My saas keeps telling me to start kesar wala doodh for the baby. But im only 9 weeks and not sure if its too early or which month is right to begin. When did u all start having it?
My grandmother advised me to start kesar milk from the fifth month, and my doctor also agreed it's safe after the first trimester. Just make sure to use only a few strands, too much is not recommended.
My gynac specifically told me that saffron can cause mild uterine contractions if taken in large quantities early on. She advised starting it from the 5th month (around 20 weeks) with just 2 strands per cup.
I started drinking it in my second trimester with my doctor's go-ahead. Since she also allowed me to continue light walking, a warm glass of kesar milk at night helped me relax and sleep so much better.
Hey! Don't stress too much about the exact timing, just wait until your second trimester starts. Having it at bedtime is great because it helps with those weird pregnancy sleep issues.
After my previous miscarriage, I was extremely careful and avoided kesar completely in the first trimester as it is considered 'hot'. I only started it after my 5th month, and that too after double-checking with my doctor.
My elder sister told me that kesar milk is usually started after the fourth month of pregnancy. I hope to follow the same routine when I conceive in the future.
Beta, don't start kesar milk in the first three months because it is warm for the body. Start it from the fifth month onwards at night, just put 2-3 strands of kesar in warm milk.
