Myth 1
Eating something white in the morning will ensure you have a fair baby.
Myth 2
Adding saffron (kesar) to milk will result in a fair baby.
Fact:
Both the statements are totally untrue. The colour of a baby’s skin depends upon the content of melanin in the skin and this is purely genetic and does not depend upon the food that the mother eats. The consumption of Saffron does not make the baby fair skinned. Saffron is a spice and can enhance the flavour but not influence the colour of the skin.
It is important that one focuses on the health of the mom so that both the mom and baby are healthy and happy.
