mummy's source of calcium intake as of now is Milo...
Why need calcium?
Your developing baby needs calcium to grow strong bones and teeth, a healthy heart, nerves, and muscles, and to develop normal heart rhythm and blood clotting abilities. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, your baby will leach it from your bones, which may impair your own health later on.
How much needed?
Before, during, and after pregnancy you need 1,000 mg a day, because your body can't absorb much more than that amount.
Per serving (30g) of Milo 3in1 compose of 135mg of calcium.
We need 1,000mg per day, so calculation (1000/135) works out to taking 7.5 packets of Milo per day to attain the required amount!!!
think constipation is the next problem should mummy really take this much of Milo everyday. :p
ok, time to get daddy to search for high calcium milk tonight.
by the way, daddy's nickname when he was little is "milk baby, simply because he loves dairy products... :)
