Independent Eating in Young Children
Teaching 3-year-old kids the right ways of feeding saves mommy-time and makes kids independent. Once your baby starts taking food, adopt these self-feeding tips for preschoolers. Begin early on. You will see him develop a fond bonding for food by self-feeding in style!
Parenting a preschooler is a full–time job that requires patience, hard work, and plenty of expert tips- right? This is especially true for those long-drawn meal times that make you sit and cajole your little one to finish. Given here are simple yet effective tips that teach your child how to eat independently and happily. Do keep your little one's plate, spoon, fork, mess rug, eating chair, table, napkins, and some teaching time at hand!
Teaching Young Children to Eat Independently
1. Getting Seated
The first thing in helping kids to eat on their own is getting them seated comfortably and confidently. Invest in a high chair, or a set of baby chair and table for inculcating healthier eating habits and fun in your efforts. Remember to keep a mess rug under the chair. However hard you may try, you'll have to deal with spills and droppings!
2. Give Choices- At Least a Few
Your three plus year old likes some food preparations and goes “ugh” at the mention of others. Respect his opinions and food preferences. Take mutual decisions regarding what to feed, the time spent on feeding, who does the feeding, and so on. Apart from giving your kid a sense of independence and control, you can also help him learn how to sample different foods, textures, and tastes in these sittings.
3. Keep Favourite Cutlery Ready
While learning to self-feed, children love to have their favourite eating aids at hand. Be it a brown wooden spoon with a wide curved handle for easy eats, or an acrylic multicoloured fork that keeps the attention away from boring food, you cannot ignore the need for such aids. Buy spoons with deep bowls and blunt forks that keep food from falling off.
4. Teaching The Use of a Fork
Once you have a safe child fork, try placing it on a plate foods like cheese, banana, chicken nuggets or other fruits that are easy to pierce. Noodles and pasta are soft too, but turn out to be messy as they tend to slip easily. Keep motivating and enabling correct eye-hand movements to stop fall-offs from the fork. These are some of the best ways of helping kids to eat independently and neatly.
5. Allow Space for Imitation
While helping your child practice self-feeding with easy-to-eat finger foods, try taking small bites alongside. Along with observing the right ways of eating at a table, your child will also learn the adorable art of lip-smacking and making cute faces while eating.
Worried about your kid lagging behind? Don't. While your neighbour’s son can fluently eat a cabbage salad at 3-years of age, yours may take slightly longer. There is no single answer to the common query that goes "At what age does a child start eating independently?" Here, regular practice is what helps! Read more

6 Quirks Of a Loving But Busy Husband
Your husband is a busy man and hardly has enough time to spend with you. However, the love and care that he lavishes on you is what makes you overlook all this. Still, if it gets you down from time to time, don't worry. There are a lot of women out there who are in identical situations.
How to Deal with a Loving But Busy Husband Calmly
1. Don’t make last-minute plans
If you‘ve ever tried to make last-minute plans with your husband without consulting him, more often than not, you’re in for disappointment. He probably spells out a long list of things that he needs to get done and why the plan will have to be postponed. So, make sure that you consult your husband before chalking up any.
2. Time out is a serious business
Since your husband hardly has enough time to spend with you, whenever he does get an opportunity, he tries to fit in as many activities as possible. Instead of a date, you end up with a hectic schedule that you’re trying to keep. Don't complain about it; make the most of the time you spend with him, or gently suggest doing just one or two things.
3. No Saturday night fever? Improvise!
If you’ve been trying to cope with a loving but busy husband, you’ll relate to this.For your busy husband who has a deadline to meet over the weekend, maybe a lunch date or evening tea would work best. Sit with him while he works or keep yourself entertained by the tube or a book.
4. Don’t just cancel a plan
If cancel a plan in the last minute, your husband probably hits the roof and tells you of the 101 things he could have done in the time instead. If you cancel a plan that was made some time back, make sure you have a good reason for it. Try to make up for it too by mixing a delicious drink and showering him with kisses.
5. Keep him updated
Though this can be annoying, take it in your stride and tell yourself to update his calendar and set a reminder for him. After all, he is a busy man!
6. Remember that it's always the boss' way!
When you start to plan a date with your husband, does he ask you to hold on till he confirms it with his boss? It’s certainly an irritating quirk, but the fact is, he needs his superior to assert that there’s no agenda before he plans an outing. Keep your cool and understand his predicament.
Being married to a man who’s always busy is not easy. There are times when you feel left out and lonely. But, don't forget that he loves you. Hang in there and make the most of the time that you get with him. Read more

The 'Bumpy' Ride - Pregnancy in Pandemic for a health care worker.
To say that my pregnancy so far has been 'bumpy' would be an understatement. I had perfectly planned life goals. Be it getting into a med school and marrying my childhood sweetheart to pursuing Anaesthesiology and Critical Care. The timing was perfect. I got a job at a multispeciality hospital and we decided to 'plan' for a baby and voila! I got pregnant. I continued to work while enjoying my pregnancy time. Then Covid happened. My hospital was a designated covid hospital. Life from then has never been simple. With every ICU call, I would tremble with fear. That has never happened to me in the last 5 years. I was in dilemma whether I'am doing right by the baby by putting myself in danger and at the same time I couldn't refuse emergency care to someone in need. I hadn't even imagined that I'll have to choose between my personal and professional life. My parents are both doctors, working despite being 'high risk' due to age. When I hear all mommies-to-be getting pampered by their mommies, all I pray and wish for is the safety of my parents. I'am not allowed to meet them because I am considered high risk too. At 28 weeks I decided to take an early maternity leave. Amidst all the bumps in life when I look at my baby bump, I smile and tell my baby that this too shall pass. I have now realised that though planning helps, one must always be mentally prepared for when it fails too. The trick is to deal one day at a time and be grateful for today. Tomorrow is uncertain and unpredictable. One day, years later I can tell my baby, stories about what it was like to be a frontliner and pregnant in a pandemic. Read more

A. If your provider diagnoses chorioamnionitis, they'll give you antibiotics to help treat the infection. Antibiotics are typically given through an IV (medication through a needle directly into your vein). In some cases, providers recommend an early delivery. This can prevent additional issues for you and your baby.
