Milk alone is definitely not enough and maternal milk has high sugar content, known to be one of the reasons for gestational diabetes. My gynae discourages me frm drinking it unless it's the only thing i cld take. I ended up drinking fresh milk and supplement with multivits, calcium and fish oil. Forced myself to eat at least 1 proper balanced meal. 1st tri is impt cz it's the time when baby is developing. Any deficiency will cause defects and abnormalities.
Ensure would be a decent substitute for solid food, but try to take as much solid food as you can, whatever you feel you can stomach even if it's just fruit, snacks... Hope you're feeling better!
Agree! It is a complete nutrition.. You can take it as meal replacement if you barely eat anything for your main meal.. 2 servings (about 12 scoops) will give you about 500kcal, equivalent to the calorie of a main meal. Other than "Ensure", you can get alternatives such as Boost Optimum / Enercal.. There have similar nutrients but from different companies..
Milk is a good supplement, but it definitely cannot substitute a proper meal.
milk is just a supplement. should Still try to eat something for baby
