mother should drink full cream milk, it has everything necessary for the baby.
Hare Krsna,
I have found some general recommendations given by HDG Srila Prabhupada, which I am putting below.
But I will continue to search for more detailed information to give you.
My own opinion is that there is no need for such combi medicine unless the child or your wife are too weak. Even then, ayurvedic natural supplements should be enough with sufficient mother milk.
“I understand you are now expecting a nice child for raising in Krsna consciousness. In this connection you should avoid any spicy foods, so long the child is within the womb. So far natural childbirth is concerned; natural delivery is possible if we keep ourselves naturally. And so far I know, a pregnant woman should not even eat pungent foodstuffs, she should not move in cars, she should not sit idly. She should move and do some physical work. These are the general rules and regulations I have seen in India. They have natural delivery. But so far your country is concerned, especially the situation of women there, which is a different thing. I cannot say definitely what is to be done. And under the circumstances, the best thing is to consult a doctor as they usually do. And after all, Krishna is the ultimate Master, so if you keep the natural habits and depend on Krishna, then everything will be done nicely without any difficulty.” - Letter of March 24, 1969
