Breastfeeding

In our society, we rarely say this word loudly or discuss this topic. Talking in terms of figures, percentage of breastfeeding babies is same as how frequently we discussed about it.

The main reason behind this is most of the women are not properly educated on how to feed baby, some of them are unable to feed due to harmonal issues, milk don’t get produced and most of them choose not to feed.

For women, who are not aware of how to feed baby can contact doctor for guides.

The main reason for low rate of breastfeeding is also because of work nature of working mother.

Not all working women gets maternity leave of 6 months. But frankly speaking, 6 months of maternity leave is not enough, especially when you will be staying out for more than 12-13 hours everyday for work.

I used to feed my baby after coming to home from work. In between these long hours, we used to feed him rice kanji, also called as pej or moong daal water which are really good for child and add high amount of nutritional values to  diet.

The very first breast milk that is the day on which baby is born, is very thick, yellowish in color and very rich in protien and other nutritional values which are necessary for baby to help  them adapt as per outside environment.

It’s really important to focus on babies intake especially in early stage. Most of the nutrient values gets cover by breast milk, hence we should feed them after every 2-3 hours.

Most of the times, babies get restless and cry a lot if they don’t get feed on time so keep all household chores aside and feed your child first.

Make you baby your priority. Because only we can fulfill their needs.

Kid gets adjust with the situation with time but why we should ask them to adjust to our lifestyle?
Not fair for new born baby.
They have a complete right on breast milk and they should get it on regular intervals for at least 18 months.

Parenting-is it affecting couples bond?

Now it is been more than 4-5 days, we haven’t seen each other. Now we don’t get much time to spend with each other. Except for weekend, we don’t share food with each other. We mostly talk on phone but the call frequency has also reduced from 7-8 calls to 1-2, 5minutes each. Rarely we go out on date.
After #Avengers -End game, we haven’t seen any movie.

After reading this, someone will think that is there any problem in their relationship?

No

Now we are at the new phase of life with new beginning,new priorities, new daily schedule, new daily routine, new diet plan, new playlist(mainly nursery rhymes), new toys.

With this new start, everything seems to be different. Whatever I have mentioned earlier it’s really happening. Because of busy schedule, me and my husband are really not getting much time. This is a common problem which most of the couples face after having a kid. While trying to have a work-life balance, couples mostly forget to spend quality time with each other.

‘Before kid, after kid’ memes perfectly depicts our situation .

So, me and my husband came with the solution. Whatever time we are getting, we decided to make most of it.

Instead of going out on a date, we usually cook at home together(mostly my husband cooks, he is really a good chef) and try different dishes.Having food together watching Netflix is our favorite part. Sometimes we stay awake at night and finish our series like old times.
Whenever we get time, we go out on Beach with our kiddo. He just loves going out especially on bike(me too) . This makes our outing perfect.


In fact I feel like our bond is becoming stronger, we are understanding each other more. We have learnt to respect each other and our space and time. Care, love towards each other is also increasing.

Isn’t it easy to spend time our loved one in our own way?
How do you like to spend it with your loved one?

Brain development

As we are already aware that, 90% of brain development happens in early stage of child. Along with it, there will be a development in other sectors like:
1.Physical Development
2.Language
3.Communication
4.Emotions
5.movement


All these abilities develops at different rate. With the development in these abilities, child
Learn to move, speak and think.

So, it is very important to provide proper guidance to kids during this stage.

Healthy diet will help kids for proper physical development but when it comes to mental development, they will need us. As postive development will be responsible for healthier, successful life. This will also help in  balanced emotions, decision making.

Since birth, babies  communicate either by cooing or smiling or crying. They try to communicate their needs through their actions.

In case of toddlers, they communicate directly. These are the best  opportunity for us to communicate with kids by responding to them. We should pay attention to their needs and interest which will help us to communicate more effectively with them.


We need to interact with them by talking, singing or reading something in front of them. We often see that babies always try to lip sync.

We usually play nursery rhymes on #Amazon prime Music. Sometimes,we use #YouTube. Nursery rhymes by #Dave&Eva are my favorite. The animation used in videos is so attractive and informative that easily catches my kid’s attention. He enjoys it a lot.

Time to time interaction with kids helps them to gain more trust in you and they feel safe, stable and confident when we are around.


Proper response, interaction with kids when they need us more, plays important role in brain development. Positive environment helps kids for bright future.

Upbringing

Nowadays we often see people talk about someone else’s #upbringing.

If the person is nice to them, they’ll say they are from good background, person’s parents have passed on good values, but if person is a bad mouth even if it is about telling truth, people will say, very bad human, no manners at all, parents have not taught anything, how to talk to elders and so on.


Why do we judge someone else’s parents based on their kids behavior? even if we don’t know them personally and even not seen them.


What exactly upbringing means to us?
As per #Google definition ” It is the treatment and instruction received by a child from its parents throughout #childhood”.

Very correctly said by Google but throughout its childhood, does child just grow with his/her parents?

I spend major part of a day with my kid but not a whole day. Rest of the time, you will find him with his grandparents, relatives, other kids.
Once he will start going school, he will spend most of his time in school with teachers, school friends, tution friends and so many other people.

Every people in his life will leave some impressions on him maybe good or bad. So apart from parents, all other people will also be teaching him something and which is a really good thing because only parents can not make their kid aware about entire world. It will be a contribution made by each and every people around him.

So in growing age, we need to make sure that our child is surrounded by good people. 90% of the brain development happens in early stage of childhood. During this stage, kids need motivation, support, proper communication which can be provided by his parents, care taker, relatives or teachers.

Way to Success

It is always said that, ‘Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success’.

We work really hard to achieve something, sometimes we earn it too quickly and sometimes even after trying so hard, we fail.


