My saas keeps telling me to eat saffron and coconut so baby comes out fair. Im 5 months now and honestly not sure if any of this is even true. Does food actually change baby's colour or its just a myth?
I totally understand how much family pressure there is around these things, but trust me, when you hold your baby for the first time, you will only see perfection. Your baby's health is the only thing that matters, and they will be beautiful to you no matter what.
Please don't fall for these myths, as a baby's skin color is purely genetic and cannot be changed by what you eat. Always consult your gynac about what diet is actually safe and healthy for the baby's growth.
Actually, medically speaking, melanin and genetics decide the baby's skin color from the moment of conception itself. My doctor told me no food or home remedy can change genes, so focus on basic nutrition instead.
I used to panic thinking I need to drink saffron milk for a fair baby because everyone told me so, but then I realized it's all just old myths. Every baby is absolutely beautiful, so just focus on having a healthy pregnancy.
Haan na, even my relatives told me to eat coconut and milk, but skin color is all about genes. Healthy baby hona chahiye, complexion se kya farq padta hai, right?
