Diet Plan for 7 Month 3 Week Old Baby
Introduction
We hope your baby enjoyed the meals you prepared in the 2nd week. Now is the time to take things a step further and introduce new recipes and different textures in your baby’s diet plan. This week, your baby will get to taste new combinations of ingredients like puffed rice, cereals, etc. Since he will be teething by now, you will also see him trying to chew on anything he can grab. Thus, this is a great time to prepare slightly thicker versions of different nutritious recipes and also include soft, puffed ingredients or finger foods that can be mashed or powdered easily to avoid choking hazards. The diet plan for week 3 is an immunity booster for your little one, and like all the previous weeks, you will have alternating breastfeeding sessions with the meals.

6 Aphrodisiacs You’ll Find in your Kitchen (and How to Put Them to Work)
When they say the way to a man’s heart is through the stomach, they mean more than gastronomic delights. Did you know that your kitchen is a great place to find aphrodisiac foods for men and women? Gear up for some tasty action under the sheets!
After a hectic, chaotic day handling a baby and managing the home, there is nothing that can seem to get you in the mood, right? Wrong! There are powerful aphrodisiac foods, tucked right in your kitchen cabinet that will set your libido on a propitious track. These common kitchen ingredients can quickly reveal their miraculous properties and make your love life thrive.
6 Common Sex Boosters that are Just a Kitchen Away
1. Honey
This natural aphrodisiac is rich in boron, which stimulates both estrogen and progesterone. Take out that jar of honey you’ve been saving for pancakes. Add a dollop in your green tea and your husband's morning cereals to sweeten your bond in the bedroom!
2. Blueberries
The high oxidant content in blueberries makes it one of the best aphrodisiac foods for stimulating sex drive and keeping problems like erectile dysfunction at bay. These potent berries improve blood circulation and regular intake spikes your partner's stamina. Awesome reasons to make a blueberry cheesecake, press it into a juice, or eat it up straight from the can.
3. Chocolate
In the list of romantic foods, there's no missing out on chocolate. It has been shown to be a stress-buster as well as a mood enhancer (we aren't even getting to how good it tastes). Let your partner chomp on a bar of dark chocolate to soothe those frayed nerves. Making love will kill the stress while the heavenly taste of the chocolate will linger long after you both lie heaving in pleasure!
4. Banana
No, this fruit isn't here just because of its phallic shape. Counted as one of the common aphrodisiacs (favourite of the friskiest animals ever – monkeys), bananas contain chemicals that boost testosterone levels. Moms, if you are too frazzled after handling the baby-full day, grab a banana or sip some banana shake. It’s an instant energy lift that will also get you ready to welcome hubby when he comes home!
5. Nutmeg
There is nothing like a generous helping of nutmeg in your food to spice up your sex life. Known as a powerful aphrodisiac, nutmeg significantly hikes libido by increasing blood flow. While the list of its effects on humans is inconclusive till date, it definitely gets mice to be perky. Plus, that distinct nutmeg flavour is interesting in itself!
6. Coffee
A cup of freshly brewed coffee isn't just your regular morning wake-up alarm, but doubles up as a love portion that keeps your libido hale and hearty. Coffee spikes the level of dopamine (controls the pleasure centers! ) in the body. This means that this drink lifts the mood, increases blood circulation, and gets your adrenaline pumping- all of which is good for a day between the sheets.
These aphrodisiac foods and drinks for men and women will help keep your love life energetic, and free you and your husband from the pressures of a regular day. Go on a sexy diet right away to spice up your relationship and to keep you happily ensconced in love for a long, long time. Read more

Let your Lip Colour Speak!
The wrong choice of lipsticks can leave you looking washed out, ashy or pale - not something you were gunning for, right? Discover the secret to looking absolutely amazing by learning how to choose the perfect lipstick colour for your skin tone. Your make-up routine will never feel the same again!
