Should You Use Mineral Oil for Babies?
The skin of babies is super sensitive and delicate. This is due to the initial developing stage that your little one goes through. The oversensitive skin, thus calls for extra care and precautions that one must take as a parent. This includes using the right kind of products on the skin.
Mineral oil, for instance, has been widely used for babies. But the question is whether it is safe or not. Before you apply anything on your baby’s skin, knowing the pros and cons can come in handy.
What is Mineral Oil?
Mineral oil or aptly the white mineral oil is a by-product that is derived from refining crude oil that is further used for making petroleum-based products and gasoline. Mineral oil is a transparent liquid that appears to be colourless and is an ingredient in a lot of baby cosmetic products, including the baby oil. When you browse through the ingredients of your baby’s oil, you’ll find “paraffinum liquidum” listed on it. This is what signifies the concentration of mineral oil in the oil.
Is Mineral Oil Safe for Babies?
No, mineral oil isn’t safe for babies. Whether you are using mineral oil for babies’ hair or for their body, it is considered to be unsafe. Mineral oil may lead to toughening of skin that may further lead to dryness. This mineral oil tends to clog your baby’s skin pores that, in turn, suffocate the skin.
The reason behind it is simple. The skin requires space for breathing. It does that with the help of minute pores on the skin. But, when the skin’s surface is covered with a layer of mineral oil, the skin dirt tends to settle down. Such a situation is not at all ideal in case of babies as the dirt may transform into the toxins that may harm the baby later.
When wondering “is mineral oil safe for babies with constipation”, it has a dicey perspective. On the one hand, mineral oil is considered to be a great remedy for constipation. It is believed; when mineral oil is massaged over the intestinal surface which, in turn, averts water absorption.
On the other side, mineral oil is not safe for infants and is not even recommended by doctors for babies under the age of six. Even if you are using mineral oil based products on kids, it is highly advised to minimize it or stop it altogether.
What are the Side-Effects of Using Mineral Oil on Infants?
Mineral oil has a number of side effects when baby health is the matter of concern. Some of which, include:
1. Skin Pore Clogging
Skin requires breathing for its normal functioning. When mineral oil is applied to a baby’s body, the skin develops a layer that obstructs the dirt and other impurities from escaping.
2. Digestion Issues
Babies have a tendency to put anything and everything in the mouth. Be it hands or the feet; babies can be seen putting them in the mouth. And, when you have recently massaged their hands and feet, the mineral oil is likely to get into the system, which, in turn, leads to indigestion.
3. Negative Impact on Cell Development
For your surprise, the mineral oil does not moisturize your baby’s skin. On the other side, mineral oil also resists the moisture absorption from around the air, thus, negative impact on the normal cell development.
4. Candidiasis Vulnerability
In case you apply mineral oil to your baby’s skin; that are lower in weight there are possibilities that they may develop candidiasis or yeast infection.
5. Nutritional Deficiencies
When mineral oil for baby massage is used, the skin usually absorbs it. Once the oil gets absorbed, it makes its way to the intestinal system. In turn, the vitamins get saturated, thus the nutritional deficiencies.
Looking into how mineral oil can harm your baby, try to shift over to safer alternatives such as the flax-seed oil. And, in case you observe any of the mentioned side effects in your baby, do not hesitate to contact a dermatologist.

10 Science Project Ideas for Kids
A curious child is inherently a scientist because all he wants to do is discover something new and explore the unknown. When learning science, this is what gets all the children excited about it. Understanding the principles of physics and chemistry is definitely necessary. But what keeps their interest going are science fair projects for kids, which allow them to see all those concepts and ideas manifest in real life. And they don’t have to be too difficult or complicated.
Easy Science Projects for Children to Do at School or Home
Here are some simple science projects that kids can create.
1. A Flower that Changes its Colour to Match the Colour of the Water
The basics of flora and fauna are taught pretty early in school. And this project will make them understand it even better.
What You Will Need
Flowers, preferably white roses or carnations
Food colours, preferably red, blue, yellow and so on
A few plastic cups
A knife or a cutter
Water
Instructions
Place all the plastic cups in a straight line on the table. Fill each of them up with water until they are filled halfway.
Choose a colour for each cup and add 30-35 drops of food colour in the water. Add some more until the colour is properly vivid.
Take the flowers and help your kid cut the stem of each of them using a knife or a cutter with precaution. If your child is too young, you can carry out this task instead. This cut should be inclined at an angle.
Now place one flower in each cup. You can make your guesses as to which colour will be picked up by the flower first and in how much time. This is a lengthy experiment so it can take up to a day as well.
