Your Baby This Week : 10 Month Week 1 Old
Your baby may still only babble, but don’t underestimate how much he understands. Babies pick up on the meaning of the words and your voice before they learn to speak. Your child may even respond to simple requests or in the words of the discipline, as a warning, “No!” Talk to him about what you are doing, wherever you are on the road, and the names of the food that he eats, and say his name. Some children warm up immediately to every new face. If they are experiencing stranger anxiety, they may feel comfortable only with a select group of family and friends. How do you introduce a sitter then? If possible, have the sitter visit ahead of time so that your child can get to know her well in advance. Ask her to approach your baby slowly and gently. With time, your child will get used to her and they’ll become the best of friends!

Eating Eel During Pregnancy - Is It Safe
While pregnant, you will likely be inundated with well-wishers' advice, particularly regarding your eating and exercise habits, so be prepared to be overwhelmed. Most of the time, when confronted with opposing points of view, you will find yourself unable to make sense of what is being said. Is eel okay to eat while pregnant? Take a look at this article if you have the opportunity!
What is Eel?
As eels are long and serpentine, eel fishing can be difficult. In Indonesia, the fish is regarded as a delicacy, and it is exported to other countries as a byproduct. The eel has become extremely popular in Japan as a result of the numerous health benefits it provides. When consumed during pregnancy, it is a good source of nutrients, and it may have a positive impact on the health and growth of both you and your unborn child.
Can You Eat Eel While Pregnant?
Pregnant women should not consume eels due to the dangers of their blood. Raw eels should never be consumed since even a little eel of blood may be fatal to a person. Cooked eel is entirely safe to eat since the proteins are broken down and rendered harmless throughout the cooking process.
Health Benefits of Eating Eel in Pregnancy
Pregnant women who consume eel may benefit from a variety of factors:
1. Increases Strength and Endurance
Steamed eels have high-calorie content, containing 1,350 calories per pound and 303 calories per 100 grams of meat. You may be able to meet your pregnancy's increased energy requirements by including fish in your diet.
2. Protein Treasure Trove
The smoked eel cannot be overlooked as a protein source. Eel contains 18.4 grams of protein per 100 grams of meat, making it one of the most protein-dense foods available. As you are undoubtedly aware, proteins serve as the building blocks of our bodies cells. Consuming protein consistently throughout pregnancy benefits the baby's growth and development.
3. Strengthens Muscle Strength
The amino acid arginine, which is found in frozen eels, stimulates the generation of human growth hormone (HGH) during rest (HGH). Consuming fish throughout pregnancy may aid in muscle tone maintenance and fat build-up prevention. You should have fish in every meal over the next nine months to maintain a healthy weight. Breast cancer risk reduction may be related to arginine's ability to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. As a result, it should be a part of your diet.
4. Vitamin-dense
Eel is a good source of vitamin A and B12. Pregnant women should incorporate it into their diets to boost antioxidant levels, which help combat macular degeneration, reduce oxidative stress, and neutralize free radicals. Preventing neural tube problems like spina bifida or anencephaly may also help reduce the likelihood of preterm birth or low birth weight.
5. Strengthens and Preserves Bone Vitality
Additionally, eels are a source of phosphorus. As a result, a healthy unborn child will benefit from the solid and solid bones obtained by eel consumption throughout pregnancy.
Steps to Avoid Getting Infected by Eating Eel When Pregnant
If a pregnant woman consumes an excessive amount of eel, her mercury levels may increase, and pregnant women should be aware of this risk. To avoid illness, women who ingest cooked eel while pregnant should take the following precautions:
Cook at the Right Temperature: Before consuming the eel, be sure that it has been cooked to a temperature of at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You may eat cooked eel without being concerned since cooking breaks down the proteins, making them safe to consume.
Avoid Excessive Eel Consumption: This product may include parasites and other pathogens. Therefore, consume just enough food to maintain your body's comfort level. Additionally, you may consume fish taken throughout the day since the eel may not have been cooked. Therefore, the optimal choice would be grilled eel.
Always Read the Labels Before Purchasing: Eel roe is the most frequent eel product in Japan. It is well-known to cause various health concerns and should thus be avoided. If you are unsure about an item, avoid purchasing it. Perfumes, essential oils, vitamins, and other nutritional supplements all fall under the same category.
Always Read the Labels Before Purchasing: This sort of fish is already consumed in an excessive number of Asian nations. It would help if you made an effort to minimize your exposure to these items to avoid feeling guilty. Consume as much as possible while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you're serious about your health, eat just once a week.
Eels May Have Various Adverse Consequences: Several symptoms include headaches, diarrhea, constipation, melancholy, weariness, irritability, heartburn, acne, skin illnesses, urinary abnormalities, and thyroid difficulties. So, educate yourself before anything goes wrong! If you have any of these symptoms, you should immediately stop consuming them. The only method to determine if the eel you finished was safe is to see a physician.
When pregnant or breastfeeding, eating fish such as eel is a great way to get plenty of protein and omega-3 fatty acids into your system. So, what exactly is the point of continuing to put off the inevitable until the last possible moment? Share your story so that other expectant mothers can learn from your mistakes.
FAQ's
1. Is Eel Sauce Safe During Pregnancy?
There's a lot of confusion about eel sauce (sometimes called unagi sauce). Eel sauce is a condiment, not a sauce prepared from eels. Eel sauce is often used as a glaze or spread over grilled or broiled eel. Mirin (Japanese wine) and sake (Japanese whisky) are other common ingredients. Pregnant women may safely consume eel sauce since it includes just a minimal amount of alcohol. As a result, you may need to use a smaller amount of eel sauce when you prepare your own.
