Im in my 4th month and my saas keeps telling me to eat saffron and coconut for a fair baby. i know its probably just an old belief but everyone in the family keeps asking. does food really affect baby's colour or is it all genes?
I know family members put so much pressure on this, I had so much anxiety about it too. But honestly, baby's skin color is completely genetic. Please don't worry about this and just eat what makes you happy.
Arre, these are all old dadi nani myths! Saffron or coconut milk won't make the baby fair, but they are good for your health, so have them for nutrition, not skin color.
People told me to drink saffron milk daily, but because of PCOS, I had to watch my sugar and heat levels. Honestly, baby's health is what matters, color is just genetics and can't be changed by food.
