to the person asking about nutritional requirements of a baby, the only logical explanation of why a ghoul in particular can only eat human flesh would be that a ghoul's body is unable to process unnecessary nutrients that normal food provides (thus, it can only gain its sustenance from a direct source like another human body that has exactly the same and necessary nutrients that it needs w/o any filler). a developing baby only requires a larger and more specific nutritional intake than a grown human because it's constantly growing/cells are dividing (hence why pregnant women are told to take folic acid-- it's necessary for cell growth and a normal diet wouldn't have enough folic acid to sustain the mother and the baby's cell needs). regardless, from a totally biological point of view, a human woman pregnant with a ghoul child would only need to have to alter her diet if the developing baby required even more nutrients than a normal human child, since a pregnant woman only feeds her unborn baby "purified" nutrients through the umbilical cord so the issue of "impurity" of other foods wouldn't really be an issue.
