Priya Banerjee · Answer

Listen, don't eat it in your first trimester at all. Start after 5 months and don't overdo it thinking baby will become fair, that's just a myth. Just 2 strands is enough.

Suvarna Rana · Answer

Same here, started in my 5th month with just 2 strands in warm milk daily. It really helped me sleep much better at night.

Alka Talwar · Answer

Start after the first trimester, around the 5th month. Only 2-3 strands in warm milk.

Nupur Chatterjee · Answer

Don't eat it in the first trimester. Start from the 5th month or when you feel baby movements. Just 2 strands in milk is more than enough.

Shikha Thakur · Answer

Definitely wait until your second trimester, around week 20. Saffron can cause uterine contractions if taken too early, so keep it to just 2 strands.

Esha Dwivedi · Answer

You can start from the second trimester, dear. Just put 1-2 strands in warm milk at night, it helps with sleep.

I heard from my elders that we should start saffron milk from the 5th month onwards. It sounds so comforting, I hope to try it soon.
