Ayurveda rishis advise the consumption of oil to the mother in case of delivery of a male baby. Ghee is advised in case of the delivery of a female baby. [Ka.Sa. Khila Sthana 11/32]  The reason might be dosha specific activity of oil and ghee. Ghee helps to pacify vata and pitta dosha. Oil helps to pacify vata and kapha dosha. These dosha variations might have been observed in postpartum period as per the gender of the fetus.

Current research shows that the maternal immune milieu undergoes many changes based on the sex of the fetus. An increase in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and proangiogenic growth factors is observed in mother in the case of the male fetus. An increase in the expression of regulatory cytokines is found in the case of a female fetus. However, there was no fetal sex-based difference in their concentrations at the postpartum measurement.   The reasons for physiological changes in the mother according to the gender of the baby is still unknown. Specific use of oil and ghee depending upon the gender of the baby is an area of research to be explored for better understanding.
