Pregnant woman should drink milk because it makes the baby fair? Often the elders of the house talk like this. But does it really happen? In ABP Live Hindi’s special series Myth Vs Fact, we will know in detail whether there is any truth in such a thing. Does drinking milk make the baby fair?
While researching this, we came across many articles which say that drinking milk during pregnancy makes the baby fair. There is no truth in this. The skin colour of the baby depends on the genes of the parents and not on what the mother eats during pregnancy. Therefore, drinking milk has no effect on the colour of the baby.

The colour of the baby depends entirely on the genes
The baby’s skin colour is primarily determined by genes inherited from both parents, not by what the mother eats or doesn’t. There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that drinking milk during pregnancy can affect the baby’s skin colour.
Cow’s milk is generally considered the healthiest option because it has a good nutritional profile. However, if you are lactose intolerant or have other preferences, you can try other types of milk such as soy, almond or rice milk. If you choose non-dairy milk, look for unsweetened, calcium-fortified options.

Fat
Low-fat milk is good for the body. Low-fat or non-fat milk is generally healthier than whole or low-fat milk.
Pasteurization
Avoid drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk or eating raw milk products as they may contain harmful bacteria.
Cheese
Hard cheeses like Cheddar and Wensleydale are fine to eat, but you should avoid white-crust soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert and blue cheese. You can still use these cheeses in cooking if you cook them until they are steaming hot.
