Honestly, no need to buy super expensive brands, just get basic pure saffron from a reliable local shop. Just put 2 strands in warm milk at night after your first trimester. Simple ghar ka nuskha, no need to overcomplicate things.

I am currently 18 weeks and my MIL keeps telling me to start kesar now for baby's complexion. I am thoda scared of body heat though. Did any of u wait till 3rd trimester to start it?

I started kesar milk only after my 5th month when my doctor said it's okay. Since I had thyroid issues, I was very careful to check everything with her first. Pls keep up with your regular doc checkups before adding anything new to your diet.

True, usually elders say starting after 5th month is best. Just 1 or 2 strands in milk is more than enough.

Same here, my grandmother is also telling me to drink kesar doodh daily now. But does it actually make the baby fair or is it just for good sleep? I'm 22 weeks now and still confused.
