Starting from the middle of pregnancy, the growth rate of the fetus accelerates, and the intake of 200g of milk per day should be increased on the basis of the previous diet, which is the best food source of calcium and is also rich in protein.
Calcium and protein are both needed for fetal growth. 500g/d of milk intake per day is needed from the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Plain milk, yogurt, and powdered milk for pregnant women can be used and consumed with regular or additional meals.
For special people with lactose intolerance, it is not recommended to drink milk during pregnancy. For pregnant women with a heavier basal body weight or faster weight gain during pregnancy, it is recommended to choose low-fat milk to reduce energy intake. Note that care should be taken to differentiate between milk beverages and milk. Milk beverages in general do not contain high levels of milk and are not recommended as a substitute for milk.
