In my last scan the doctor said baby weight is a bit on lower side for weeks. She said we will monitor, but I came home and started worrying. What did others do when scan showed baby weight less?
Amma made me drink milk with badam and eat ragi, rice, ghee properly. It helped. But really, ask your doctor first if baby weight is actually a concern, sometimes scans give a slightly off estimate.
Beta ghee, milk, badam, khajoor sab khilao usse, ghar ka khana sabse achha. Hamare zamane mein bhi yahi diya jata tha. But agar doctor bole baby ka weight kam hai to unki diet hi follow karo.
Focus on quality not just quantity, protein and good fats over sugary stuff. My dietician gave me a proper plan because in my case I had to balance carefully. Best to get a diet plan made for your situation rather than random eating.
Eat well and regularly, dont skip meals. Protein like dal, eggs, paneer, milk, dry fruits really help baby gain. But dont overdo, your doctor will tell you if baby weight is actually low or fine, sometimes we worry for nothing.
I used to stress so much about baby weight every scan. My gynac told me to relax, eat balanced and let the body do its work. Adding milk, fruits and a handful of nuts daily helped me feel I was doing my bit.
