My saas keeps telling me to take kesar in milk for the baby's colour and all. Im not sure when to start or how much is safe. Anyone actually took it, how did u have it?
I personally added maybe 2-3 strands of good quality kesar to a glass of warm milk, usually in my third trimester, as many elders suggested. I don't know what it does scientifically, but it was a warm, comforting drink. Please understand this is just what I did, not medical advice.
I just delivered a few months ago! I was also told to take kesar. What I did was just soak 2-3 strands in a little warm milk for 10 mins and then added it to my full glass of milk at night. Honestly, it was just a comforting drink. Don't worry too much about it, just a tiny bit is okay.
Hey! So for kesar, usually people just put a few strands in warm milk, mostly during the last trimester. Don't stress too much about it, like it's some magic potion! Just a couple of strands are enough if you want to try it, no need to go overboard or anything.
I totally understand wanting to do everything for your baby, and kesar is one of those traditional things we hear about. My elders insisted on it too. I just added 2-3 strands in warm milk. It's more about the tradition and the warmth, I think, than any miracle.
Kesar is largely a traditional practice. If you want to take it, use 1-2 strands in a glass of warm milk, preferably in your later trimesters (after first trimester). Ensure you buy pure saffron; adulterated ones can be harmful. Quantity is crucial; don't consume too much.
When I was admitted to the premium hospital, I asked the nutritionist there about kesar. They advised that a tiny amount, like 1-2 strands, in milk is generally safe after the first trimester, but also stressed that it's more for cultural reasons. Always clarify with your gynac or the hospital's dietitian first, though.
Beta, humare ghar pe toh sab bolte hain kesar bahut accha hota hai. Bas do-teen dhaage garam doodh mein daal ke raat ko pi lo, teesre mahine se shuru karte hain. Zyada mat daalna, thoda hi theek rehta hai. Isse bacche ka rang gora hota hai, aisa kehte hain.
Kesar is often taken with milk, right? Since I had gestational diabetes, my doctor was very specific about sugar intake and even milk quantity. So, while kesar itself is fine in very small amounts, make sure you check with your gynac about *how* to take it, especially if you have any health conditions or are monitoring sugars.
Oh, kesar! It feels like ages ago I was thinking about that. My MIL used to give me a strand or two in warm milk every night, mostly in the third trimester. Honestly, I don't know if it *did* anything magical, but it was a nice, warm ritual. Just make sure it's pure kesar and not too much.
We are often told to take kesar, mostly for complexion or for easy delivery. I used to put just 1-2 strands in my night milk, never more. The key is moderation, don't overdo it. Always use good quality kesar, it makes a difference.
