MIL got me good kesar from kashmir and keeps telling me to start having it in milk. but im not sure which month is right to begin. did u all start in 5th month or earlier? pls share.
In our family they gave saffron milk usually from the second trimester onwards, just a couple of strands. I enjoyed the little ritual, na. But I did mention it to my gynac once and she said small amounts are fine, so I kept it minimal.
Honestly there is more tradition than proof behind saffron, so I kept it to a tiny pinch and only after the first trimester. It wont harm in small amounts. If you have any specific concerns, just confirm with your doctor before starting.
Beta many start kesar in milk after the first trimester, just a few strands, not more. Elders believe it is good but the key is a very small amount, dont overdo it. A pinch in warm milk a few times a week is plenty.