Your make-up collection is incomplete without at least a few shades of gorgeous lipstick. They instantly colour your look whether you're wearing a smoky eye or a bronze one. But, as wonderful as lipsticks can be, the wrong colour can do more harm than good. In order to get the most out of what a lipstick has to offer, here are some tips on how to choose lipstick colours for fair, medium and darker complexions. It won't be long before you'll be shopping like a pro!
Do the Vein Test
There are innumerable shades of lipstick - which one to choose depends on your complexion and even your eyes. Everyone has undertones to their skin which is either yellow or pink. An easy way to find yours out is to examine the colour of your veins. If it's blue, you're likely to have a pink undertone and if it's green, you probably have a yellow undertone. If you can't determine the colour, you could quite possibly have a neutral tone. So if you're wondering what colour lipstick suits you, check the options below.
What Colour Lipstick Should You Wear?
1. Best lipstick shades for fair skin
Skin that's pale with pink undertones can carry off colours like berry, mauve, and pink very well. If you have fair skin with a yellow undertone, you might want to look at warm lipstick colours such as orange and bright red.
2. Best lipstick shades for medium skin
Medium or olive skin tone sits midway between fair and dark. If you're blessed with this complexion, it's easy to shop for lipstick colours. However, you still need to take a little care to prevent your skin from looking washed out. Consider shades like plum and raspberry as well as brownish-reds for warmth.
3. Best lipstick shades for dark skin
As with fair skin, dark skin can either have pink or yellow undertones. Deep red and dark mauve are perfect if you have a pink undertone. Purple and pink also look wonderful, as they keep your skin from looking ashy. If your complexion has a yellow undertone, you could go for a warmer colour like coral.
Keep in mind that your complexion can change with diet and health. Sun exposure can also tan your skin and give the illusion that your undertone has changed, even though it hasn't. What you should do is to have a collection of lipsticks in both cool and warm colours, so you can switch them up whenever you need to. Read more

9 New & Powerful Skills You Can Add To Your Resume After Becoming a Mom!
They say if you educate a boy, you educate a man, but if you educate a girl, you educate a family. Here are some new-mom skills that you can add as legit job skills to your resume!
When a child is born, a mother is born too. Becoming a mother is nothing short of rebirth, for every woman learns anew the different things about the world around her, and about human beings too – how we perceive the world around us, how we learn, how we explore, all through a tiny pair of eyes, hands, ears, and legs!
Becoming a mother changes you in more than one way – it’s almost as if Karma were being delivered to you in the form of a tiny human being who seems to be bound to bring you down to tears! But all of this toiling with a small baby definitely leads to personal growth and self-awareness.
New-Mom Skills That Double-Up as Legit Job Skills!
Now that you have figured out life after a baby, if you are planning to go back to work you will have to rework that resume. Being on a maternity break has its ups and downs. One of the downs is that it significantly sets you back, as compared to your colleagues. After you've been absent from the professional scene for over 6 months, it is obvious to feel lost!
However, you have the edge over your colleagues – because you just went and had a baby. And having a baby is nothing short of a crash-course in personal skills
1. Time Management
The first thing that motherhood teaches you is time management. There are just far too many tasks to complete for one pair of hands – you have to bathe the baby, feed her, clothe her, change her diaper, and by then it is time to feed her again, and oops did she just soil her diaper again??? And when the baby is finally sleeping, you have to get the house in order – cook for the family, cook for the baby, clean, run errands... and mothers manage all of this superbly, without crying and complaining. Any company should be lucky to have such a super-woman on board!
2. Organisation and Planning
This one goes hand in hand with time-management. A mother's day has too big and elaborate a to-do list to allow her to lose even a minute or a moment that could be productively used to complete some errand, or prepare for some task. This means she has to plan her day well. She needs to get her things – and her mind! – organised. This is definitely a desirable quality in an employee and of the best childcare skills for resume.
