Life Of A Child With Autism
Children themselves are special. Then why some children only are referred to as "Special Children..
If you really don’t like milk, don’t worry. It’s not milk your baby needs, its calcium. Since milk is one of nature’s finest and most convenient sources of calcium in the American diet, it’s the one most often recommended for filling the greatly increased requirement during pregnancy. But if milk leaves you with more than a sour taste in your mouth and a mustache above your lip (got gas?), you probably think twice before reaching for that glass of the white stuff. Fortunately, you don’t have to suffer so your baby can grow healthy teeth and bones. If you’re lactose intolerant or just don’t have a taste for milk, plenty of substitutes are available that fill the nutritional bill just as well.
Even if milk turns your tummy, you still might be able to tolerate some kinds of dairy products, such as hard cheeses, fully processed yogurts (choose ones with active cultures, which actually help your digestion), and lactose-free milk, in which all of the lactose has been converted to a more easily digested form. Another advantage of using lactose-free milk products: Some are fortified with extra calcium. Check labels and choose one that is. Taking a lactase tablet before ingesting milk or milk products, or adding lactase drops or tablets to your milk, can also minimize or eliminate dairy induced tummy troubles.
Even if you’ve been lactose intolerant for years, you may discover that you’re able to handle some dairy products during the second and third trimesters, when fetal needs for calcium are the greatest, if that’s so, don’t overdo it; try to stick primarily to products that are less likely to provoke a reaction.
If your problem with milk isn’t physiological but just a matter of taste, try some of the dairy or nondairy calcium rich alternatives. There are bound to be plenty that your taste buds can embrace. Or disguise your milk in cereal, soups and smoothies.
If you can’t seem to get enough calcium into your diet, ask your practitioner to recommend a calcium supplement. You’ll also need to be sure that you’re getting enough vitamin D. Manu calcium supplements include vitamin D and you’ll also be getting some in your prenatal supplement.
