Pregnant Women and Milk
April 25, 2006
According to a recent Canadian study, women who drink milk while pregnant are more likely to have heavier babies. But the study does not suggest that a heavier baby is necessarily a heavier one.
In the study, reported in the April 25 issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers found that babies born to mothers who drank milk were slightly heavier than those born to those who avoid drinking milk during pregnancy.
Babies born to women who drank milk during pregnancy were slightly but statistically insignificant heavier than those born to mothers who avoid drinking milk.
