How To Make a Baby Boy – The Y Chromosome Factor

When it comes to having a baby a lot of couples  prefer to have a boy, especially couples who already have girls. Moreover societal and cultural norms in certain countries influence people to conceive a boy. Sex selection of your baby isn’t something new, in fact it is a very old practice. So if you are thinking about how to make a baby boy here are a few tips that can tilt the odds in your favor.

The first step is to know about the factors that will help you know how to make a baby boy. In this regard Alicia Pennington’s pregnancy guide book “Prince or Princess” is a great resource. Once you know them you can tweak the factors to make a baby boy. We all know that the male sperm fertilizes the female egg to give birth to a baby making it a contributing factor in deciding the gender of your baby.

Genetically a female is XX so she can only contribute an X to the baby whereas a male is XY. Chromosome X is heavy, slow moving and responsible for conceiving a baby girl. Chromosome Y is lighter and faster in movement and responsible for conceiving a baby boy and within it lies the answer to your question – how to make a baby boy?

Now let us explore the different factors which will ensure that the male sperm or chromosome Y fertilizes the egg.

The Time of Intercourse

As mentioned earlier the lifespan of the chromosome Y sperm is very short so timing the intercourse becomes very crucial. If you want to make a baby boy you should time your intercourse as close to ovulation as possible. Having intercourse a couple of days before ovulation means that the chromosome Y sperms (which are short lived) will die even before reaching the egg, leaving behind the female sperms. In order to conceive a baby boy it is crucial that your intercourse time should be as close to ovulation as possible. A good way to determine the time is to use ovulation prediction kits (OPK); for better results use urine-based OPKs.

Sex Positions and Orgasm

Sex positions also play an important role in deciding the gender of your baby. For couples hoping to make a baby boy deeper penetration is always advised. The reason being the nature of the male sperm (chromosome Y). As they are fast and short lived so a deeper penetration increases their chances of fertilizing the egg.

Another reason as to why deeper penetration is recommended for having a boy gender is due to the environment of the vagina. The acidic environment of the vagina is unfavorable for the Y-chromosome but deeper penetration during intercourse delivers the  Y-chromosome near the cervix which has a favorable alkaline environment.

Another way of increasing the chances of making a baby boy is having an orgasm. When a woman reaches orgasm  the body creates a substance that makes the environment of the vagina more favorable for the Y chromosome thus increasing the chances of conceiving a baby boy.

Diet For How to Make a Baby Boy

A lot of research has been done regarding the relation between conceiving a baby boy and the diet of a pregnant woman. A diet high in sodium and potassium is recommended as they help to lower the PH levels of the vagina making the environment favorable for the Y chromosome. Banana, figs, nuts, apricots, raisins  are rich in potassium and sodium.. According to Alicia Pennington, author of the hugely successful Prince or Princess guide certain dietary modifications prior to conception can increase your chances of having a baby boy by more than 90%.

The answer to your question how to make a baby boy will be solved if you can follow the above steps.
