Crave calcium
Crave calcium Yogurt, milk (vitamin D-fortified) and cheese -- even ice cream -- are all excellent sources of calcium, which are, phew, vital for your baby's growth and development (and taste fabulous). When possible, choose low-fat versions, but do get at least three servings a day. Choose dairy that contains probiotics, which are excellent look-and-feel-good motivators too. Your nails, hair and skin will also reap the rewards, growing faster, thicker and shinier. But skip dairy that's unpasteurized, like certain varieties of Brie and goat -- feta too. Your best bet: Read the labels on cheese or ask your doctor.
