Real Parenting: 6 Things You Should Stop Feeling Guilty About

First off, let’s all take a moment to accept the ultimate truth about parenting - IT ISN’T EASY! One day you learn that you’re going to become a parent and start reading up on every possible guide to raise a model child; the next thing you know, you’re knee-deep in stained clothes and broken toys, trying to hear the thoughts in your head while your kid screams in the background. Kids don’t come with an instruction manual and pieces of conflicting parenting advice will overflow from every corner, so, of course, you’re bound to be confused about certain matters. Now, confusion is acceptable. But there are certain perfectly reasonable things that you will have to do or say or make decisions about that can make you feel guilty; and well, they shouldn’t! 6 Things You Need to Stop Feeling Guilty About As a Parent If anyone (including yourself!) gives you a hard time over the following things, know that you have nothing to feel guilty about! 1. Being a Working Parent This tends to be especially true in the case the mother is also working, because dads are expected to be the primary breadwinners. As a working mom, you probably feel bad about sacrificing the time you could spend with your child, by working (more so if you actually enjoy your job). But why should you feel bad about contributing to the income of the family, putting your education to use, and setting a good example for your child? And let’s face it, we’re not living in very inexpensive times either, and an additional income is always beneficial! “But how do I make it up to my child?” Duties at home are the responsibilities of both parents, for starters, so make sure that they’re designated proportionately, so that you both have enough time to spend with your child. When you’re with your little one, make sure that he knows that it’s just you and him, with no space for anyone else. Once in a rare while, play hooky too; skip a day at work, take him out of school, and go have a parent-child day! Those are the memories he’s going to cherish once he’s all grown up! 2. Not Being Able to Give Your Child Everything His Peers Have As a parent, we’re sure you’re already providing your kid with quality education, plenty of wholesome meals, coaching in extra-curricular activities - you know, things that a parent ought to provide. But if you’re going to give in to all of your child’s material desires or compare what you’re giving him with what his peers are getting, you’re just going to find yourself wracked with guilt. This is an unnecessary burden you’re carrying. In fact, giving your child everything he asks for isn’t going to teach him very valuable lessons. You may just end up spoiling him and he may grow up to be materialistic. “But won’t he resent me for not giving him what he wants?” Kids are always going to be fascinated by something new, just as much as they may lose interest in it almost the very next day. Granted, saying ‘no’ won’t make you very popular, but giving in to all of your child’s whims and fancies will just make him lose value for the things you do for him. Ensure that he doesn’t grow up to understand that spending less money means that he’s in unfortunate situations. If anything, teach him to be grateful for all that he has. But this doesn’t mean you refuse him everything he asks for. If you see that there is something he earnestly wishes for, get it or do it for him. After all, who else can make his wishes come true, if not his parents! 3. For Occasionally Yelling At Your Kid Unless your child is an absolute saint (lucky you!), he’s going to be up to some mischief or the other that will warrant some hard words and yelling from you. It’s not the most pleasant feeling and you’ll often feel bad that you’ve scolded your precious little munchkin so harshly. Well, not going to lie, you’re going to be doing this for quite a while; and that’s only because you love your baby so much that you can’t imagine any harm befalling him! But if yelling and losing your patience is all that seems to go on from your end, then there could be a problem. “So what should I do?” Identify whether your response to your child’s antics are healthy or seem to be a bit too much, both, the reactions (excessive yelling, intense anger, creating a stressful environment) and its frequency. While yelling at your child once because he upturned the entire bottle of juice right after you’ve cleaned the kitchen floor is actually okay (come on, you just mopped that entire area!), screaming after him continuously isn’t! There may be underlying reasons which may cause you to overreact to the smallest of things, and if there are, they need to be checked and corrected. However, if you’ve yelled at him for something that turned out to be no fault of his, apologise; it teaches him that saying sorry is important, whether you’re a child OR a parent. 4. For Not Denying Your Child His Screen Time Today’s parents have yet another aspect of new-age parenting to be ashamed about - letting their kids watch TV or play video games. For some reason, today, it’s considered that any bit of leisure time in a child’s day requires to be optimised for his development, and watching TV could harm his intellect! Why, though? Didn’t we all grow up watching cartoons and shows on TV, and didn’t it help us in many ways? Didn’t we learn a new language or learn about a new culture; or just had fun and have memories to look back on when we’re all grown up now? And honestly, the time that the kids are in front of a screen does fetch the parent some downtime - a win-win situation that you shouldn’t feel bad about! “But what if he gets addicted?” Well, of course, you should be clear about the rules of screen time - when your child gets to watch TV or play games, for how long, and when it should be completely off limits. If it gets to the point where his screen time gets in the way of actually socialising with others, it certainly needs an intervention. But if it isn’t a big problem, let the kid have his 1 hour of Pokemon or Chota Bheem; he deserves to have stories of his favourite after-school TV show when he grows up! 5. For Your Child’s Misbehaviour in Public If your child throws tantrums in the supermarket because you said no to him getting a spatula (little kids want everything they see, don’t they!), don’t peg this as your fault. Little kids misbehave, and that’s a known fact. The looks you’re getting from others are either those of sympathy from people who’ve ‘been there and done that’, or those of irritation from people who’ve clearly not handled kids a lot! “But what I do if it gets out of hand?” Your child’s misbehaviour can be traced back to being hungry, being tired, being overstimulated, or just wanting to test your patience! Feed him if he’s being cranky and try not to schedule outdoor tasks and chores when your child is bound to be tired. But if he’s causing trouble on purpose, you need to devise effective disciplinary strategies. Make sure that he realises that his actions will have consequences, and enforce them with urgency. Immediate consequences leave a lasting impression on the child and he’s bound to not repeat his mistake. 6. Not Being Able to Be a Super-Parent If anyone has come across as the ideal parent to you - perfectly dressed and well-behaved kids with their perfectly dressed and well-behaved parents - know that you caught them on their best day. Every parent struggles with the multiple roles that have been bestowed upon him or her - mom/dad, working professional, chef, in-house doctor, emotional punching bag, homework helper, every-problem-in-the-world-solver - and it does get to be too much at times. Beating yourself up for not being able to fix your child’s latest problem or having forgotten to pack his lunch, even, is not the answer. “But I’m supposed to be able to do it all!” You’re a parent, but you’re also only human. There will be days you would want to throw in the towel, break down in tears, or want to blame yourself for not being the ‘fixer’. Have your moment of getting it all out, but remember that you’re still, and will always be, your child’s superhero. Be willing to ask AND accept help whenever you need. Your child isn’t going to lose all love and respect for you if he finds out that you too can fail at something; it will teach him that no one is perfect, and that’s quite alright. At the end of the day, no one knows what’s best for your kids like you do. Make your decisions, let go of perfection, admit your mistakes, seek advice, and don’t let the parent-guilt get to you while you’re doing better than anyone can for your child!

