My family keeps telling me to drink saffron milk for a healthy baby and good complexion. I want to make sure I prepare it correctly. How should I make saffron milk for pregnancy?
According to my doctor, saffron should only be started after the first trimester, and strictly limited to 2-3 strands a day. Excess saffron can cause uterine contractions, so moderation is key. Just drop the strands in hot milk, let it infuse for 5 minutes, and drink.
Boil a cup of milk, add just 2 strands of kesar, and let it simmer for a few minutes. Don't add too much as it is very warm for the body. For any concerns or if you feel uneasy, always ask your gynac first.
I am in my second trimester and want to start kesar milk, but I am so scared of adding too many strands. My MIL said 2 strands are enough. Did your doctor also approve of this quantity?
Kesar milk was my favorite comfort drink in my late pregnancy. Just warm up the milk, add 1-2 strands of kesar and a little almond powder. It kept me warm and relaxed, which really helped my body cope before my C-section delivery.
Kesar has a warming effect on the body, so I was very cautious and avoided it in my first trimester. From the second trimester, I only added 1 or 2 strands to warm milk. Please consult your doctor before starting to be absolutely safe.
