My dadi keeps telling me to take saffron during pregnancy for a fair baby, but I'm not sure when is the right time to start consuming it. When is it generally recommended to take saffron during pregnancy?
Saffron is traditionally believed to have many benefits, but scientifically there is no medical need for it. If you wish to consume it, start in the second trimester with just 2-3 strands. It is always best to ask your gynac first.
Kesar milk with some crushed almonds is the best craving-buster for late nights! I started having it after my 20-week scan when my doctor said it was safe. It is so delicious and helps you sleep like a baby.
Saffron is quite expensive, so don't feel pressured to buy it if it doesn't fit your budget. If you want to use it, start after the 5th month in very small quantities. Save your money for the hospital scans instead!
Beta, saffron should only be started in the second trimester, around the 5th month. It is warm in nature, so avoid it in the first three months. Just take 1-2 strands in warm milk at night, not more than that.
I started taking kesar milk in my 5th month and it felt like such a comforting ritual. It really helped me relax at night when I felt so heavy and emotional. Just take it in moderation, dear.
You can start taking a strand or two of saffron in warm milk from the second trimester onwards. It is very calming and helps with sleep. Just remember to pray and keep your mind peaceful during this time.