Your Toddler's Average Weight and Height - From 12 to 24 Months

A baby brings immense joy in a family. When you have a baby, you take care of his every little need and prioritise his happiness over everything else. We know you take care of your little one in the best way possible, but to ensure that your toddler grows up properly and meets his milestones in time, you should keep note of his height and weight. Genetic factors, environment, nationality, ethnicity, age, race, gender are some factors that decide the height and weight of a child, but not completely. However, you can take note of these factors and monitor your child’s height and weight to identify any health problems. This would help you in ensuring optimum nutrition for your child. Height and Weight Chart for Toddlers Below are the two charts to give you information regarding the average height and weight of toddlers (from 12 months to 24 months).

Record your child's height and weight every month so that your paediatrician gets an idea of your child's growth pattern. He will be able to find out your child’s body mass index (BMI). This would assist him in deciding what is best for your toddler. Here are some ways you can maintain a healthy weight and height of your child: Breastfeed your child at least until he turns a year old. Once he turns six months old, you can start giving him healthy foods like fruits and vegetables in pureed form. Indulge your child in physical activities. Play with him; exercise with him, or take him for a stroll in a park. Allow your toddler to eat until he's full but don't force him to eat. Limit screen time for your toddler. You want the best for your toddler, don't you? So, keep a track of his height and weight. If his growth and development take place in the right manner, he will stay healthy and happy. And by tracking his height and weight, you will also be able to ensure that he gets the right amount of nutrition!

