My mother-in-law insists I drink saffron with milk every day for a fair baby. Can I take saffron with milk during pregnancy, or are there any risks involved? I want to make sure it's safe.
Listen, yes you can have it but only 2-3 strands max. Don't start it in the first trimester, wait till you are at least 4-5 months along. And please don't believe the myth that it makes the baby fair, it's just good for sleep and digestion.
In my home, my mother-in-law insisted on giving me kesar milk from the second trimester onwards. I checked with my doctor first, and she agreed it is safe if we use only 2 strands. It helps with good sleep, so you can definitely have it.
With my PCOS history, I was super careful about everything I consumed. I asked my gynac before starting kesar milk, and she said 2 strands in warm milk after the 5th month is perfectly fine and safe. Just check with your doctor once to be completely sure.
I totally understand how we want to do everything perfect for our little miracle. Yes, you can have saffron milk, it's so comforting in the evenings! Just use a tiny pinch of 2 strands and enjoy this beautiful phase.
Yes, you can, but it is better to start it after your first trimester is over. I used to put only 2 strands of saffron in my milk at night. Just make sure you don't overdo the quantity as it can cause body heat.
