My MIL got me kesar and keeps adding it in milk saying it makes the baby fair and healthy. Im 5 months now. Is it actually safe to have everyday or thoda too much? Want to be sure before continuing.
Listen, saffron is safe but only in very small amounts, like 1-2 strands in warm milk. Don't start having it from the first month itself, wait until your second trimester. And please, it doesn't make the baby fair, that's just an old myth!
I tried having kesar milk in my first trimester but my morning sickness was so bad that the smell of warm milk made me throw up instantly. If you can tolerate it, a tiny bit of saffron is great for digestion and sleep, but don't force yourself if you feel nauseous.
Yes, it is safe, but treat it like a spice and not a medicine. Stick to just a strand or two in your milk after your first trimester is over. High doses of saffron can actually trigger uterine contractions, so moderation is key here.
It is so normal to worry about every single ingredient we consume, I totally get it. Saffron is safe in very small quantities, but if it makes you anxious, you can absolutely skip it. Your peace of mind is much more important than any traditional remedy.
Of course it's safe, yaar! Just put one or two strands in your warm milk at night, it actually helps u sleep better. Don't stress too much about all the myths around it, just enjoy your comforting kesar milk!
