When Your Toddler Refuses to Keep Clothing On
Some toddlers refuse to keep their clothes on once they figure out how to remove it. If your toddler's undressing at every given opportunity is stressing you out, learn why he's doing it and how you can stop him from it.
You may dress your toddler in the best of clothes but instead of keeping them on, he takes the first opportunity to take them off. When you wake up in the morning, he’s in his birthday suit, looking relaxed and smug. Apart from driving you up the wall, this new habit can be quite embarrassing, especially if he decides to disrobe in front of strangers or publicly. Moreover, if he takes off his diaper, it can get very messy! Why does he do this?
Reasons Why Your Toddler is Taking Clothes off
1. Uncomfortable Clothes
Your child may not enjoy the touch of frills and lace against her skin, or your son may not like the bow tie around his neck or the line of buttons on his sweaters. Maybe he’s feeling hot and sweaty and doesn’t have the verbal skills to express himself.
2. Diaper Woes
Diapers get uncomfortable when soggy and heavy. Being unable to express himself, your child just pulls it off out of frustration. It could also be that he’s ready to be potty trained, and when he needs to go, he pulls off his diaper because he doesn’t like the uncomfortable feeling. Watch out for signs that he’s ready to be potty trained such as squatting in a corner, or scrunching up his face.
3. Seeking Attention
Your 16-month-old may refuse to stay dressed almost every chance he has, because of the reaction it gets out of you. It might be his way of getting attention from you or the people around him. Whether you go red in the face and start shouting at him, or start making him wear his clothes, he’s fulfilled his goal!
4. Displaying New Skills
Your child may have just learnt how to undo zippers, and unfasten Velcro, or pull his arm out of a sleeve. For him, taking clothes off is a new and exciting activity, and he will want to do it over and over again till he gets bored or learns something new.
What to Do When Toddlers Undress Themselves
There are a few things you can do to prevent disrobing in toddlers. Try putting the clothes on backwards so that he can’t open the fasteners so easily. If it’s the diaper that seems to be bothering him, change it more frequently to avoid his irritation. Get your child comfortable clothing that doesn’t irritate his skin too. Onesies are generally tougher to take off, so you could have him wear them.
If your child just likes the freedom of being naked, give him some time to be without clothes, like 5 minutes before a bath. If your toddler’s tantrums are taken out on his clothing, try and explain to him about public and private places and how certain body parts should be covered. Most importantly, don’t over react Stay calm and apply these tips. Read more

Dry Eyes during Pregnancy - Causes and Tips
Most parts of a woman’s body change during pregnancy and eyes are a part of this list. Dry eyes are a well-known side-effect of pregnancy. It usually begins towards the end of the first trimester and may continue throughout the pregnancy and also for some months after the baby’s birth. Having dry eyes in the third trimester of pregnancy is quite common. Other eye changes might also occur in addition to dry eye, causing irritation, especially when contact lenses are worn.
Causes of Dry Eyes during Pregnancy
1. Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes are one of the major reasons for dry eyes, especially a decrease of the male androgen hormone. During delivery and nursing, these hormonal levels remain constant, but some women may continue to experience dry eye symptoms during nursing.
2. Decreased Tear Production
During pregnancy, hormonal changes usually cause a decline in tear production. Dry eyes are sure to occur when tears are produced in a smaller volume.
3. Oil Gland Production
During pregnancy, the oil glands act differently than they normally do. These oil changes sometimes block the production of lipids and oils that are functioned to lubricate the eye. The consistency of the tears is changed due to this reduction in lipids and oils. As a result, a dry eye is caused when blinking because there is nothing to prevent the eyelids from rubbing against the eye. To temporarily open blocked oil glands, hot compressions can be applied to the region of the eye.
4. Increased Tears
Some women experience an increase in tear production which is an exact opposite of what most women experience, decreased tear production. When the ocular surface is irritated, it reflexively produces poor quality tears to eliminate the irritant and lubricate the eye.
Symptoms of Dry Eyes in Pregnancy
Though generally harmless, having dry eyes in pregnancy can be very uncomfortable and annoying. Some of the symptoms include
Sticky eyelids, usually when you wake in the morning
Red or sore eyes
Moments of blurred vision, which usually goes when you blink
A gritty feeling in the eyes that tend to become worse as the day goes on
Tips to Comfort Dry Eyes
Here are some tips to comfort dry eyes during pregnancy:
1. Artificial Tears
To lessen the irritation and discomfort of the dry eye syndrome, artificial tears can be used. They are safe to use during pregnancy and nursing. The artificial tears that replace part of the lipid layer in tears are very helpful. If you wear contacts, make sure that you choose appropriate lens-re-wetting eye drops.
2. Warm Compressions
The Meibomian glands can be opened up and stimulated by gently giving warm compressions on the eyes. This restores the glands to normal by bringing proper blood flow to the required area.
3. Punctal Occlusion
Plugging your tear ducts, also called punctal occlusion, is a medical procedure that involves blocking your puncta. A puncta is a small opening in the corners of the eye that drains tears. When the puncta are blocked there is an increase in the tears to bathe the front part of the eye. Punctal occlusion is a safe procedure for pregnant women.
When to Consult a Doctor
See a doctor if your symptoms are becoming worse. You may have a bacterial infection and need antibiotic drops. Visit a gynaecologist if you see flashes or flickering because these symptoms could be an early indication of pre-eclampsia. This is an implication of high blood pressure. Flashes and flickering may also be an indication of impairment of retina. In such cases, consult an eye doctor.
Dry eyes are a common symptom of pregnancy. However, it is important that you do not self-medicate. Consult a doctor who will recommend safe remedies for your dry eyes during pregnancy.