2. Can Pregnant Women Eat Eel Sushi?
Eating eel sushi while pregnant is permissible, but only in small amounts at a given time. While pregnant, excessive alcohol consumption can be harmful to both you and your unborn child, so proceed with caution in this situation. Additionally, it is recommended that pregnant women cook their eels until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit before consuming them. Cooking your fish reduces your chances of contracting food poisoning and experiencing gastrointestinal upset after eating it. According to the Food and Drug Administration, pregnant women should consult their doctor before consuming Eel sushi.

8 Things Parents Shouldn't Share on Social Media, As Per Child Experts
We live in the social media generation. Family albums with thick covers have given way to deft albums online, and time spent visiting relatives’ homes is now spent chatting them up on Facebook. Even if you were not a huge social media fan earlier in life, that may change after you become a parent. There is such an immense joy in your life now and so many happy moments every day, that the urge to share is greater than ever. While sharing content related to our children online is a great way of spreading happiness, there is something you must warn against. Child experts have come forth with some very disturbing reasons to NEVER share this online!
Parents have emerged as one of the most active groups of people online. The digital world lets us stay connected to our friends and family even though motherhood restricts how much time we can spend with them face-to-face. This is why we use the internet and platforms like Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram to share updates on our bundles of joy. This trend of overuse of social media by parents to share content based on their children is being popularly called “Sharenting”. It may seem harmless at the outset but new insights revealed by child psychiatrists and digital experts will present a very different, immensely scary picture.
The Child-Related Updates You Should Never Share on Social Media
When you share certain sensitive and high-risk information about your children online, you expose them to a number of risks. This information may seem safe and innocent to you but the damage it can do is severe.
Photos or posts that reveal your child’s present location or places he visits everyday – e.g. back-to-school pictures that give away his school’s name and location and the route he uses to travel to and fro from home
Posts that intend to shame, punish or document his bad behaviour in any way – e.g. detailed record of a tantrum he threw at the movie theatre
Embarrassing, nude or semi-clothed pictures taken just to document the occasion – e.g. potty training pictures or bath-time pictures
Posts that give away personal or confidential information about your child’s health – e.g. details of his medical condition or daily behaviour
Photos from a time your child was sick, injured or crying, even if only intended to share the sorrow
Updates that detail the vacation, picnic, summer camp or school outing your child is going on, with details that can make tracking possible
Photos that contain pictures of other people’s children without taking their permission first – e.g. birthday party pictures of your child that also feature kids from the neighbourhood
Photos or videos that occupy your time while clicking them, which means you don’t take actual part in the occasion – e.g. videos of your little girl’s dance performance where you couldn’t cheer because you were recording and also disturbed the other audience members
The Terrifying Risks of Sharenting
1. Cause Shame or Trauma to your Children
That picture of your child exhibiting his worst tantrum or wetting the bed night after night may seem cute right now. But when your child grows up, there is no telling how he will react to the entire world knowing about how he was a bedwetter! Experts have discovered that the shame or trauma that such updates can cause to children is far deeper than thought earlier.
2. Fuel Chances of an Online Paedophile Attack
The internet is a breeding ground for criminals and paedophiles. They exist oblivious to us for the most part, but they sure do! If your child-related content is not protected and falls in the hands of these preying pedophiles, it can create a horrifying situation.
"Paedophiles are always prying on the social media. It makes them vulnerable to various forms of attacks, too." - Psychiatrist Dr Harish Shetty
3. Breaches Your Child’s Privacy Permanently
You may be the parent but that doesn't give you the right to display everything about your child for everyone to see. This may well be the retort you should prepare for if you breach your child's privacy online.
4. Increase Risk of Identity Theft
How would you feel if your teenager went out to get a driver's licence and discovered that someone else had already been issued one in his name? Wacky and impossible as this seems, identity theft over the internet is a very real thing and has happened to several children around the globe. ||
5. Exposes Your Child to Cyber Bullying
Ugly babies. Fat little girls. Dark-skinned boys. These may seem horrible stereotypes but they exist on the internet! No parent would want their child to be exposed to such bullying digitally, but sharing unreasonable updates does exactly that.
6. Spoil The Parent-Child Relationship
Finally, experts have also noted that sharing content without your child's consent is interpreted as a sign of domination and disregard. In the long run, it can mess with the bond you share with your child as he sees you as a controlling parent!
"When parents violate these basic fundamental rules, the trust factor is eroded. Many teens come to me, harbouring grudges and resentment against parents. They feel that their parents are dominating and also don't respect their identity as individuals - Psychologist Seema Hingorrany
Critical Things to Remember Before Posting Anything About Your Child
That said, all this doesn’t have to mean you stop sharing and documenting your experiences of parenting completely! The internet is a terrific place to get help, support and reassurance as well as record memories for a lifetime. You only have to keep in mind some strict guidelines before you hit “post” on anything that relates to your child:
Double check your social media privacy settings. Are you sure you want everyone on Facebook to have access to personal posts that reveal your child’s age, location or habits? Stop giving access to third parties and keep the personal, personal
Disable the location settings on your social media accounts. There is no need for everyone to know your present location if you don’t want them and use this as an opportunity to stalk your child
Consider changing the settings of your social media albums to private. Why does everyone on Facebook need to have access to pictures you want to keep to yourself?
If you want to share bulk pictures and albums with your family and friends, say photos from her first birthday party, use a private network for this
Your kids learn from you. If you are a responsible social media user, that’s what they will grow up to be. The internet is a like a double-edged sword. It can delight and unite, but it can also bring danger and pain. It all depends on the caution you exert as a user, and more importantly, as a parent. Be careful! Read more
