How to increase weight of baby in 8 month pregnancy?
Last scan my doc said babys weight is on the lower side for 8 months and I cant stop thinking about it. I want to eat the right things now to help. Mommies who went through this, what did u add to ur diet?
My family fed me ghee, dry fruits, milk and ragi in the last months for the baby's weight. It is comforting food, na. But I always cross checked with my doctor at each scan to be sure baby was on track.
If your scan showed the baby is small, please dont just try random foods, talk to your gynac closely. In my case they monitored growth with extra scans and adjusted my diet properly. Better to be guided than to guess at this stage.
When my baby measured a little small, my doctor put me on a protein rich diet and added a supplement. She said good rest and managing BP and sugar also matter for the baby's growth, not just food. So I would really follow your gynac's specific plan here.
Focus on protein and healthy fats like milk, paneer, eggs, dal, nuts and ghee, eaten in small frequent meals. Dont just eat sweets, that adds the wrong kind of weight. But please let your gynac guide the diet since they know exactly how the baby is measuring.
