Confused About What Essentials to Stock During the Coronavirus Situation? This List Is All You Need!
The current coronavirus situation has made us think, re-think, and sometimes overthink about what we need to do, especially during the lockdown. One of the major fears making rounds in the world today is the unavailability of essentials. While most countries have announced a complete lockdown, essential commodities and essential services are still functioning to their best capacities. However, the panic-stricken human in us is running haywire to hoard items we probably don’t even need. Several cities have reported that items are flying off the shelf, creating a shortage of several essentials like hand sanitizer, paracetamols, multi-vitamins, and toilet paper. But do we need to panic? Not really. Do we need to be prepared? Absolutely!
Before you step out to buy essentials for you and your family, read through the article till the end. Here, we have enlisted items necessary to help your family get through the lockdown comfortably till life resumes back to normalcy.
List of Perishable Items to Stock Up on During the Lockdown
Here’s a quick list of common perishable items that you are sure to need during this critical time.

Oranges
Lemons
Limes
Pomegranates
Clementines
Peaches
Plums
Melons
Canned Fruits
Vegetables
Choosing vegetables can get a little tricky. Here’s a quick tip for you to make a choice when buying vegetables - Cook and consume the vegetables with the most water content as soon as you get them because the ones with lesser water content can last longer.
Go for these veggies during the lockdown.

The reason why we recommend frozen meat is because fresh raw meat may not be available extensively during the lockdown. Plus, you can store it in your freezer and cook it as and when required, but before the expiry date. Raw meat, when stored at zero degree Celsius can last for 2 to 12 months depending on what meat it is and which part of the meat it is.
Speaking of frozen meat, you may want to consider some more frozen foods during the lockdown.
Frozen Food
Readily available frozen foods are a great purchase to make during the coronavirus lockdown to ensure your diet has all the nutrition you need to stay healthy.
Frozen Fruits – Berries, Peaches, and Cherries.
Frozen Vegetables – Peas, Corn, Spinach, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Green Beans, etc.
If you don’t anticipate a need for frozen foods, you can refrigerate some fresh vegetables and fruits like your greens, tomatoes, gourds, peaches, etc. in the vegetable and fruit compartments of your refrigerator instead of crowding your freezer.
Alternatively, you can also choose to freeze some perishable items like the ones given below to make them last longer.
Foods You Can Freeze At Home
Freezing foods at home may require more time and care, but it can prove to be a great way to preserve food. Here’s what you can preserve at home.
Cooked Rice
Cooked Pasta
Fruits (berries, peeled bananas,
Cooked/ Blanched Vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, peas, spinach puree, etc.)
Stock
Raw/ Cooked Meat (in separate containers to avoid contamination)
More tips on freezing foods at home are provided below. Be sure to read and follow them carefully before freezing any fresh produce. Freezing foods can make foods last longer without losing much of their nutritional value. Appropriate freezing methods can help prevent contamination or diseases due to contamination too.
Now, let’s take a look at some more items you can choose from to stock-up your kitchen/pantry during the lockdown.
Preserves
Preserves are great to lather on a toast or as an important element of most mains.
Jam
Jelly
Marmalade

Now that you have an idea of the essentials you need to stock up on, here are some tips for you to ensure you have enough for the lockdown and take necessary actions to prevent wastage of any kind.
Tips to Ensure You Have Enough to Survive the Lockdown
Scan your pantry and list out the essentials you already have in your house.
Jot down the expiry date of the items, wherever given. This will help you use the items that are nearing their expiry and avoid wastage.
Make different lists of perishable and non-perishable items to avoid missing anything.
Try to purchase whole vegetables or fruits instead of cut ones if buying them fresh.
If you happen to buy more perishables, use the ones that cannot be frozen, and freeze those that can be frozen.
Freeze veggies/fruits when they are fresh.
To freeze vegetables/ fruits at home, you can either cook them completely or blanch them. Be sure you let them cool down at room temperature before you stack them in the freezer. Cooking/ blanching vegetables and fruits before you freeze them helps kill bacteria if any and preserve the colour, flavour and the texture of the food. Doing so also helps maintain the nutritional value of the foods by slowing down the loss of vitamins.
All the foods you want to freeze or store in the freezer should be packed in different zip lock bags or properly sealed containers.
Take special care while freezing meat.
If you happen to thaw frozen meat, ensure you cook it and only then freeze it. Do not re-freeze thawed meat.