People gets irritated, frustrated and give up on that.They forget to believe in themselves, they forget that it’s there will, which can help them to achieve anything.


Let’s take an example of kids, to stand up on their own feet, they need support, sometimes they take support of table, sometimes bed, sometimes wall, whatever thing where they can reach.
They try to stand once, twice, thrice and so on..
They fall too.

But they don’t give up until they actually stand up by themselves. They put all efforts to do so, and most importantly, they believe in themselves. They know that, if they keep on trying this, one day he/she won’t need any support anymore and will stand by themselves. And that is what we called as ‘SUCCESS’.


So learn to believe in yourself and work hard then success is no longer away from you.

Motherhood or Career

Motherhood or career?

From a long time, we have seen that an ambitious working women are trying to maintain work life balance. Especially when it comes to motherhood, it becomes very difficult for them to choose one over other.


They have worked so hard to reach there and then giving up career, and staying at home, doing another critical job of raising children, is not a solution for them. But being mother, she can not choose career over motherhood, especifically in case where her child needs her more. We should not bring another human being if we can not be there to raise him properly, to give him quality time which is his right.

However, this is a completely temporary situation and best solution is to ask for help. Either one can leave her job temporarily and look after her children or she can just take help from her family or friends.
For me, second option works like magic.

If you have any other options, share in comments.

Happy Children’s Day

Whenever we think about children, small figure with cute smile, little little fingers, non stop talking comes into our mind which is obvious but if we look around, there are people who are old by age, tall by height, mature by talk but still children by heart.

Let’s talk about my parents, in laws or anyone who comes to visit us. When they start playing with Lashon(my kid), I see completely different person. All the maturity, manners, strictness everything just gets vanished and I see naughty young child inside them playing with my child.

Some who doesn’t like to talk much will start to talk in childish sound, they will sing nursery rhymes for him. Some who are not at all interested in sport, will throw/catch ball for him.
Some who are having back problems, will become horse  for him and ride him carefully on their back.

Some with joint pain will run behind him for whole day. Some who are not interested in cooking, tries to make nice dishes for him and put efforts to make sure that he will eat it happily.

This is what we always want in our life. Sometimes we thought that to have respectful life in society, we need to always live life full of disciplines, we must always talk with manners. We always have to show others how mature I am.

Why? Why should we always live for others? Why do we always think so much about others?

It’s our life and we should enjoy it to the fullest. We should always keep child inside us alive. Whatever age we are , we should take out some time for ourselves and do what we like the most.

Let the world see naughty, immature,  careless, cute, some times stubborn, child inside you.

Happy children’s day to all.

Cheers

❤Family Support❤

There are many people in our life who play really important role but we don’t realize it.


After maternity, I was so excited to come to the office, but was not ready to leave my child alone at home. I was too worried for my child.


Even I had thought of quitting my job so that I can be with him.
But on the other side,now it is becoming very difficult to get jobs. So, quitting job was not a solution for me.


My husband and in-laws noticed my stressed behavior and asked me the reason for the same. I told them that I am worried about this little one and also can not quit my job. After hearing this they started laughing and said who asked you to leave You this job? Is this child only yours? Is he only your responsibility? Why are we here?
I found all my answers through these few questions and got relief.


Sometimes, we just have to ask. We keep thinking that this is something I have started so  only I will work on it or out of ego or fear or what he/she will think about me, we don’t ask for help and end up with worst decisions. Nobody is going to judge us if we reach out them for little help.


There are many cases where people including kids are taking wrong decisions because of office/study/exams pressure or just because they can not get marry to their loved ones.

Making haste decisions is not a solution to handle real life problems. If you really have guts, face it. Talk with with your parents, friends, relatives. You will definitely find someone standing with you on this and yes, it is true. I have my family standing with me, supporting me,taking care of my child, so that I can focus on my work without any worries. I had never thought that I would get so supporting parents just like my biological one.


Respect for all parent, in-laws, who looking after their grand kids❤❤.

Tough Task – Parenting🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Parenting is not easy as I thought. Everyday, every hour and sometimes every minute seems to be different.

You will be different parent every morning to a child who also be different, sometimes changing in hours or in minutes. With change, some days will be good, some will be bad.

On some days, you will get enough sleep, some will be sleepless nights. There will be good choices and not so good ones. Sometimes decisions you are making for your child may go wrong, but that is okay, this is your first time. You will learn from your mistakes.

There will be smiling days and then there will be days when your child might cry for hours and hours.

In some house function, you will look the most beautiful, stunning woman but there also be days where you might look tired, sick with messy hair in loose gown roaming in house, running behind your kid, playing with him, feeding him, talking with him, laughing with him, and crying, seeing him crying.

But don’t get scared. Be gentle with yourself because your child needs you more. This is just a temporary phase of your life which will be over soon without you even realizing it.

True happiness

I have seen many people spending money on toys,cars, teddy, dolls and too many things.
They think that, they are giving all happiness in the world to their children, but have any one ever observed when their baby gets more happy?
It is not when he plays with toys, but it is when he plays with us. He loves to spend time with his parents, his relatives.
When my baby sees me after 13/14 hours (when I return to home from office), he just leaves everything behind and crawl towards me. He just laughs loudly, he makes all sorts of happy noises (I feel like he is telling me that Mom I am very happy that you are home) and hugs me tightly. Every single day, he does the same, when he sees me.His smiling rosy lips, blinking eyes and loud happy noises makes my day.
This little kid of mine, who doesn’t even know how to walk, talk, but he knows where to find happiness, how to shower love upon them. His true happiness is when his loved ones are around him.
So, I just wanna tell one thing, spend time as much as you can with our loved ones.
