What Experts Say

Pregnancy and breastfeeding raise the need for protein, iron, calcium, folate and other nutrients. Maternal milk powders can help fill gaps, but they do not replace a balanced diet or the prenatal vitamins and iron prescribed by a doctor. Many Pakistani women are low in iron and vitamin D, so a doctor should guide the full plan.

Because the powder contains milk, sucrose and maltodextrin, it adds calories and sugar. Women with gestational diabetes, lactose intolerance or milk or fish allergy should check with a doctor first. Probiotic ingredients are generally mild, but effects vary from person to person. Taking more servings than advised does not give extra benefit.

Hygiene matters when preparing it, so clean water, a clean scoop and a freshly mixed drink are advised. Sealed packs from trusted stores are the safer choice, as pack size and exact formula can differ by market. Any concerns about weight gain or appetite in pregnancy belong with the treating doctor.
