My family tells me to drink saffron milk for a fair baby, but I'm not sure when is the right time to start. At what point in pregnancy should I begin drinking saffron?
Yes, starting from the second trimester is usually what everyone does. Just use 2 strands in milk, it helps with good sleep too. Take care of yourself dear.
According to my tracking app, the best time to start is after 12 weeks when the initial sensitive phase passes. Don't take too much heaty stuff early on. You can log your daily intake on an app, it really helps to stay on track!
I was at my parents place during my pregnancy and mummy insisted I start kesar milk only after completing 5 months. She used to soak just 2 strands in warm milk every night. It was such a comforting routine with family around.
Actually, my doc suggested starting it after the first trimester was over. I had thyroid issues so I was super careful about whatever I ate and kept getting regular blood tests. Better to ask your gynac once in your next checkup just to be 100% sure.
Listen, don't rush into it in the first trimester ok? Let the pregnancy stabilize first, then start around the 5th month with just a tiny bit. Take it easy and don't take stress about these small things, you are doing great.
Oh I remember being so excited for this! When I felt the baby's first kicks in the fifth month, that is when my mom made kesar milk for me first time. Honestly, it made me feel so connected and emotional every night.
I started having kesar milk in my second trimester, around the 5th month. My delivery was normal and everything went well, but honestly there's no magic rule about it changing baby's color or anything. Just 2-3 strands in warm milk at night is very soothing.
