My MIL gave me a bowl of ripe papaya yesterday and after eating I suddenly got tension because everyone says papaya is not good na. But she says only kacha papaya is the problem, pakka one is fine. Now im confused, koi bata do pls.
I totally understand how hard it is to curb cravings when you really want to eat something! But for your precious little one's safety, maybe just skip papaya for now. Your baby's health is worth all these small sacrifices.
Beta, our elders always say to avoid papaya completely during these nine months, whether ripe or unripe. Why take any risk when we have so many other fruits like apples and pomegranates? Just eat ghar ka khana and stay safe.
During pregnancy my gynac told me to skip it just to be on the safer side. But after delivery, I started having it again and it really helped with my digestion while breastfeeding.
Apart from the traditional warnings, ripe papaya can also spike sugar levels if you are prone to diabetes. I had to monitor my diet strictly, so my doctor suggested keeping fruits limited to apples or guava.
Honestly, I just avoided papaya entirely because everyone in my family was so scared about it. I didn't want to overthink or feel guilty later, so I just stuck to bananas and oranges.
