Title: Cranberry Juice?
Post by: flynhawaiian on April 24, 2010, 11:21:13 AM

I heard someone say that cranberry juice for pregnant chins is a good thing or better towards the end of the pregnancy?  Is this verifiable?  I would probably take fresh cranberries and make the juice from scratch.

hi... i have heard cranberry juice or apple juice mixed with water, in their water bottle is suppose to help with the production of milk, which i have learned they actually get the day after the kits are born..

but i have also heard contradictions on this theory...

sorry... not a good answer, but i can only say what i hear and well, you know the chin comminuity.. no offence meant to anyone here.. just saying..

Just thinking, I still have 85 days left or so.  I just want to make sure the babies have the best possible experience for life.  She has gained 6 grams in 3 days  :::grins::

Yes I have heard about cranberry juice, but apple is a new one too me.
Though I have never done it.
