Everyone at ghar keeps telling me to eat saffron, coconut etc for a fair baby. I dont really believe it fully but thought of asking here. Does food actually affect this or its just a myth?
Oh, mere saas aur mummy bhi yahi kehte the, 'Kesar doodh piyo, nariyal pani piyo!' But honestly, baby ka color toh gene se aata hai na. You just eat nutritious food for a strong, healthy baby, that's what truly matters.
Beta, baby ka colour genetics pe depend karta hai, khane pe nahi. Log kehte hain kesar doodh, nariyal pani, but honestly, it makes no difference to skin tone. Focus on healthy food for a healthy baby, not a fair one.
Listen, I'm not a doctor, so I can't advise on this medically. But from my personal experience, what you eat affects your baby's health and development, not their skin tone. Just focus on a balanced diet and stay healthy.
I totally felt this pressure too, everyone around me was suggesting things for a 'fair' baby. I drank so much coconut water and ate almonds, but my baby looks just like my husband! Honestly, just focus on eating healthy for baby's overall well-being. That's what I wish I did more.
Honestly, when you're battling morning sickness, the only goal is to eat ANYTHING that stays down! Forget about fairness. Just eat nutritious food that you can tolerate. A healthy baby is a happy baby, regardless of skin tone. Focus on that, rest is just old wive's tales.
Trust me, I used to panic about all these things too, 'What if my baby isn't fair?' But it's totally normal for babies to have different skin tones based on their parents' genes. What's important is a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Don't fall for these myths.
