to Get The Baby that You Want!

Various strategies for conceiving a child of a certain sex have been around for many centuries. Some parents might already have had a baby girl and is opting to have a baby boy next and vice versa.

But is there really a way for parents to select the desired gender of  their baby in the process of creating it?

Dr. Landrum Shettles, a U.S. doctor, believes it is possible to select the baby you want and developed a natural method on how to conceive a female or male baby in his book "How to Choose the Gender of Your Infant."

For a female infant, Dr. Shetteles advises the mother increases her calcium and magnesium intake, while avoiding foods high in potassium and sodium. Also, Shettles advise having sex later than two to three days before ovulation.

For a male infant, Dr. Shettles says the mother should increase potassium and sodium intake. Intercourse should be a day or two after ovulation. Positions are to be taken note too, as deep penetration, such as the man standing on his knees behind the woman allows the sperm to have lesser travel time to the cervix.

Though yet to be scientifically approved, Dr. Shettles' method was said to have 75-90% success rates.
