Everyone keeps telling me to start kesar milk for the baby's colour and health. I'm only in my 3rd month right now so not sure if it's too early. From which month did u all start, and how much?
For me, I started saffron milk in my 8th month, just one or two strands. It was more for feeling good and for recovery after my C-section, as it's believed to be warming. But definitely ask your doctor first, it might not suit everyone.
Many people traditionally start consuming saffron in their third trimester, usually from the 7th month onwards. Just a few strands in warm milk, not too much. But my suggestion is always to check with your gynac first. Better safe than sorry for you and the baby.
This is such a tricky one na, because everyone has different opinions! I was so anxious about what to do. I think it's safest to ask your doctor, because there are so many myths around it. Don't stress too much over it, okay?
With my PCOS history, I was extra careful with everything during pregnancy. I actually avoided saffron because I didn't want to risk anything that wasn't strictly necessary or doctor-prescribed. If you do consider it, a very small amount in the last trimester is what people say, but your doctor's word is final.
Beti, ghar mein bade log toh bolte hain ki 7th month se shuru kar do, garam doodh mein ek do taar dal ke. Kehte hain isse baby fair hota hai aur delivery bhi easy. Lekin haan, apne doctor se pooch lena ek baar. Sab ki body alag hoti hai na.
Listen, if your doctor has not recommended it, then don't just start it. Traditionally, people start in the third trimester, around 7th or 8th month, one or two strands in milk. But honestly, it's not a must-have. Ask your gynac for exact advice.
Saffron is very potent, and pregnancy is a delicate time. Please, do not take any advice from the internet regarding this. Your gynac is the only person who can tell you if and when you should start consuming saffron. It's for your safety.
Oh, I was wondering about this too! My MIL keeps telling me to start it, but my gynac hasn't mentioned anything yet. Did your doctor suggest it, ya aapko bhi ghar pe bol rahe hain?
My doctor actually said there's no real medical evidence that saffron makes babies fair or ensures an easy delivery. However, if I wanted to have it for its general benefits, I could start 1-2 strands in warm milk from the 8th month, no more. She said to definitely avoid it in the first trimester.
At my hospital, they have nutritionists you can consult. The doctor there clearly told me that if I wanted to, I could take a very small amount, like 2-3 strands, in warm milk from the third trimester, but it's not essential. Always best to ask your specific doctor or the hospital staff where you're getting care.
Oh god, I had such bad morning sickness, the thought of anything in milk made me gag till my 7th month! So practically, even if you wanted to, you might not be able to stomach it early on. By the 8th month, when I felt a bit better, some women try it. But really, just check with your doctor.
Because of my thyroid, I had to be super careful with everything I ate or drank. My doctor advised me about saffron, saying if I wanted to, I could start it in the 8th month, but not too much. If you have any health conditions, definitely have a proper chat with your doctor before starting.
