Everyone keeps telling me to start kesar milk for the baby. I have the saffron at home but no idea how much to put or when to drink it. How do u all make it?
Please be very careful with saffron, as having too much can cause body heat which is risky. I had a miscarriage before, so I was terrified of adding it too early. I only started using just 2 strands after my fifth month, and that too after consulting my doctor.
Listen, don't overdo it with saffron. Just put 2 strands in a warm cup of milk before sleeping, and that's more than enough. It helps with sleep, but remember, moderation is key during these precious months.
In our house, my MIL and mother both insisted on having kesar milk in the second trimester. They told me to just rub 2 strands of saffron in a spoonful of warm milk first, and then mix it into the whole cup. It gives a lovely color and aroma without being too heavy.
Before u start adding saffron to your milk, please check with your gynac once. It is known to increase body heat, so your doctor can guide u on the right month to start and the safe quantity. Safety of the baby comes first, always.
I totally understand how exciting it is to prepare saffron milk for your little miracle! Just take 2-3 small strands, soak them in warm milk for ten minutes, and drink it with all your love. It’s such a beautiful, warm ritual.
Actually, it's super simple—just drop 2 or 3 strands into a glass of warm milk, let it sit for 5 minutes, and drink. Don't go overboard thinking it'll make the baby fair, that's just a myth. Just enjoy it for the taste and sleep benefits!
