Im 2 months along and mom is insisting i drink horlicks every morning for strength. I usually dont have milk drinks so just want to check before i start. Anyone been told its fine?
I had the mothers horlicks but balanced it with my normal diet and walks. It is fine, just remember it is not a replacement for real food. Treat it as a supplement only.
Yes I drank the mothers horlicks variety during both pregnancies. It is just a malt drink with added vitamins, nothing harmful. Just dont overdo the sugar, one glass a day is enough.
My mother in law insisted on horlicks milk every morning and it was actually comforting. It is generally safe. But I always checked with my doctor about my overall diet just to be sure.
Beta in our time we just had warm milk with a little haldi, but horlicks is also fine if you like the taste. Add it to milk and have it at night. But if you have sugar issues, better ask your doctor first.
Just a gentle caution, I had gestational diabetes so I had to avoid the regular horlicks because of the sugar. There are sugar free or diabetic versions, but please check with your gynac before adding it daily. For me even small things spiked my levels.