19 Weeks Pregnant with Twins or Multiples

When you are carrying twins in the 19th week of your pregnancy or even multiple babies for that matter, know that you have come a long way since you conceived them. No doubt, you would be more relaxed and in control of your own body and the subtle changes that might be making themselves known to you over the weeks. Keeping your babies safe within your belly holds priority in the 19th week of pregnancy. A proper nourishment programme that ensures the intake of the right nutrients for the baby’s growth, combined with a balance of exercise and fitness for your own, can help prep the both of you together for the final months of your pregnancy. The Growth of the Babies At 19 Weeks The 19th week of pregnancy holds numerous events for you that will leave you astounded. Your babies are getting more and more aware of themselves and the environment around them through the coming weeks and will continue to do so in the months that arrive. With the little ones having improved control over their limbs, the babies would be able to clench their fingers together to form a fist and probably stay like that for a long time. Some can even cross their arms over their chests, and the sucking of the thumb can initiate as well if it hasn’t already. Even though different parts of your body are taking all the actions needed to keep them alive and happy, the various senses that are present in a human being are activated within your children, too. When you speak or hum a tune or listen to a song, or when you eat anything, a lot of sensory perception is achieved by the babies within the womb, as their brain begins to process these signals and attempts to make sense of them. This is how the nervous system creates a massive network connecting every inch of the body to the brain. If your children have not been covered with vernix in the previous week of your pregnancy, it should ideally happen around this week for sure. With the body hair and fluid layer covering the bodies of your babies, they remain protected with their body temperature regulated to its optimal level. Bone development continues to progress ahead and harden over time, as well as an improvement in the functioning of the heart and kidneys. What is The Size of the Babies? If you pull out the ultrasound scan of the baby you had in your 8th or 9th week of pregnancy and try to compare it with what you see now, the change in size will be no less than a surprise. Babies usually weigh around 200 grams, which is again lower for multiple babies. Their physical size, however, would be as large as that of mango or a tomato. Most babies are around 14 to 15 centimetres in length, with twins or triplets being a tad smaller in comparison. Similarly, their weight usually hovers around 200 grams, which is again lower for multiple babies. Their physical size, however, would be as large as that of a mango or a tomato. Common Bodily Changes The changes that your body undergoes in the 19th week of your pregnancy are usually all physical, as your body tries its best to cope with the increasing weight and internal changes to support the growth of the babies within your womb. The blood circulation in your body is still going pretty strong. The increasing size of your not so little ones requires a lot of nutrition and oxygen to support it. That increment in the volume of your blood and boosted circulation, makes its presence felt in various regions of your body as well, especially your nose. All women do not experience nosebleeds, but nearly 15 to 20 percent of women tend to have it, which is highly present in cases of multiple babies present in the pregnancy. The more the babies, the higher the pressure experienced by the blood vessels present within the nostrils. At times, these rupture under that pressure and start bleeding. A strange phenomenon that also takes place is the shift in blood supply from other portions of the body towards the pelvic region, which is where the uterus is located. This usually affects the legs in pregnant women, which end up getting a low quantity of blood as compared to the usual that they receive. This ends up in displaying the veins present under the skin, in the form of swollen, twisted and large lines in dark blue or purple colour. Such a phenomenon is termed as varicose veins. While most conditions only tend to look disastrous but rarely cause any issues, you might occasionally find them painful. Another aspect that blood circulation causes is the possibility of blood pooling in specific regions of the body, unable to move away from there. Also, even if a woman has a balanced diet, there are chances that the quantity of potassium present in the body might take a dip. All of these work together and result in swelling occurring in various areas of the body. Furthermore, if you are used to standing for long hours or are stepping out in the summer heat while you are pregnant, your face, legs and feet would quite literally be swollen due to it. Adjusting your diet to reduce caffeine and increase potassium has usually helped resolve the situation effectively Symptoms Of Twin Pregnancy At 19 Weeks The signs that your body experiences when you are carrying multiples in your womb are usually an indicator of the fact, that the focus is being placed more on the safety and security of the children, which might cause an aberration in your condition, at times. There’s no escape from physics. Your babies are growing and putting on weight and this will result in your centre of gravity shifting away from where it usually tends to be. Trust your back to take all the load in maintaining your gait and posture, at the cost of extreme stress on its self. All of this will manifest in a backache. Keeping a proper position and attempting to sleep sideways can give it a much-needed break from it. This pressure of increasingly heavy babies is not purely physical. Various nerves and muscles in the body are put under pressure as well, including blood vessels. The cramps in your legs are a result of it but can be deftly handled by quickly massaging the leg or stretching it repeatedly. Another pain that results due to the increasing size of the uterus stems from the abdomen. The ligaments present within have been stretched quite a bit by now, making space for the uterus to sit comfortably. In the case of triplets, this ligament pain would be even stronger than what you might assume. With all the blood circulation focused on the babies and the uterus putting pressure on the diaphragm internally, the inhalation of oxygen takes a hit along with the supply of blood to the brain. Therefore, any sudden change in orientation or long periods of concentration can usually result in headaches or spells of dizziness. It is essential to keep yourself secure if these keep happening recurrently. Twin Pregnancy - Belly At 19 Weeks Compared to the earlier weeks, the significant increase in the size of the belly would be pretty evident this time around, causing you to adjust your balance often. With the uterus sinking even lower below the navel, this is where your tummy accepts the presence of babies inside it. Twin Pregnancy at 19 Weeks - Ultrasound Some doctors might either postpone your ultrasound until you reach an exact midpoint of your pregnancy journey. If you decide to pre-empt it, this ultrasound will show you a pretty good picture of what your babies are looking like. Since the skin that has developed over the children is partially transparent, sharp eyes would be able to see the bone structure along with numerous organs developing within the child. Most doctors also conduct a repeat check of the vital parameters and revisit their conclusion on the presence of abnormalities or any health condition. What To Eat As your babies progress ahead in pregnancy, the necessity of proper nutrition starts getting even more critical. Abstinence from any food items that are fried, spicy or rich in trans fats is highly recommended, along with any items that have food colours, preservatives, etc. Boiled meat, along with vegetables and nuts rich in iron and calcium should be included. Pregnancy Care Tips Keeping a few checks on the state of your body and your habits are enough to maintain your safe nature in the pregnancy. Do's It is excellent if you can lock in a paediatrician for your children around this week Take some rest, especially in the evenings, and spend some good time with your babies Dont's Avoid continuing an intense exercise regimen in the upcoming weeks Don’t ignore any irritation or itching in the vagina, as it could indicate a yeast infection What You Need To Shop For When looking to make your pregnancy an even better experience, you can opt to buy a few items, such as: A maternity belt, to help support the baby weight Maternity clothes or bras if you haven’t done so already Moving around your house or outside with twins at 19 weeks in the womb shouldn’t be a cause for worry at all. Indulge in regular and light exercise, take nice walks with your partner, and spend time imagining the best result your pregnancy can give you.