In another variation of the same project, instead of making an inclined angular cut, you can cut the stem right through the middle.
Once that’s done, place one end of the stem in one colour and the other in a different one.
This can really make your child wonder as to which colour will be soaked up first, and how the flower will look. This will also help him understand the manner in which plants soak up water.
2. Simulating a Hot Water Geyser with a Bottle of Cola
All that fizz in your favourite beverage can be put to use to understand science better.
What You Will Need
A couple of large bottles of Cola, preferably without sugar
A bunch of peppermint tablet rolls
Paper
Instructions
Before you begin, it is best to find the right spot to do this since this project is going to make a mess. Find an abandoned area, or a large field, preferably where the coke can be soaked in the sand.
Open the bottle of Cola and place it properly on the ground or a raised platform. Make sure it is stable and vertical.
Now comes the difficult part. The key to this project is to make sure all the peppermint tablets are put into the Cola at the same time.
Take out the tablets and keep them ready aside. Then roll the paper into a tube, such that its diameter is equal to or slightly less than the opening of the bottle, but large enough to put multiple peppermint tablets through it.
Maintain some distance, stretch your arms and hold the paper over the bottle. Put all the tablets into the Cola and move back immediately.
What follows will be a magnificent display of Cola exploding upwards like a gas geyser from the earth.
3. Checking if Your Helmet Can Really Protect Your Head
This project not only educates your child in understanding the need for a helmet but trains him in the basics of conducting experiments and noting results.
What You Will Need
Different helmets, such as a motorbike, cycling helmet, etc.
Watermelons or muskmelons
A ladder or a vertical high ground
A measuring tape
Camera
Paper and pen
Instructions
If you have a balcony that’s not too high or a raised platform on your terrace, those can work for this experiment. Else, it is best to get a ladder and know the height where you will be standing.
This experiment is more about carrying out tests consistently as a team. One kid could make notes, the other could shoot the experiment, and the third could be the one dropping the melons and helmets.
Initially, measure the actual height you’d be dropping the objects from. The height needs to be consistent throughout. It should be at least 10 feet.
Begin by dropping only the fruit from that height. Note how much damage is caused to the fruit.
Then, put another fruit in the motorbike helmet, secure it properly, and drop the helmet. Note any damage that occurs to it and in which areas.
Try it out with other helmets and varying heights.
Once all results and documentation have been obtained, everyone can go through the results and arrive at a conclusion to know the limit up to which a helmet can provide protection.
4. Magical Milk that Moves with its Colours Even Without Touching it
Let your child marvel at the multi-coloured milk and its apparently magical movement, as he understands more about molecules.
What You Will Need
Whole milk
Some cotton swabs
Soap meant for dishwashing
Food colours, preferably red, blue, green, yellow
A large plate
Instructions
Place the dinner plate on a table. Pour milk into it such that it forms a small pool of about 0.25 inches. Let the milk settle down and be still.
Then, choose a colour and add a single drop to the milk. Add this drop in the centre of the plate. Follow it up by adding other colour drops as well.
Now take a cotton swab and ask your kid to touch the centre of the milk portion with the swab. You don’t need to stir it or move it at all. Just need to touch it. Increase the curiosity by asking each child what they think might happen.
Once that is done, then dip the other end of the swab in the dish-washing soap. Place this soapy end of the swab in the centre of the milk for about 15 seconds. Then observe how the colour just spills around.
Try the same experiment by touching the swab in different areas of the milk and see what happens each time. The fantastic visuals of colours moving by themselves in the milk will be enough to mesmerise everyone.
5. A Carbon Dioxide Sandwich Which Cannot be Eaten
The properties of carbon dioxide are intriguing to be studied in gaseous as well as solid form. This is one of the best ways to teach them to your kid.
What You Will Need
Plastic goggles
Plastic bags, preferably the ones with a Ziploc
Some baking soda
Vinegar
A bunch of cups and spoons to measure
Instructions
Safety first. Ensure you as well your kid is wearing the plastic goggles properly that cover the eyes securely on all sides.
Take the larger plastic bags with the Ziploc. Add about a tablespoon of baking soda to it. Repeat the same for a couple more bags.
Take the smaller plastic bags now. Add different quantities of vinegar in each bag. One could have a quarter of a cup, another one-third of the cup, another could have half a cup. Seal these bags securely by locking the zip.
Now, place these vinegar bags inside the bags with baking soda. While locking these larger bags, make sure you remove all the air that’s inside them.
Now take these bags outside or in an open area, since it is going to make a mess.
