Everyone in my ghar keeps saying kesar milk se baby will be fair n healthy lol. I want to try once but not sure how much kesar to put or when to drink it. Mommies who make it, batao kaise?
My MIL told me to start kesar milk only after the first trimester. You just need to boil milk, add 2-3 strands of kesar, and let it sit for a few minutes so the color comes out. Don't add too much kesar though, just a tiny bit is more than enough ghar pe.
With both my kids, I started kesar milk from the fifth month. Just boil milk, throw in 2 or 3 strands of kesar, and let it simmer. Don't put too much as it is very warming for the body, keep it simple.
I used to drink it in my second trimester. I would warm up a cup of milk, put exactly 2-3 strands of kesar, and a little bit of badam powder. It was my favorite routine before bedtime, but I made sure not to overdo the kesar.
Don't expect the baby to become fair because of this, haan! But jokes aside, just soak 2 strands of kesar in warm milk for 10 mins and drink it. It tastes great and helps you sleep like a log, which is a blessing right now.
Hi! Kesar milk is so comforting in the evenings. I just boiled a glass of milk with a pinch of elaichi and 2 strands of kesar. It kept me relaxed and active, which really helped during my normal delivery journey.
Practically speaking, kesar is great for mood and sleep, but moderation is key. Just stick to 2-3 strands per day in warm milk. Don't start it too early in the first trimester without asking your doctor, though.
Oh, reading this makes me so nostalgic about my pregnancy days! I used to cherish my warm cup of kesar milk every night. Just soak a couple of strands in warm milk first to get that beautiful yellow color, it's so therapeutic.
