Dairy milk? ,

Question

With my pregnancy I can't stand the taste of regular milk, so I decided switch to  almond milk and coconut milk , it has more calcium and less chemicals  than a regular milk.  I just wanted to know if I'm missing any vitamins  by stop drinking regular milk.

Answer

make sure you take your daily pre natals, they make up for any nutrients missed

Answer

Almond milk isn't a natural source of calcium because it's made from almonds, it's supplemented.

Answer

Most of those alternative dairy products have a similar amount of calcium.  You could up your consumption of yogurt or cheese and be fine, though we really don't -need- dairy.  If you're concerned about calcium intake, try a low dose supplement a couple times a day with vitamin d.  We can only digest about 500 mg at a time, so space it out.

Answer

You can get calcium from other dairy products too like true good Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.  I buy the big jars of plain Greek yogurt and then you can just dish some out when you want, add a little sugar if you don't like the un sweet taste and some fruits or granola.  That way you won't get near as much sugar in most individually packaged yogurt

Answer

Get the one that has added calcium
