My mom made panjiri and is insisting i start having it. But i thought panjiri is more for after delivery? Thoda confused about the right time. Anyone here started it during pregnancy itself?
My doctor explained that panjiri has dry fruits, ghee, and warming herbs which can sometimes be too heavy for a pregnant digestive system. It is highly recommended postpartum for lactation, but during pregnancy, you should limit it or avoid it. Always check with your gynac first.
Since panjiri is very rich and contains warming ingredients, I avoided it during my IVF pregnancy to prevent any body heat issues. It's usually best to save it for after your delivery when your body needs the strength. Please consult your doctor before having it now.
In our South Indian traditions, we have different herbal preparations, but my North Indian friend told me about panjiri. My doctor suggested avoiding such heavy, heat-producing foods in the first trimester. It is much better and safer to have it after delivery for recovery.
Panjiri is so warm and comforting, but it's traditionally given after delivery to help the body recover and boost milk supply. I remember my mother making it for me right after I came home from the hospital, and it felt so nourishing. Please wait until postpartum to have it in full amounts.
My MIL is already planning to make panjiri for me, but I am only in my second trimester. Is it safe to eat it now, or is it too heavy for the stomach? I would love to know if anyone else had it during pregnancy.
