Everyone in the family keeps saying kesar doodh for fair baby and all but i honestly dont know the right time to start. Im in 2nd trimester now. Is there a particular month people start, ya anytime is fine?
Start from the 5th month onwards, not before that. And don't overdo it thinking baby will get fair, that's a myth. Just 2 strands in milk is enough for good sleep.
Ghar ke bade bolte hain, but simple rule is start after 4th month. Just soak 2 strands in warm milk daily. No need to buy very fancy ones, just ensure it's pure.
Actually, saffron is known to cause uterine contractions if taken in large quantities early on. So it's best to wait until your second trimester begins. Always check with your gynac before adding new herbs.
Don't spend too much on super expensive saffron brands, local good quality works fine. I preferred saving that money for upcoming hospital delivery charges and baby shopping! I started in my second trimester with just 2 strands.
My doctor told me to start kesar milk only after the first trimester, around the 5th month. They said 2-3 strands is more than enough since saffron is warm in nature.
With my IVF journey, I was super cautious and didn't touch kesar till my 5th month. Please be gentle with your body and ask your doctor if it's safe for you. Sending you so much warmth.
