Vitamin A in Milo - is it safe during pregnancy??

[Ozziehoffy]

Mmmmmm yum milo!! I have to hide and ration it out for my DS #1... I thought I put a lot in a cup...lol. Damn now I feel like milo!

[dust]

i lived off milo as soon as i found out i was pregnant..

I lived on Milo while pregnant too and also found it a help when breastfeeding...it was just like an extra meal supplement.

I had heaps of milo too.

What a stupid reply from Nestle (pfft just another reason to loathe them LOL) Everyone knows not to eat liver etc because of the excess vit A. It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask of the vit A content.

lol...not me *hides under her rock*... seriously not that I'd be tempted to eat liver EVER but I didn't know that. Didn't know about the vitamin A thing either. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with normal babies!

[Liz]

hehe - I thought it was listed on those handouts about foods to avoid?

I think we end up with normal babies by just being balanced with everything We don't go nuts on the latest fad vitamin/supplement (Omega-3 comes to mind!) and don't go nuts on the foods to avoid either

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and feedback. Its reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who loves a strong daily dose of Milo
