My MIL keeps telling me to start having saffron milk but my mom says wait till later months. Now im confused about the right time. Anyone from Kerala side who can tell when u actually started?
My MIL insisted on kesar milk from 6th month onwards haan. I took it but kept it small, like 3-4 strands. Lots of love comes with these traditions so I didnt mind, but I did tell my doc.
Beta in our home we always added kesar to milk after the 5th month, just a pinch. But everything in moderation, too much is not good. Better to confirm with ur gynac once also.
I was a bit careful with everything during my pregnancy because of my history, so I didn't add anything new without asking. When I asked, my gynac said a pinch of kesar is fine, nothing magical though. Better to confirm for your own case.
You mean saffron na (kesar). My family also believes in it but honestly there is no fixed rule, most elders give it in last trimester in warm milk. I just took a few strands and not more, and only after asking my doctor.
There are a lot of beliefs around saffron but no strong proof for the fairness stuff people talk about. A tiny amount in milk is generally fine, but I'd say ask ur doctor about quantity, mine said small amount is ok.
