Hi,
Ice creams and cold beverages per se do not cause baby to become huge however, these are high calorie food items and if the mother is a diabetic then there is definitely a chance for the baby to be big and getting delivered by caesarian. If the mother is not diabetic then the high calorie food may make the mother obese without causing any significant increase in the baby's size.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
