You don't need expensive protein powders or fancy seeds that hospitals sometimes suggest. Regular sattu drink, boiled eggs, and black chana are very budget-friendly and super effective for baby's weight. Save that money for baby shopping and hospital delivery charges instead!
Whatever you eat, eat with a happy and calm mind because baby feels your emotions. Including dry fruits, green veggies, and simple milk in your diet is very good. God will bless you with a healthy baby, just take care of yourself.
From my experience, foods like whole grains, curd, and ragi really help baby put on healthy weight. They also prepare your body well for breastfeeding later on. Just eat frequent, small meals instead of stuffing yourself.
Focus on healthy fats like dry fruits, milk, and fresh paneer. I had to undergo a C-section because of other reasons, but eating healthy during pregnancy really helped my baby gain weight well and made my post-surgery recovery much smoother too.
Beta, eat soaked almonds, walnuts, and drink warm milk daily. You can also have a little bit of homemade ghee with your dal, but don't overdo it. Ghar ka fresh khana is best for the baby's growth.
My doctor told me to increase my protein intake when my baby's weight was slightly low in the 8th month. I ate boiled eggs daily, lots of paneer, and sprouts. It worked like magic and my baby was born a healthy 3.1 kg!
I panicked so much during my 32-week scan when they said baby is small! But my doc said it is normal and just advised me to eat banana milkshakes and double my dal intake. Baby was absolutely perfect at birth, so please don't stress yourself out.
