Women who aren't drinking enough milk during pregnancy are giving birth to smaller babies, putting their developing infants at harm, a Canadian study suggests.
Researchers believe it is the lack of vitamin D in milk that is leading to the slower growth in babies.
A collaborative study between Montreal's McGill University and the
University of Calgary found pregnant women who drank less than 250 millilitres of milk a day, or about a glass, delivered smaller babies than women who consumed more.
