Does eating saffron during pregnancy make baby fair?
Everyone in the family keeps giving me kesar milk saying baccha gora hoga. I drink it because I like it but does it really decide the baby's colour? Sounds like a myth to me but wanted to ask others.
Haha, no way! If saffron made babies fair, we'd all be having super fair babies, wouldn't we? 😂 It's totally a myth. Your baby's skin color is all genetics. Enjoy saffron for its lovely flavor in kheer or milk, but don't expect any complexion changes!
This is a very common myth, but no, eating saffron during pregnancy does not make the baby fair. A baby's skin color is determined by genetics from both parents, not by anything consumed during pregnancy. While saffron is generally safe in moderation, always consult your doctor for any dietary concerns.
My MIL and mom both used to tell me this, saying 'saffron milk for fair baby!' But actually, no, it's not true. A baby's skin color comes from your family genes. Saffron is nice for warmth and flavor, but don't worry about fairness, just focus on a healthy baby. It's just a sweet thought from elders.
I definitely worried about all these 'advice' things during pregnancy! This saffron one is super common, but thankfully, it's just a myth. Your baby's skin color is all about genetics from you and your partner. Don't add unnecessary stress by thinking about such things. Focus on healthy eating instead.
Oh, I hear this from everyone, my MIL, my aunts! It's such a common thing people say. But my gynac clearly said it's a myth. Skin colour is genetic, not from food. I do add a tiny bit of saffron to my milk sometimes for taste, but not for that reason. Did your family tell you this too?
No, that's completely an old wives' tale, sweetie. A baby's complexion is determined solely by the genes inherited from both parents. What you eat, like saffron, has absolutely no bearing on skin color. You can have saffron for its taste or other benefits, but not for fairness. Just ensure it's pure and in very small amounts.
Seriously? If that were true, I'd have had two fair babies, but genetics had other plans! No, darling, your baby's skin color is decided by DNA, not by fancy spices. Saffron might make your milk taste good, but that's about it. Don't fall for these old stories.
When I was pregnant, I specifically asked the nutritionist at my hospital about this myth. She confirmed that a baby's skin color is entirely genetic and has no connection to consuming saffron. While saffron can be used in small amounts, it's not for complexion. Always clarify such beliefs with your medical team, they give the right info.
That's a popular belief, but scientifically, a baby's skin color is determined by genetics, not by what you eat. Saffron doesn't have any impact on fairness. If you choose to have saffron, remember to consume it in very small, controlled quantities, especially if you're watching your sugar intake like I had to with gestational diabetes. Too much of anything isn't good.
