My MIL keeps pushing me to have a glass of horlicks every night saying it will give strength. I dont mind but just wanted to check if its actually ok during pregnancy. anyone here drinking it daily?
Honestly a good balanced diet does the same job, these drinks are optional not must have. I had it sometimes but didnt spend a lot on it. If budget is tight, plain milk plus your prescribed supplements work fine.
My family encouraged me to have it for extra nutrition and I enjoyed the warm milk. There is a maternal variety which my gynac was okay with. If you have gestational diabetes, do check the sugar content with your doctor.
Yes, there is even a special mothers version of these health drinks. I had one cup of milk with it daily, no problem at all. Just dont treat it as a replacement for real food, it is an add on.