Do not pack the freezer with foods. Let there be enough room for the cool air to circulate.
For more information on frozen foods, you may also refer to the guide on fda.gov.
This list might seem extensive; however, you don’t have to purchase each item mentioned in this article. It is for your reference only, and you are the best person to decide what foods you need to buy to suit you and your family’s requirements. When you have the final list ready, ensure you glance through it once again to remove any unnecessary items. Also, be responsible and avoid hoarding because the time is critical for everyone.

How to Get Your Baby to Nap - Daytime Sleep Tips
Becoming a parent, especially for the first time, can be an ordeal. The newborn becomes the crux of your life, and you find that you have questions about each and everything that affects the child. While much of that may be due to confusion and a sense of emotional overwhelming, some aspects do need much thought- like napping.
As a parent, you will surely have heard that naps are good for your child. You will soon see that babies love napping, but how much time should a baby actually sleep? In this article, let us take a deeper look at the sleeping patterns of a child in his first year.
Why Naps are Essential for Babies?
Naps are extremely essential for the child, even at such early ages. They can help improve the mood of your child, and reduce tantrums, crying and other kinds of whining. During naptimes, the brain grows more than it would when the child is awake. Naps help your child grow faster, and understand his environment better. Another common misconception is that skipping naps can improve the quality of sleep your child has at night time- this is not proven, so choosing daytime naps are better for the general health of your child.
Where Should Your Baby Nap?
The best place for your baby to have his daytime naps in his crib; this makes him feel secure and safe, sleeping in a known environment. If you lead an active lifestyle, you need to practice putting your child to sleep in a stroller or carriers so that he gets used to it- if that is not possible, at least carry one or two items that will remind him of his bed, so that he feels secure. If your room is a bright one, you can use blackout curtains so that your baby settles in well.
How Many Naps Does a Baby Need?
The amount of time a baby needs to nap depends upon how old he is, and also on his behavioural pattern. A table that indicates the required amount of time according to his age has been given below.
Age
Daily Naps
Total Daytime Sleep
Duration of Each Nap
Awake Period Between Naps
Things to Remember
0 to 11 Weeks
6 to 8
4 to5 hours
10 or 15 minutes to 4 hours
30 mins to1 hour
Since your child is a newborn, he will not have a definite sleep schedule. So do not worry much about how erratic his naps are.
3 to 4 Months
4 to5
3 to4 hours
30 minutes to2 hours
about 1 to2 hours
At the age of four months, your child may exhibit sleep regression and the naps may reduce.
5 to 6 Months
3 to4
2.5 to3.5 hours
30/45 minutes to2 hours
about 2 hours
At the end of this stage, your child should be settling into a more predictable, stable nap routine.
7 to 8 Months
2 to3
2 to3 hours
1 to2 hours
2 to3 hours
The number of naps reduces from three to two at the end of this stage, owing to another regression.
9 to 12 Months
2
2 to3 hours
1 to2 hours
about 3to4 hours
At the end of the year, your child would have settled into a predictable nap schedule.
Tips to Get Your Baby to Nap
As a new parent, the answer to how to get your baby to nap will not be clear- the process can be quite trying. He might end up throwing tantrums at the slightest provocations, or just refuse to go to sleep altogether. However, there are a few things which can help you help your child get into his baby nap times.
Try to make construct baby nap routines that fit your child. Think of his energy levels around the day, and set up the nap times when he is tired so that he is more willing to go to sleep. It has been proven that two napes, one in the mid-morning and one in the afternoon can really help your child rest.
Children like to have consistent timings, and this applies in the case of naps too. Establish correct timing for his naps, so that he sleeps readily when it is time.
If your child is showing reluctance to nap, try to lull him into it. You can sing a lullaby, draw him a warm bath or even massage his tummy so that he becomes relaxed easily.
Your baby is sure to show signs of fatigue and tiredness, so look out for those. This can help you better understand when your child wants to sleep, and thus construct a routine based on these signs.
Naps are important, but activities are also equally important- there must be a balance struck between the two. If your child has been energetic always, he is sure to tire out when his naptime comes- a nap also gives him the energy to be a part of more activities. The right activities can help your child develop and grow mentally and physically.
Long naps are not great, either- if you see your child asleep for more than three hours in a stretch, wake him up gently and help him burn off energy with a few activities.
If your child is adamantly against napping, do not be frustrated- in some cases, it is normal for children to have only one nap or even no nap during the daytime. Ensure that he is sleeping well at night, though.
