How Much Milk Should a Pregnant Woman Drink Daily?

2 min read
How Much Milk Should a Pregnant Woman Drink Daily?

Ayon sa nutrition experts, 2–3 servings ng milk or milk alternatives per day ang mainam para sa buntis.

Milk is one of the most recommended drinks for expectant moms dahil sagana ito sa calcium, protein, at iba pang nutrients na mahalaga sa pag-develop ng baby. Pero gaano nga ba karaming gatas ang dapat inumin ng buntis araw-araw?

Recommended Milk Intake During Pregnancy

Ayon sa nutrition experts, 2–3 servings ng milk or milk alternatives per day ang mainam para sa buntis.

  • 1 serving = 1 cup (240 ml) ng milk

  • Kaya sa isang araw, nasa 480–720 ml ng milk ang sapat para matugunan ang calcium at protein needs ng katawan.

Why Milk is Important for Pregnant Women

  • Calcium – tumutulong sa pagbuo ng buto at ngipin ng baby.

  • Protein – para sa paglaki at development ng muscle at tissues.

  • Vitamin D – nakakatulong sa absorption ng calcium.

  • Iodine & B Vitamins – para sa brain development at energy metabolism.

Tips for Drinking Milk During Pregnancy

  • Puwede kang pumili ng cow’s milk, goat’s milk, or plant-based milk (soy, oat, almond) basta’t may calcium at vitamin D.

  • Iwasan ang unpasteurized milk dahil may risk ng harmful bacteria.

  • Kung nahihirapan uminom ng plain milk, puwede itong ihalo sa smoothies, oats, o cereal.

Can You Drink Too Much Milk?

Oo, puwede rin. Ang sobra-sobrang milk intake (lagpas 4 cups/day) ay maaaring magdulot ng:

  • Stomach discomfort (bloating o diarrhea)

  • Too much calories leading to excessive weight gain

  • Possible imbalance kung puro milk lang at kulang sa ibang pagkain

Bottom Line

2–3 cups of milk daily ay sapat at ligtas para sa karamihan ng buntis. Piliin ang klase ng milk na bagay sa’yo, at siguraduhin ding balanse ang diet kasama ang prutas, gulay, whole grains, at iba pang sources ng nutrients.

Hazel Paras-Cariño

Hi, I’m Hazel Paras-Cariño—Head of Content at theAsianparent Philippines, proud mom of two, and passionate storyteller at heart. With over 11 years of experience in content strategy, digital marketing, and editorial leadership, I now lead our content across web, app, and social platforms to serve one of the most important audiences out there: Filipino parents. Whether it's creating informative articles, engaging mobile experiences, or meaningful social conversations, I believe content should connect with both data and heart.

Before this role, I worked as App Marketing Manager and Web Content Editor at theAsianparent, and previously contributed to NGOs, tech, and creative industries. I hold a Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communication, but my real education comes from balancing deadlines, diapers, and the daily chaos of motherhood. When I’m off-duty, you’ll find me painting, dancing, or exploring imaginative stories with my kids—sometimes all at once.

Let’s keep creating content that informs, empowers, and uplifts families.
