My mom keeps stuffing akhrot in my breakfast saying its good for baby's brain. I do eat it but wanted to confirm if its actually fine in pregnancy. Anyone know?
When I was staying at my mom's place, she would soak 2-3 walnuts overnight and give them to me first thing in the morning. She said soaking makes them easier to digest. It became a sweet daily routine for us.
Yes, absolutely! I ate soaked walnuts every single morning during my pregnancy, thinking of my baby's health. It felt like a small, loving step I could take for their brain development. Highly recommend adding them to your diet.
Walnuts are generally very healthy for brain development, but please check with your doctor if you have any nut allergies or digestion issues. I had some complications so my gynac gave me a very strict diet chart to follow.
I couldn't stomach much because of severe nausea, but walnuts were one of the few things I could quickly eat without throwing up. They are packed with good fats. Just soak them if dry nuts make you feel nauseous.
Oh yes! I used to toss walnuts into my banana shakes and chocolate cravings to feel less guilty, haha. They add a nice crunch and are super healthy for the baby's brain. Definitely add them!