If you are ever in doubt about even the smallest thing, the best thing to do would be to consult a doctor.
Is It Okay to Limit the Length of Baby’s Nap?
If your child has slept for the appropriate amount during the daytime, it is okay to wake him up so that he does not sleep too much. This ensures that he does not sleep too much during the daytime, and his night sleep is not affected. If he is in danger of missing a feed, it is not wrong to wake your child up- also, ensure that he is taking part in some engaging activities when he is awake so that he becomes tired after some time.
The answer to how much sleep a baby needs would have been a confusing one, as it depends upon the personality, energy levels and what he does when he is awake. Although general guidelines for the amount of sleep he requires are given above, do not fret if he does not follow it accurately. Also, do consult the doctor if you feel that something is wrong with the sleep pattern of your child.

Buying the right clothes to wear during your pregnancy can be tricky. There are a few things you should keep in mind while shopping for maternity wear. Here are some tips that will help you make the right choice so that you can wear stylish and comfortable maternity clothes.
Your body will go through a lot of changes, both internally and externally over the course of your pregnancy. A lot of women struggle to figure out what clothes to wear during pregnancy. When women think of maternity clothes, often the image they think of is shapeless tent likes dresses and loose clothes that their body will get lost in. This need not be the case.
There are a lot of trendy maternity clothes that you can wear during your pregnancy. The trick is to know what to buy and when to buy it. You do not have to wear large shapeless clothes during your pregnancy to hide the weight you have gained. By making the right choices, you can be comfortable and still look stylish in your pregnancy clothes. Mentioned below are a few tips that will help you figure out how to buy maternity clothes.
Tips for Buying Maternity Clothes
The first thing you need to realize is that you will need different size clothes during different times of your pregnancy. During the first trimester you probably won’t need to buy any new clothes. During this time take a look at your existing wardrobe and see what pregnant women clothes you already have. Put aside anything that is too tight. Keep your loose tops, blouses and A Line skirts at hand. Such clothes will help disguise any extra weight you might have gained and you don’t need to go out and buy a new pregnancy wardrobe right away. As you start coming closer to your second trimester your bump will start to grow. Don’t wait until your existing clothes stop fitting and go out and get your pregnancy dresses and pregnancy pants well in time.
1. The Empire Waist is Your Friend
This is a very important tip when it comes to buying clothes during pregnancy. The empire waist will give your body some shape while at the same time flaring out and allowing you to comfortably cover your bump and the extra weight you may have gained in other parts of your body. You should get some empire waist dresses and tops. These can last you well into your third trimester.
2. Get a Belly Band
A belly band is an elastic band that you can wear over your existing pants and clothes that will no longer zip up over your bump. The good thing about the band is that it has a smoothing effect. Once you have it on, it will keep your pants and tops up and no one will know that your pants aren’t buttoned. Make sure you wear long tops that will cover the band well. Tunics are a great investment during this time. They are fitted on the shoulder, so you can show off your arms and have a nice neckline, but you also have plenty of room below the shoulders.
3. Show off Your Assets
Clothes for pregnant women aren’t supposed to hide the entire body. You should buy maternity clothes that show off your assets. In your second trimester you will notice your breast size increase. Wear clothes that will show off this new found décolletage. If you have toned arms or legs, show these off with cap sleeves and knee length skirts.
4. Always Accessorize
You can use jewellery and layers to add personal style to your clothes during pregnancy. Wear bold necklaces that will draw the eye to your neckline and large earrings to draw attention to your face. You can use scarves, mufflers and jackets to make a style statement and be warm during cold flashes.
There are a number of specialized stores that sell maternity wear in India and almost all major department stores have a maternity section. Get creative with your choices. Men’s button down shirts are very comfortable and can look very smart as well. You have a lot of choices and you can wear fashionable maternity clothes that will allow you to look and feel great during your pregnancy. Read more

Want to Become a Good Manager? These Are the Qualities You Must Possess
In every company, there needs to be that one person who makes sure that everyone is working towards the same goals and putting their work out on time so that the tasks and operations flow smoothly. This person is the manager. A manager’s job is not an easy one as he or she will need to keep the employees and projects moving in harmony with one another. Getting the position of a manager is something that many people work eagerly towards, but not everybody is capable of being a good manager. There are certain qualities that a person needs to possess to be considered as someone who will be leading a team.