When You're Feeling Down, These 5 Things Will Keep You Going!
Embarking on a journey in your new role as a mom is incredibly exciting. But what if stagnation strikes and challenges your identity as a woman and as a mother? Learn how to welcome change in your life that casts a spell in getting your mojo back.
Motherhood isn't just a life-changing event, but it also brings challenges that are always ready to knock you down. What's important is that you find the strength to bounce back and learn to deal with the ups and downs. Welcome this transition of becoming a mother with a positive attitude and perseverance. Bring the mojo back into your life and rejuvenate your spirit!
Tips to Get Your Mojo Back
If you feel stressed out, depressed, lethargic, irritated, or just plain depleted, you may have lost your mojo. If you're wondering just what mojo is, it's that spark or that spell that keeps your spirits up and your mind balanced. When it goes out of whack, you need to make a conscious effort to pick yourself up, rediscover your mojo and enjoy being a mother.
1. Let Go of The Word 'Stress'
Stress can suck the mojo out of even the most confident and cheerful mom. The first item on your agenda is to make sure you address what's stressing you out no matter how minor it may be. Always try to give yourself some 'me time' and zone in on the source of your irritation or anxiety. You'll discover it's easier to find a solution and lighten your load. Discuss your problems with your family and your partner too. You don't and shouldn't have to go through this alone.
2. Show Love Towards Your Body
Start taking care of yourself and make the very best of what you have. Hate all that pregnancy weight that's just taking eons to get rid of? Don't be in a hurry to shed it all but take small steps at a time. Just a haircut, a hint of make-up and gorgeous attire can make you feel better. Each day, remind yourself to be happy about yourself and what you've achieved. Mojo-inspiring and mood-boosting food can also do wonders for your mind.
3. Do Some 'Why Time'
Everyone has a list of things that they'd like to do and moms are no different. No matter how weird yours are, make a things-to-do list and take a moment to think about why you want to do them. You can start with simple and enjoyable tasks maybe just by yourself or with your little one. The more you can tick off your list, the easier it'll be to get your mojo back..
4. Take a Risk!
Do you feel like there's no more adventure in your life? No doubt, your baby brings you endless joy, but if you crave doing something really out there, then it's time to bring back some adventure into your life. Do something you've always wanted to, even if it's out of character. Go underwater diving, bungee jumping and zip lining. However, you can scale it down if that all seems a bit much. Enjoying a jungle safari with your little toddler or booking a spontaneous weekend trip and having some girly time with your daughter can also help get your mojo back.
5. Meditate
You don't need to go the whole mile and book yourself into a month-long yoga camp. You can, however, make some time every day to just sit and release your thoughts. If you're like most moms with a brood that won't leave you alone long enough to catch a breather, you can meditate for 10 to 15 minutes every day once you tuck them into bed. If you have trouble concentrating, light a candle and focus on the flame. Don't block out thoughts; just let them flow and release them.
Without change life becomes monotonous and frustration sets in. Now that you're a mom, your priorities will alter and life will take a different turn. Welcome this change! Change your thoughts, your attitude and the pattern of your will eventually change. Redirect negative energy and use it as fodder to do something constructive and get ready for all the surprises that destiny has in store for you. Read more

Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set Sports Theme for Infants Review
Significance of the product in my life was to make a comfortable place for him so while sleeping, playing and having happy time while using it. I wanted his own bed like ours so that he will be able to adapt the comfort of a bed like his own and this bedding set fulfilled that need as my baby found a cosy place that he loves to spend almost every time of his daily routine. He used to make himself comfortable every place using his mini bed. This made family, friends and relatives visits easy as we used to travel more often.
Overall take on Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set is that it is secure and gives comfortable sleep. Using this my son never gets irritated or cranky while sleeping as he loves to sleep and cuddle the cute mini bolsters, which makes his sleep more comfortable and cozy. Also after sleep these bolsters make sure that he is not falling off or moving away from the Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set hence it’s a safe place with less worries in mind when baby is sleeping in case he is sleeping alone. Also the pillow keeps his head intact and stable while sleeping.
I liked most about the on Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set was the fabric that is used making the set as it is very comfortable to a sensitive skins like of a new born. Also the internal material is good one that does not cause any allergic issues while using the same. With time and wash the fabric even becomes more soft and easy to handle. Also the add-on was that it was very east to carry to each and every pace we used to visit with our child. My son loves the print on the Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set and he learns new words daily with his curious mind.

Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set is soft, cozy and non-allergic Kids friendly convenient product that can be used regularly without a doubt. Every mother would love to use Babyhug Premium Cotton Bedding Set as a cute support system for baby’s daily routine. Its print makes kids learn new words and things with time that is beneficial. Additional pillows are very good and made in such a way that baby gets his own space to sleep with the comfort of holding it while sleeping so he never feels that he is sleeping on his own, reduces the fear of sleeping all alone which is very common in kids.

A. I think it would be advisable for you to get an ultrasound done with your doctor that’s going to give you a clarity because if there is a pregnancy it would be visible at least at least that sack is visible if it’s a regular pregnancy so it would be advisable to have a test with your doctor

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. But it is really very difficult to say anything without proper examination. It is advisable to get yourself evaluated by a gynaecologist and follow doctors advise properly. You can also book online doctor’s appointment on FirstCry where the doctor can guide you properly.
Thanks and take care
