      for fetus of healthy During the growth period, mothers will choose to drink it to supplement nutrition. However, some people do think that the nutritional value of fresh milk is higher. So, is it better to drink powdered milk or fresh milk? I have just become pregnant, and the doctor suggested that I take some nutritional supplements. Some people say that drinking a cup of fresh milk every day can supplement calcium. Some people say that drinking it, and some mothers recommend drinking special milk powder for pregnant women. I also thought about it for a long time and checked some information. It said that drinking fresh milk can supplement calcium. However, fresh milk is generally defatted during processing and contains only a single nutrient content. Even fresh milk with added elements such as calcium and zinc has very low content and cannot meet the needs of fetuses and pregnant women.

      Although there are many types of milk powder, including full-fat, skim, and instant milk powder, they have no advantages at all compared with milk powder for pregnant women.; Special milk powder for pregnant women contains the most and most comprehensive nutrients, such as folic acid, calcium, iron, probiotics and DHA. It has obvious advantages over fresh milk and ordinary milk powder. If this is the case, why do many expectant mothers still insist on drinking fresh milk? In fact, personally I prefer the taste of milk powder.
