Hello,

I haven't been drinking milk yet but i know i need to, what kind of milk should i take? skim, fresh, powder, non fat,.....there's a lot in the grocery, confused which one is good.

I'm on my 8th week.

thanks, appreciate your help.

Hi there MamaS,
The books recommend taking nonfat / lowfat, high calcium milk. I've been having the PURA brand from Australia. I really don't like drinking milk, so I disguise it in hot chocolate every morning.
Hope this helps!

hi xox,

Can i get that PURA brand from PnS/wellcome? thanks.

I was also asked to take the low fat/ high calcium variants

I know the PURA brand is available in Park 'n' Shop in Discovery Bay. If they don't have it, ask them to order it in for you.

Congratulations on your baby. Pura is standard in Wellcome and PS. If they don't have it in when you go there, it just might need to be restocked, ask the clerk and check in a few days.

Hi Ladies,

How many glasses of milk should we drink in a day? i am only taking around 200 ml. I have gingivitis as early as now, so the dentist told me to increase my calcium intake.

Thanks.

I drink 1/2 L of milk a day for now 10 years and have no problems with calcium, great teeth, hair & nails. Same when I was pregnant so maybe it's a good amount...
Take care

mamaS,

I would recommend you to drink the added "calcium" orange juice from Tropicana (NOT from concentrate). I've had it throughout my pregnancy and I believe it helped me alot and also my dd's bones.
