Everyone in ghar keeps telling me to have kesar in milk now that im pregnant. Some say its for the baby's colour which sounds a bit odd to me haan. Whats the actual reason behind this?
I mainly drink kesar milk at night because it tastes absolutely amazing and helps with my sweet cravings! Just put 2-3 strands in warm milk, it's like a comforting treat before sleeping.
I felt so much peace and relaxation after drinking warm saffron milk before bedtime. It really helped calm my mind and helped me sleep better during those restless nights.
Don't fall for the old myths that saffron changes baby skin color, it's all genetics. It's actually just used traditionally to help with muscle cramps and sleep, which is genuinely helpful during those nine months.
Everyone keeps telling me to drink it so the baby becomes fair, which is totally a myth! I just drink it because it's supposed to help with digestion and mood swings, which I desperately need right now.
I was so scared to use it initially because people said it produces too much body heat, but then I read it's safe in limited quantities. I only used to add exactly 2 strands in my milk after the first trimester, just to be extremely safe.
