I've seen this question so many times here, and honestly, don't focus on fair skin. Just have a balanced diet with milk, ghee, and green veggies so baby gets all vitamins. A strong, healthy baby is a real blessing.

Same here, my MIL keeps giving me badam milk every night saying baby will be fair. Does this really work? I am just drinking it because badam is healthy anyway but I don't think skin color depends on food.

I have heard so many people in my family talking about kesar and coconut for fair skin. Is it really true or just an old myth? If I plan next year, I want to know what actually helps baby's health first.

Actually, skin tone is purely genetic and depends on parents' DNA, food doesn't change it. Focus on eating nutrient-rich food like fresh fruits, dry fruits, and greens for baby's brain and weight. My husband always says a healthy baby is the happiest baby.

Honestly, I used to worry so much about this too because relatives kept badgering me about kesar milk. But then I kept reading that too much kesar can cause heat in body and got so anxious. Pls don't overthink this, baby's health is what matters most!

Beta, older people always say to drink kesar milk and eat fresh coconut piece, but do everything in limit. Don't take too much kesar as it is very warm for stomach. Main thing is baby should be healthy, skin color doesn't matter.
