My saas keeps telling me to take kesar in milk so baby is fair and healthy. Im 5 months and willing to try but honestly not sure how much or when. Anyone here actually using saffron, how do u take it?
In our family, elders say to start saffron milk after the first trimester is over. I checked with my doctor first, and she said 1 or 2 strands in warm milk at night is perfectly fine. Just make sure you don't use too much.
Saffron is very good for health, but it has a hot nature, so we must be careful. Always start it after the fourth month begins. Just put two threads in warm milk at bedtime, it helps with body pains too.
Let's be real, saffron doesn't change baby's complexion, that is pure genetics. But it is good for digestion and sleep if taken in moderation. Just add 2 strands to your milk after your fifth month, and buy a trusted organic brand.
My doctor explained that high amounts of saffron can cause uterine contractions, so moderation is key. Safe limit is under 20-30 mg per day, which is basically just 2 strands. I started it after week 16 and always bought high-quality, pure Kashmiri kesar.
Actually, yaar, don't start it too early. Gynac told me to wait till 5th month and then only use 2 strands in milk. Too much heat is not good for the body, so don't overdo it thinking baby will become fair, that's just a myth!
I just had my baby last month and used to drink kesar milk during my second and third trimester. I used to soak just 2 strands of saffron in warm milk for 10 minutes before drinking. It really helped with my sleep and mood.
I am planning to conceive soon and my MIL was telling me about kesar milk. She said even a tiny pinch in warm milk is very soothing. I will surely ask the doctor once I get my positive result.
