i wanna know what is the advantage of using saffron milk?i have started using it but iam confused with its effects.
all else going on fine.how r all u gals n little ones?
vidhi thanx for the recipes.anyone frm kerala on this board Dolly replied. I don' t believe that saffron helps in providing fair complexion to the baby, it' s all about genes. If parents are not that fair how can u expect child to look like a European.
Anyways, the main reason for having kesar during last month is because it provides heat to the body and thus helps in getting timly and strong contractions. Few strands in milk will certianly help. Like, when i got pregnant i stopped having papaya at all as it provides heat to the body which can cause harmto the feotus, but since last fifteen days i have four to five peices every two days ot keep my system warm. Check with ur mommas with regards to this thou!
All the best! Vini replied. Hey reshmi,

So good to know more about you... Am having a baby girl da... And my amma' s here... I will talk to her and let you know if there are any specific recipes that we need to follow after delivery... Then, One thing I know is that you should eat a lot of garlic with all the foods... It helps in reducing the tummy... It is better to avoid gassy foods, as it can pass to our baby through the breast milk... So less oily, no cabbage, cauliflower, beans, tur dal etc, whichever is gassy...
I am not sure of no non veg after delivery... Gimme a day, will write to you in detail... I drink milk... Daily 4 glasses... 1 the moment i wake up, 1 before lunch, 1 around 8 pm and 1 before sleeping, around 10:30-11... sometimes it is bournvita... it used to be only that till mine got over... Cudnt buy it as hubby is not home... He will come tomorrow and we will buy it...

I know shopping is not good too early but am down already... tired and heavy da... i did my shopping... bought everything... amma bought a lot of things from india though... we didnt wanna shop till the 8th month as we have lost a baby in the 5th month and then one after 6 weeks... so we were dicy, an didnt do till july 1st...

Will write about the food in detail ok...

Saffron is good for baby' s skin color is what they say back in India... I started taking it from the beginning of the 8th month... You should not take a lot as it is hot...

Hope it helped...