Use tiered shelves to hold soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other bathroom essentials. A tiny apartment calls for optimisation of available space. You can add wired shelves on cabinet doors to hold more. It's a smart storage idea for apartments and detached houses alike. 2. Baskets, Baskets Everywhere Use baskets to store toys neatly. You can place them under your children's beds or study tables. Store cookbooks in a basket and push it into the cabinet under the kitchen countertop. You can use wired baskets to store office supplies instead of letting them clutter your workstation. In case you don't have space for a dressing table, use a basket to store makeup and body basics and store it in your closet or on your bedside table. 3. Go for Extra Compartments Instead of picking an ordinary coffee table for your living room, go for one with drawers and a shelf. Ottomans with storage space are also great. You can store old newspapers and magazines in them. Get beds with built-in storage. Put in bed linen including blankets and bulky winter wear when summer comes around. 4. Hook up Use them in your living room to hang letter holders and keys. You can place them in the kitchen too to hang small pots, ladles and tea cups. Put up hooks behind bedroom doors to place jackets and scarves as well as in the bathroom to hang up loofahs and towels. Put up a few in closets too for necklaces and bracelets. You don't need to upend everything and redesign your home - small changes can make big waves. Simply use these storage tips to efficiently stow away your belongings in a small apartment. Present yourself and your family with an uncluttered living space and make your home look warm and welcoming to your visitors. Read more
