At my last scan doc said baby weight is on the lower side and i should focus on it. Im in 7th month now. Feeling a bit guilty na. What foods helped your baby gain weight?
Oh, I remember crying so much when my doctor told me my baby's weight was low in the 3rd trimester scan. But trust me, once they are born, they catch up so fast! Just eat a balanced protein diet, have paneer, dal, and eggs, and take your prenatal vitamins regularly.
Haha, my gynac told me to eat more eggs and paneer to increase baby's weight, and I ended up gaining 15 kgs myself while my baby was born a tiny 2.7 kg! But she is perfectly healthy and keeps me awake all night now. Just focus on healthy eating, don't force-feed yourself too much.
Please don't stress too much, dear. Eat healthy home-cooked meals like lentils, green vegetables, and curd daily. Just make sure you get 8 hours of good sleep, your baby will grow well.
Honestly, I just delivered a healthy 3.2 kg baby last month, and in my 8th month, the scan showed he was underweight. I immediately increased my protein intake—ate 2 boiled eggs daily, drank glass of milk with dry fruits, and ate lots of paneer. Also, sleeping on your left side really helps in better blood flow to the baby.
I'm currently in my 32nd week and my doctor also said my baby is slightly on the lower weight side. I've started having double-toned milk and handful of almonds every morning. Are there any specific protein powders or daily foods you guys would recommend?
