Just put 2-3 strands of kesar in warm milk, don't use more than that as too much saffron is not good. Also, start it only after your fifth month. It doesn't make the baby fair, that's just a myth, but it helps with digestion and sleep!
Just drop 1 or 2 strands in warm milk at night. Honestly, it didn't make my baby fair, she looks exactly like her father, but it did help me sleep a bit back then—unlike now when I’m up all night, haha!
Just put 2 strands in your evening milk, keep it simple. Don't waste time making elaborate recipes. It's great for mood swings and digestion, which is perfect when you are managing work and pregnancy.
I know how stressful it is to worry about what you are eating and if it's safe. Having 1-2 strands of kesar in warm milk is completely safe and actually very calming for anxiety. Just start it after your first trimester and don't take too much.
I've heard so much about drinking saffron milk during pregnancy! I'm planning to conceive soon and I'm really curious—do you start taking it from the first month itself or later?
With my PCOS, I was very careful not to overdo anything. I only started having 2 strands of saffron in milk after my 5th month, as my doctor said excess can cause uterine contractions. Always stick to a small amount.
