Pandanti bidda kosama

You may find elders advise you to drink a glass of saffron milk every day to give your baby fair skin. But, there is no evidence to support this belief. What you eat when you are pregnant has no influence on the colour of your baby's skin. Your baby's complexion depends purely on you and your husband's genes.

Yes, it is safe to add saffron (kesar or zafran) to milk. But, as with any herb or spice, use saffron in moderation, especially when you're pregnant. Studies show that saffron may reduce blood pressure and mood swings. In large doses, saffron can act as a uterine stimulant and could cause contractions. 

Traditionally, saffron is believed to be healing in nature. It's commonly used as a muscle relaxant. It may help relieve stomach aches too. Some pregnant mums use it to improve digestion and increase their appetite.
