What’s safe to eat when you’re pregnant?
Did you know? Latest scientific research reveals there’s no need to avoid certain foods during pregnancy because you’re worried they might cause your children to have allergies.
If you’re allergic to any foods, you should continue to avoid eating them during pregnancy. However, some women without food allergies believe that eating certain foods (such as nuts) when they’re pregnant can cause allergies in their children. While research on this topic is ongoing, current recommendations do not indicate the need for dietary food restrictions for women without food allergy. So if you are healthy and not suffering from food allergies, you can safely eat the following foods without worrying about increasing your child’s risk of developing allergies:
- milk
- eggs
- fish
- nuts
- wheat
Of course, there are some foods that all pregnant women should avoid eating, such as raw fish, raw meat, or unpasteurized cheese. This is because of the risk of bacteria or food poisoning and has nothing to do with allergies.
Minor sensitivities in children like itchiness, rashes, upset tummy and bloating are all early signs of allergies. The right proteins in your child’s diet can help minimise these bodily discomforts. NANKID OPTIPRO HA 3 uses Gentle Protein*, which are cow’s milk proteins broken through a unique NESTLÉ process so that they are 10X smaller. This makes the proteins easy to digest and less likely to trigger allergic reactions or minor sensitivities in children.
With NANKID OPTIPRO HA 3, you can let your child feel the world, free from discomfort.
NANKID OPTIPRO HA 3 contains Partially Hydrolysed Protein, 50mg of DHA & ARA** and 100 million BIFIDUS BL beneficial bacteria**
