When I was staying at my mom's place, she used to give me warm kesar milk every night during my second trimester. It really helped me sleep peacefully and felt so comforting.

Beta, kesar doodh glass mein thoda sa kesar daal kar pina accha hota hai, par 5th month se shuru karna. Garmi mein jyada mat lena, aur sirf ek ya do dhaage hi daalna dhyan se.

My nutritionist at Fortis told me that saffron milk is safe from the second trimester onwards, but limit it to just a couple of strands daily. Always make sure to buy high-quality, pure organic saffron to avoid any adulteration.

Kesar doodh is very good during pregnancy, haan na. Bas 2-3 strands hi daalna, jyada garam hota hai sharir ke liye. It helps with digestion too.

Kesar milk is totally fine, but don't fall for the myth that it makes the baby fair, that's purely genetics. Drink it because it is relaxing and has good antioxidants, but keep it to 2 strands max.

I am planning to conceive soon and was reading about this! I heard we should start it only after the first trimester is over, is that true? It sounds so cozy and healthy.

With my PCOS history, I was very careful with milk due to insulin issues, so I used to have just unsweetened almond milk with 2 strands of saffron. Definitely consult your doctor if you have any insulin resistance.

I am a bit shy to ask my MIL about this, but I've heard it is very traditional. Is it okay to have it from the start or should we wait? Wishing everyone a safe journey.
