My mother-in-law insists I drink saffron milk every day now that I'm pregnant, saying it's good for the baby. Is saffron milk really beneficial during pregnancy? I just want to be sure it's good.
My grandmother practically fed me kesar milk hoping the baby would be fair, which is a total myth! But it tastes amazing and helps with sleep, so enjoy it. Just don't overdo the saffron strands!
I had warm kesar milk at night after my doctor allowed it in the second trimester, and then did my usual light walking. It really helped me sleep better. Just ask your doctor first before adding it to your diet.
Yes, saffron milk is perfectly fine, but only after your first trimester. Don't use more than 2-3 strands of kesar daily because too much heat isn't good. Keep it moderate and you are good to go.
I used to drink it thinking I'd get peaceful sleep, but my baby still woke me up every two hours after birth anyway! Jokes aside, yes, it is good but keep the kesar quantity very low, like just 2 strands.
Honestly, kesar is so expensive and not even mandatory. I preferred spending that money on my regular hospital scans and iron supplements instead. Normal plain milk or almond milk works just as well if you want to save money.
