My relatives are constantly recommending Mother's Horlicks for extra nutrition during pregnancy. I just wanted to check if it's actually beneficial and safe to drink daily. Has anyone else included it in their diet?
Honestly, it is a bit expensive compared to regular milk or simple home foods. If your doctor has already prescribed expensive prenatal vitamins, you can skip these branded health drinks to save on your monthly budget. Plain milk with badam is just as good.
Yes, Mother's Horlicks is specially formulated with micro-nutrients for pregnancy. But since many of these drinks contain added sugar, it is best to consult your gynac once before starting it, especially if you have a family history of diabetes.
It's safe to have, but I preferred putting dry fruit powder in my milk instead of packaged mixes. Also, if you ever feel dizzy, get severe headaches or high BP, please don't try home remedies and consult your doctor immediately.
Yes dear, my mother used to give me Mother's Horlicks twice a day with warm milk. She said it would help with baby's weight, and it actually tasted quite nice and comforting.
Yes you can, I have been drinking it to survive my midnight hunger pangs! In this 3rd trimester, I'm too tired to make complex snacks so a quick glass of this milk is a lifesaver.