Qualities That Good Manager Should Possess
If you have just been promoted to a managerial position or are aiming to become one shortly, it will help to know what the qualities of a good manager are. Here are some qualities of an effective manager:
1. Experience
Without actual work experience in the field, it will be very difficult to know how to lead a team to ensure that everyone works towards a common goal, in the best interests of the company. A good manager should have the experience needed so that he or she will be able to make better decisions for the team. You can try to either gain experience in your actual field of work or volunteer for other events or positions where you will get the needed experience to become a manager in a certain field.
2. Knowledge
Going hand in hand with experience, there is a knowledge base gained by those who have been doing the job. It is very important to have actually studied about the field in question, because you will make a much better manager if you know how things work from top to bottom. Take advantage of your work experience to learn as much as you can or enrol in short-term courses for the same.
3. Time Management
Time management is very important because a manager also sets an example for those who are on the team. If you are always late, your employees may take this to mean that it is okay if they are also late to work. Time management is also a very important quality for a manager to develop because it will mean the difference between good quality work delivered on time and rushed work that does not quite meet the standards. To complete a project, good time management is essential.
4. Delegation
A lot of people have an attitude where they feel like something will only get done the right way if they do it by themselves. This is the type of mentality a manager should not have. As a manager, you should know how to delegate tasks to the rest of the team so that the work can be completed better. You will need to pick the right person for the right job and make sure that everyone works in harmony with each other.
5. Respect for Employees
Managers who do not respect their employees often find it hard to get the job done right. Employees are people too, and deserve respect and understanding. If you are a good manager to them, they will reward you with hard work and dedication as they will feel valued, and not used and overworked.
6. Leadership
Being able to lead a team of people is not something that everyone is capable of. Each person is different and will have their own pros and cons. Knowing how to manage everyone and ensuring that each employee performs to the best of his or her potential is the key to being a manager and a good leader.
7. Communication
Good communication is vital to being a good manager. Communicating the needs of the organisation or the project at hand and making sure that everyone knows the parts that they will need to play is important. With bad communication comes misunderstandings and incomplete or poorly done work. As a manager, you should always check to see whether your employees can understand what you need from them. Solving problems between employees is also another place where your communication skills may come in handy and will be very much needed.
8. Organisation
Being organised will make or break your position. You will need to make sure that everything you have is in order because you are managing a team of people who will depend on you for guidance and leadership. Your team cannot be organised if you are not organised yourself. For those of you who may have trouble with keeping everything organised, you can check online for information on how you can do this. Daily planners and year planners are essential tools for keeping yourself well-organised and ready for action. Being good at organising also means you should be good at planning and delegating.
9. Reliability
A reliable manager will be able to lead the team to success in whatever task is undertaken. If your team cannot rely on you to be there for guidance and support, they too will not be able to put forth their best efforts at the job at hand. You need to make sure you have enough time in a day to be there for your team, even if it is just so that they know that you'll be there if they need you. You need to be there ready to guide them and to solve any issues that may come about. Keeping your promise and doing what you said you would do is another way that you can be reliable and set a good example for your team.
10. Confidence
Being confident is a far cry from being arrogant, but unfortunately, many don't understand this. The confidence you need as a manager should be in yourself and in your abilities. You should not doubt yourself or the decisions that you make as this will only cause your team to be less confident in their work also. You should not throw your weight around and call that confidence. If you need to take a risk, do it believing that you are making the right decision. This will show confidence to those under you.
How Can You Become a Good Manager?
Here are some tips on how to become an effective manager:
Work hard towards your goals and always take the opportunity to learn more and gain experiences.
Make it a habit to lay out good business plans and keep yourself organised so that you will be able to perform your duties smoothly and effectively.
Be honest in your work and always have a sense of accountability as you are responsible for yourself and your team. If they mess up, you will be the one to have to answer for it. So, ensure that you always do a good job.
Be positive and lead your team with encouragement, understanding and confidence. Be approachable so that your team will feel like they can come to you with problems that they are facing. You will be able to make a positive difference, grow a better team and ensure better performance in work projects by your team members.
Being a manager is a tough job that requires hard decisions and a lot of dedication. It is certainly a step up and a position that anyone should be proud to step into, but there are certain characteristics and qualities that a good manager should have. Working hard is a part of it, but knowing your job, your team and your goals, and taking steps to fulfil requirements with confidence is what being a great manager is all about.
