Can I just drink maternal milk in first trimester

I am in my first trimester and having very bad nausea and vomiting. Have no appetite to eat as well as most things come out after that. I’ve been to the hospital and did some blood test which shows that I’m still adequately hydrated. Was thinking if it’s possible to just drink maternal milk all day (in place of eating) to get enough nutrients for the baby?

Ensure would be a decent substitute for solid food, but try to take as much solid food as you can, whatever you feel you can stomach even if it's just fruit, snacks... Hope you're feeling better!

Agree! It is a complete nutrition.. You can take it as meal replacement if you barely eat anything for your main meal.. 2 servings (about 12 scoops) will give you about 500kcal, equivalent to the calorie of a main meal. Other than "Ensure", you can get alternatives such as Boost Optimum / Enercal.. There have similar nutrients but from different companies..
