My MIL keeps telling me to eat saffron and coconut so baby comes out fair, and honestly im a bit annoyed but also curious if theres any truth to it. Is this just an old belief or do people actually believe it works?
Honestly the baby's colour is decided by genes, not by what you eat. Saffron milk, coconut, none of it changes skin colour, that's just stories. Eat healthy for a strong baby, that's what actually matters.
Beta everyone in family will tell you kesar doodh and nariyal, my MIL told me too. I drank it because I liked it, but I won't lie it doesn't change colour. A healthy glowing baby is the real blessing.
Please don't put pressure on yourself with this. Whatever complexion baby gets is beautiful, trust me you'll see that the moment you hold them. Just focus on eating well and staying calm.
My amma also gave me saffron milk daily, more out of love than science. I drank it happily but I knew colour comes from us parents. Eat balanced food, that's the only real thing.
Haha if kesar worked we'd all have glowing babies and a saffron shortage in India. It's all genetics yaar, ne. Enjoy your food, the baby will be cute regardless.
