Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi all,
I found out last week that I am pregnant. I heard and read that drinking saffron milk (1-2 strands of kesar in cold milk) helps to improve the complexion of the baby. My question is when should I start taking it. Is it hot as they say in first 3 months we should not take food which can be dangerous. Please any advice?? Is it OK to start kesar milk right away... Priya replied. Karishma these are all old wives tales. I think the main important thing that you should want in your child is that it is healthy and grows up to be a good humanitarian rather than paying attention to complexion. My mother in law believes that drinking the milk does give a fair complexion but scientifiacally it is the parents genetics that determines this.
Priya Archie replied. Dear Karishma,
This is something has to be followed with belief, that is use of Saffron can make a difference to complexion of the baby. But many have claimed as to it does, though lacks strong scientific background.

When to start utilization of Saffron is one big issue of expectant mothers and from what I judged based on interaction of mothers-to-be from different parts of India is this South Indian mothers think that it's too hot to take in early stages of pregnancy while North Indian's have no big issues with this.

I did take it from week 8 and have delivered absolutely healthy and beautiful baby.

When you take this with milk, automatically will help subside heat impact of saffron, this is the form I took.

If you take in the night impact on complexion is better, I took it 5 days a week and in the morning.

Nothing is safe in Pregnancy if done off limits. Keep in moderation.
