Plain doodh nahi pee paa rahi, the smell makes me nauseous these days. Soch rahi thi koi maternal milk powder try karu instead. Which one worked for u all?
I just drink regular milk because mixing those heavy powders makes me want to gag now, haha! But if you can digest it, any doctor-approved brand from the local chemist is fine.
I get why you are being so careful about selecting the right milk powder, you want the best for baby. Ask your gynac during your next visit, they usually suggest one that suits your body.
Go for established maternal nutrition powders like Mother's Horlicks or Protinex Mama. They have folate and DHA which are essential. Don't buy random cheap brands.
During my pregnancy, I used Similac Mom and it was quite gentle on my stomach. Just make sure you mix it in warm milk, not boiling hot, to keep the nutrients active.
I'm also planning soon and was looking at options like Ensure or Horlicks. Let me know which one you finally decide to buy, would love to hear feedback.
Look for low-sugar protein options if you want to avoid unnecessary weight gain, but keep up your daily walks too. Make sure to consult your doctor before starting any supplement.
