My MIL keeps telling me to have milk at night but mujhe night me bohot acidity ho jati hai. So confused, is there a best time to drink it? Anyone follow morning vs night?
Honestly, I am also trying to build healthy habits now and started drinking one glass of warm milk every night. I hope it helps prepare my body. My mother says adding a little cardamom is good for digestion.
Yaar, actually I hated milk in my first trimester because of morning sickness. But later I started having cold milk in the afternoon to beat the heat and acidity, it worked like magic. Just go with what your stomach allows, don't force yourself.
We have to plan so many tests and hospital delivery costs, so I try to stick to basic, nutritious things like simple pouch milk rather than buying expensive pregnancy health drinks. I just drink a glass of boiled milk twice a day, it's cheap and gives good calcium.
I felt so overwhelmed about everything in my first pregnancy, even simple things like milk. I used to drink it in the morning but it made me bloated, so I switched to warm milk at bedtime. It felt so comforting and helped me sleep peacefully.
Same here, I am in my 5th month and still get confused about this! I usually have it in the evening with a little badam powder. When are u planning to start drinking it regularly, or is it already a daily thing?
In our house, my saas and mom both keep telling me to drink milk with kesar at night for a fair baby, which is just an old myth. But I still drink it at night because it actually helps with late-night hunger pangs and acidity.
Beta, milk is very good for the baby's bones, so try to have at least one or two glasses daily. If cold milk gives u gas, just add a little ginger or elaichi while boiling and drink it warm. Avoid taking it right after your main meals.
Actually, you can have it anytime of the day, but warm milk at night really helps with sleep and acidity. Just make sure it is pasteurized and well-boiled, normal room temp or warm is best. If u feel nauseous in the morning, avoid having it on an empty stomach.
My mother-in-law always says to drink warm milk with a pinch of turmeric at night, as it is traditional and helps you sleep. But my doctor said any time of the day is fine as long as u digest it easily. So I just have it whenever I feel like having a light snack.
From my experience, drinking a glass of warm milk at night really helped me with leg cramps during pregnancy, and even now while feeding it keeps my energy up. If you don't like the plain taste, you can add some dry fruit powder.
