Everyone in the family is telling me to take kesar milk so baby will be fair, you know the usual baat. But im not sure how much is safe or if I even should. Anyone actually take it during pregnancy?
Saffron is considered very auspicious and is often added to milk. You can start having 1-2 strands in warm milk during your second trimester while praying for a healthy baby. Just remember to have it in moderation, as too much of anything is not good.
I drank kesar milk during my second and third trimesters, and it really helped with my mood swings and sleep quality. Just make sure you purchase pure saffron and don't use more than a couple of strands. It kept me warm and relaxed before my delivery.
While saffron is generally safe in very small amounts, large quantities can cause uterine contractions. Because of my history of complications, my gynac advised me to wait until the 5th month to start it. Please ask your doctor before adding it to your daily routine.
Humare yahan toh dadi-nani bolte hain ki kesar wala doodh peene se bacha gora hota hai, par sach toh ye hai ki ye taqat deta hai. Bas do-teen dhage hi doodh mein dalkar peena, jyada mat lena kyunki iski taseer garm hoti hai.
Actually, don't listen to those myths that kesar makes the baby fair, yaar! It's just a soothing spice that helps with digestion and sleep. Just put 2 strands in your warm milk before bed, but start only after your first trimester.
I totally understand wanting to do everything traditional and sweet for your little bundle of joy! Kesar milk feels so comforting, especially in the cold evenings. Just a tiny pinch is enough to fill your heart and body with warmth.
