My MIL keeps telling me to eat saffron milk and coconut daily for a fair baccha lol. I'm in my 4th month now and honestly thoda confused if any of this even works. Anyone tried these things, does khana actually decide baby's colour?
I also used to think about this during my pregnancy days and drank so much saffron milk. Honestly, now that my little one is a naughty toddler, I realize none of that matters at all. What matters is their health and happy smile, believe me u will love them to pieces regardless of skin color.
Beta, in our times we used to drink warm milk with a pinch of kesar or eat fresh coconut in the morning. These traditional things are good for your health and digestion, but baby's color is purely in God's hands. Focus on staying happy and eating fresh ghar ka khaana.
When I was staying at my mum's place, my dadi used to give me almonds soaked in milk and coconut water daily. It was such a sweet pampering time, and it kept me healthy too. At the end, baby's color is just like the parents, skin tone doesn't matter as long as your little angel is healthy.
I can only share my own journey, during my pregnancy I ate a lot of apples, oranges, and coconut water because I had major cravings. My baby turned out fair, but my husband is also fair, so it's probably just family traits. I didn't worry much about skin color, just focused on keeping myself happy and full.
Actually skin color depends purely on genetics and parent's DNA. I asked my gynac during my second trimester, and she clearly said eating saffron or coconut won't change genetics, but they are great for nutrition anyway. Just focus on eating a balanced diet, your baby is going to be perfect and beautiful no matter what!
