Everyone in the family keeps telling me to start kesar milk now that im pregnant. I dont know how much saffron to add or when to drink it. how do u all take it? want to do it properly.
Beta a few strands of saffron soaked in warm milk at night is what we traditionally do. Just a tiny pinch, not more, too much isnt good. And do check with your doctor first since everyone is different.
Honestly saffron is expensive so a tiny pinch in milk goes a long way, no need to be heavy handed. I kept it simple, few strands at night. Ask your doc once, then enjoy it as a nice treat.
My family gave me kesar milk in the later months, just 2-3 strands in warm milk. Its lovely and comforting. But I asked my gynac first and she said small amount is fine for me, so please confirm for yourself too.
Its usually had as a few strands in warm milk, in moderation. There are lots of myths around saffron and babies complexion, ignore those. The key is small quantity and a quick okay from your doctor.
Just a small pinch, like 3-4 strands, soaked in warm milk is enough. People go overboard thinking more is better, its not. I had it occasionally in second and third trimester, nothing fancy needed.
