Question
I am dark in complexion and my husband is medium in complexion, I want to have a baby who is fair in complexion, is there anything that I could take during pregnancy, I once read on the internet that if u have saffron and milk every day during pregnancy your child will be fair. Please help me?
Answer
The color of the skin would depend on hereditary factors and climate (tanning can occur in hot climates). However, there are no modes by which one can ensure a fair child. The color of the skin is due to the pigment melatonin secreted by melanocytes (special cells) in the skin. More the melanocytes, more pigment secreted and more will be the dark skin. One cannot control the amount of melanocytes in the body during pregnancy. Back to All Questions
