Any good milk to introduce for pregnancy 1-3 months? Thanks

Why the need for milk?

Get a well balance diet everyday. That's enough.

Pregnancy milk is high in sugar content, high probability to get GDM.

high sugar also not good for pregnancy

If you got any info then share, else please do not comment and asking why.

I had Anmum during my pregnancy...tried Enfamama too but it's too sweet for my liking

My gynae said just to drink fresh milk- those normal kinds we see at the supermarket. If you can keep it down and not puke your guts out. If not try flavoured milk like anmum mango etc.

At first take enfamama but too sweet. Then take anlene concentrated then occasionally choose chia seed

lamb milk a.k.a susu kambing...


the next best natural milk after mother's milk...

i second this. dieticians say so that they realise mums to be who come to them for dietary counselling after being diagnosed with GDM were on formula milk

go get doctor's opinion first.

it depends on the health and body state your wife is in

soy milk kosong..... bought from pasar or pasar malam.... if not anmum, for me taste like fresh cold chocolate milk at supermarket like magnolia one (im buying the chocolate favour last time)

Advisable to read the ingredients of the milk products carefully. If you're buying fresh milk and make sure choose pasteurised milk. Just my humble opinion

My wife took frisomom

so how is frisomom?

why decide to take that brand?
any advice?

Previously my first child, my wife used anmum but doctor said high sugar level.. So for this 2nd child we tried frisomom, and so far no issue at all.

what is wrong with fresh milk?

There's nothing wrong with fresh milk, but for my case, I drank 2 mugs daily and yet my calcium level was below average for my age range. Every time doctor see my calcium level, he'll be like, "You hate milk is it?" I said no cause I like milk and frequently eats dairies like plain yogurt and cheese.

I like fresh milk's taste over any milk powder or UHT milk, but had since switched to Anlene. I haven't tested my calcium after switching to Anlene for 10 months, but (ok, I don't know if this is connected or not) my back pain is obviously getting better. I will continue with Anlene even when pregnant. Although I must say, I hate the taste.

Perhaps you should find the root of the problem. Switching to high Ca milk may resolve some of the immediate problem, but something is not right if your Ca is twice below as you claim.

Eg maybe second opinion or lab test from another center...

calcium is one thing, Vitamin D is another.
A lot of people that takes a lot of calcium, but this calcium never absorbed into the body.

reason? not enough Vit D.

Vit D helps and improves the absorption of Calcium.

so basically you drink Milk, but the Calcium is wasted, leaking.
The Vit D acts as mediator, makes ur body absorb it. Patch the leakage.

get to rest more, eat balance, eat fruits, bangsai ok
eat pills that doctor give u, good enough

I do not have backpain after taking dairy, I have back pain for unknown reason but drinking anlene reduces it.

Bad news is that at 7 weeks now, I am suddenly lactose intolerant. I get diarrhea after drinking anlene or fresh milk. Now on soy milk and am testing plain yogurt little by little.

Correct me if I am wrong, I strongly suggest breast milk, it is the best you can ever give to a baby.

TS is asking milk for pregnancy.baby pun tak keluar lagi where the breast milk comes from?

Hahaha.. Please forgive the guy. Maybe he log into wrong forum..

Anyway.. I tried taking Anmum Materna. Too sweet

So i stick to fresh milk and yogurt also eat a lot of healthy snacks and ensure balance diet.

I didn't take formula milk, I m taking soy protein (powder type) during my pregnancy.

I just notice Homesoy is not calcium fortified? What should I do? I get stomach upset from milk now and can't keep the calcium pills down without puking.
