Geetika Taneja · Answer

When I was at mummy's place, she used to give me exactly 2 strands of kesar in my bedtime milk. It's a nice tradition but keep it very limited.

Just 2-3 strands in warm milk is perfect for a good night's sleep. There's a myth that it makes baby fair, but honestly it's just healthy for digestion.

Manjula Shukla · Answer

I drank kesar milk thinking my baby would be super calm, but here I am surviving on 3 hours of sleep! But yes, keep it to just 2-3 strands max.

Jayshree Pillai · Answer

Exactly, 2 to 3 strands are safe. Just avoid having it in the first trimester.

Mansi Gandhi · Answer

Haan na, only 2 to 3 strands are safe, dear. Don't add more than that, and it's best to start only after your first trimester is over.

Jasoda Ganguly · Answer

Looking back, we worry about such tiny things! Just 2-3 strands is totally fine, don't overdo it because moderation is key during pregnancy.

Vrinda Alva · Answer

Ugh, my morning sickness was so bad I couldn't stand the smell of milk, but later I had just 2-3 strands of Kesar in warm milk. Don't take too much because excess heat is not good.
