A mother-to-be gets a lot of advice during pregnancy. In such a situation, it is difficult to understand what is true and what is not. Famous fashion designer Masaba Gupta is facing a similar situation these days. In a recent interview to Faye D’Souza, she said that she is getting strange advice from people. People are telling her to eat rasgulla and drink milk every day, so that a dark-skinned child is not born. However, Masaba does not believe in these things.
According to Masaba, such advice not only harms the mother-to-be, but also reflects old thinking. If you too are getting such advice during pregnancy, then it is important to know whether it is actually true. Gynecologist Dr. Seema Gupta is answering here.

Does eating Rasgulla make the baby fair?
Eating rasgulla during pregnancy is beneficial, but it is wrong to say that rasgulla should be eaten only to give a fair complexion to the child. According to gynecologist Dr. Seema Gupta, people also advise the mother to consume things like saffron, coconut and milk during pregnancy so that the child does not have a dark complexion. But there is no evidence of this in medical science.
The color of the baby in the womb depends on the genes
How does a child become fair or dark? If you have this question in your mind, then know that whether the child growing in the womb will be fair or dark depends on the genes of his parents. If either the mother or the father is fair, then the child can be fair. If both or even one of them is dark, then no matter how many rasgullas or milk is consumed, the child can be dark.
