Gauri Rao · Answer

My mother gave me warm milk with 2 strands of kesar after my fifth month. Keep it very limited as too much is not safe. It helped me feel relaxed before sleep.

I always checked everything with my doctor because of my thyroid condition. She said 2 strands of kesar in milk is perfectly safe after the first trimester. Regular doc visits helped me stay on track.

Hey, don't stress too much about the quantity. Just put 2 or 3 strands in your warm milk at night. It is more than enough and safe. Sleep well!

Asha Singhania · Answer

I have read that saffron should only be started after the first trimester. Just 2 strands in milk is what elders usually suggest for safety.

I am in my second trimester now and my MIL just bought some pure kesar. How do you guys use it? I am currently just adding 1-2 strands in warm milk at night.

Girija Ganguly · Answer

I just had my delivery and I used to take only 2-3 strands of saffron in my milk during the second and third trimester. Don't use too much because it causes body heat.

Keep it to maximum 2-3 strands a day and start only after the 5th month. Too much saffron can cause uterine contractions, so don't overdo it just because people say it makes baby fair.