3. Team Building
More often than not, motherhood can get overwhelming. And when it does, mothers employ everyone in the family to lend them a helping hand – that includes the parents-in-law, the husband, the maid, and whoever else will volunteer! A woman can get all these different people to coordinate and sync, and work together as a team for the house, the family and the baby. If this isn't team building, we don't know what is!
4. Supervision and Delegation
This one goes hand in hand with team building. Once you've built a team (read: family), you need to identify what the positives and negatives or limitations of each person are (read: family member) and use them to the overall benefit and advantage of the team (read: household and family). Such a woman would no doubt make an excellent team leader or manager.
5. Patience
Motherhood makes a saint even out of the most impatient and restless woman! When your baby just refuses to feed, when she just cannot stop crying, all that's left in your hands is to be patient, and try your best to comfort your baby, hoping she'll be fine soon. Who wouldn't want to have such a cool, calm, and collected person on their team?
6. Perseverance and Tenacity
Sometimes, the only way to work around a road-block is to work through it. No one understands this better than a mother. And working through roadblocks requires tremendous perseverance and tenacity – especially if that road-block means getting your baby to poop, bathe or eat! Such incidences make a mother very perseverant and tenacious indeed – highly-valued qualities in an employee, without a doubt.
7. Communication and Negotiation
Whoever can communicate with and understand correctly what a tiny little human being – that can only laugh and cry – wants and needs, must have exceptional communication skills indeed. This makes new moms exceptionally qualified. Add to this the fact that new moms have to manage the house and the family too, and get them all to pitch in for the baby – which means their negotiation skills must be good too!
8. Crisis-management and Problem-solving
From home remedies for common ailments to being able to fix a broken pram or cradle to being able to sew a small rip in the bay's jumper – there are scores of little (and big) problems that a new mother has to face when it comes to handling a baby. This boosts her creativity and makes her an excellent resource when it comes to problem-solving.
9. Financial Management
Let’s face it – raising a child is an expensive affair! From diapers to baby food, to clothes that they outgrow each month, there are tonnes of expenses that get added to a family's expenses when a baby is born. Being the 'home'-minister, however, mothers come up with unique ways of cost-cutting and managing finances. And a resource that saves the company money is a highly-prized possession indeed! Read more

An Indian mother - her journey and struggle as new mother in a joint set up
An educated Indian mother once an independent girl married in a middle class set up that too in a joint family. Her husband is a pampered son. Still needs aot of maturity. What she goes through and what is her journey with her little one.
Her struggle to raise a hyper active child , her choices to raise her little one and interfarence of her in laws. How to remain patient and calm in such a situation. The story revolves around a happy go lucky who made lots of sacrifices for her baby and still going strong.
What keeps her alive and sane despite all the adverse circumstances? What keeps her determined towards her goals. What are her aspirations? How will she overcome this phase and what is she waiting for? How will she bounce back and get back to her normal life? How will she be able to manage family, work and personal life?
A lot of women in India go through similar situation. What do they do? How do they prove themselves? How do they manage to stay patient, humble, wise and sane when they see their lives going upside down. Is there anyone who helps them? Who do they look upto? What support do they seek in such situations?
Motherhood these days isn't same as what it used to be. Earlier women used to raise so many kids in joint families with lots of patience and kept striving to make place in the family. Do young women in India still have same patience and understanding? Are they going through this kind of situation? Why should only women suffer and do everything as mothers? Why can't they get back to their normal life? Why and how an independent woman becomes dependent on her husband or other family members? Why has to wait for so many years to many years to make her place in the family? So lany questions remain unanswered, they all say "it's just a phase" " this too shall pass" but why one has to go through such a phase. Why no one understands the struggle of a new mother? Her mental state? Her ambitions, goals, her privacy, her own life? Why are we asked to be so patient? Why do we have to listen to our husbands all the time? Why can't they listen and understand us? Why can't we raise our voice and shout as loud as them? Read more
