I'm not a doctor, but I can tell you a baby wouldn't get dry skin from the mother eating ice cubes. Ice is water, and you & your baby's body are 65-90% water.

Why do you need a doctor to tell you, of course your baby won't get dry skin if you drink lots of water when you're pregnant? All ice cubes are is water.

All babies get dry skin.
It doesn't matter if the mom eats ice cubes or not.

I am a family doctor and no that is just a myth but i must warn you do not and i mean not eat more than half a pound a day or that baby will get what you would call a brain freeze and could stop the brain from devloping right!

ice cubes are just frozen water, and water moisturizes the skin so it will be good for you and your baby, but chewing ice can ruin your teeth so be careful

Sounds like a myth, but craving ice is often a sign of iron deficiency. You should your iron levels checked.
