The group confirms the consumption of vitamin D and milk related to infant weight. Adding a cup of milk will add 41 grams per baby, while adding 1 microgram of vitamin D will help your baby weigh 11 grams more.

Vitamin D is still known to have many health benefits for babies. Studies have shown that mothers who have enough vitamin D often have babies with stronger bones.

Many pregnant women now refuse to drink milk to avoid reduced milk sugar tolerance, stomach discomfort and other complications for children such as diabetes and allergies.

"There is no reason to be strong enough to make pregnant mothers give up drinking milk, except for a small number of women who have obvious problems," said Kristine Koski, co-author at McGill University in Montreal. , to speak.

Koski and the team interviewed 279 healthy mothers aged 19 to 45, of whom 207 mothers drank milk during pregnancy and 72 people did not. Those who drink less than 250 ml are considered not to drink milk. Participants answered questions about daily eating habits, including milk consumption and vitamin D supplementation. Blood samples were collected to measure vitamin D levels in mothers. As a result, babies whose mothers drink milk are slightly heavier than those born to mothers who don't drink milk.
