Everyone in family is telling me to start kesar milk for fair baby and good health. I dont fully believe the fairness part but is saffron itself safe and helpful? thoda confused about how much to take.
In our home, my mother-in-law insisted I have kesar milk in my second trimester for good health. But I made sure to ask my doctor first, who said 1 or 2 strands daily is perfectly safe. It is warm in nature, so always trust your doctor's word on when to start.
I used to take just 2 strands of kesar in my milk after my evening walk, once my doctor gave me permission. Saffron can help with digestion and mood, but please don't overdo it as it has hot potency. Pair it with gentle walking to stay healthy.
Oh please be very careful with saffron, my grandmother said too much of it can cause uterine contractions! I was so scared that I only added a single strand to my milk and that too only after my 5th month scan. Please ask your doctor before starting so you don't worry like I did.
During my pregnancy, I had a little saffron milk during my 5th month and it really helped me sleep better. Just don't take too much because excess heat in the body is not good, especially if you have a sensitive pregnancy. Keep your consumption very light and gentle.