This is the fun part. Ask your kid to punch the bags such that the vinegar inside breaks out. Once that happens, hold the bag and shake it vigorously to make sure the vinegar and soda mix properly.
Now observe each bag and see how long it takes for them to start expanding and then finally pops.
6. Baby Diapers are Science Projects by Themselves
With all the poop and pee that they hold, this single quality can help your kid understand science in an interesting way.
What You Will Need
Diapers
Ziploc bags
Scissors
Newspaper
Salt
Spoon
A plastic cup
Water
Instructions
Take a diaper and cut it open to remove all the inner material. Stuff all that material inside a Ziploc bag.
There might some polymer that comes out as well. Put that in the bag too and blow into it to puff it up. Then seal it.
Shake the bag vigorously. This will remove the polymer that is a part of the stuffing material. All of it will collect at the bottom of the bag.
Open the bag and take out the stuffing, keeping the polymer as is. Put it all in the plastic cup.
Add water to the cup until it’s full and mix it all together until it starts thickening.
A gel sort of substance will be formed which is nearly solid. Turning the cup upside down will not make it fall either. Remove it from the cup and play around with it.
Once done, put the gel back in the cup and press it with your fingers. Add some salt to it and stir it together. It will suddenly not be solid anymore and you can pour away the mixture in the drain.
7. Bringing Science for Breakfast by Including Magnets in the Menu
Try serving some cereal along with magnets for breakfast and your kids will wonder what that’s all about.
What You Will Need
Any cereal that is fortified with iron
A plastic cup
Ziploc mag
A strong magnet
A plate
Water
Instructions
Pour some pieces of cereal on to the breakfast plate and crush them together. Spread them all around so that they form a nice layer.
Now hold the magnet in your hand and hover it over the pieces. Do not touch them. If while hovering any piece moves, there’s a chance it has iron in it.
Now press the magnet directly onto the cereal and then lift it up. A few pieces will fall off, and some others will remain to stick to it. It could be static electricity making them hang as well.
Clean the magnet and the plate. Now pour some water on the plate and then add a few flakes of the cereal to it, so that they float. Just as before, hover the magnet over it and watch if any flake tends to swim across in a direction, or even spin around in its place.
Now take a cup of cereal and put it in the Ziploc bag. Fill the bag with warm water till it half full and seal it up, leaving some air inside.
Squeeze and crush the bag to mix all the contents together in a brown soapy substance. Let it sit for about half an hour.
Now hold the magnet in one hand and the bag in another. Bring the magnet very close to the bag and then switch sides from up to down. Move the bag occasionally to create movement inside.
With enough moving and alternating of the position, small black coloured dot like specks will be sticking on the inside surface of the bag. This is the cereal’s iron.
8. These Eggs will Not Break Even When You Walk on Them
The brittleness of eggs can be put to test with this simple and exciting science project
What You Will Need
A bunch of egg cartons with eggs
Large plastic bags
Disinfectants
Bucket
Soap
Water
Instructions
While doing this project, some eggs are bound to break until you get it right. So it is important to lay down plastic bags on the floor and make sure you clean up once you’re done to avoid any infection as well.
Place the cartons of eggs in two rows. Check them properly to see if any eggs are already broken and replace them. All eggs should have the round side of their facing upwards. This provides a good amount of surface on which you can place your feet.
The best way to do this is barefoot. Take someone’s support to gently place your first foot on the egg carton. Ensure you don’t put a lot of weight in a single area. Distribute it over as many eggs as possible.
Once one foot has found its place, gently try keeping the other foot by shifting all the weight on the foot that’s already down there. While you do this, some sounds might make you feel as if the eggs are going to crack, but don’t worry.
With both legs firmly on the eggs, you are good to begin. Repeat the same process to walk across the row of cartons without breaking any eggs.
9. Water That Never Spills
Surprise everyone by holding a glass of water upside down and no water falls out.
What You Will Need
A glass
A card about 6x6 in size
Water
Instructions
Fill the glass with water. Let it fill beyond the brim so that it spills over.
Then place the card over the glass. Press it firmly against the brim of the glass such that it holds the outer brim, and forms a proper seal.
Now, hold the glass over a sink and hold the card with your other hand. Turn the glass upside down and slowly remove your hand. The card will stay in place and hold the water inside the glass itself.
The air pressure of the card against the glass due to its sealing counteracts the force of gravity, keeping the water inside the glass.
10. Tornado in a Bottle
Tornados help children understand how air currents work in the real weather phenomena
What You Will Need
A transparent jar
Dish-washing soap
Food colour
Vinegar
Water
Instructions
Add water, food colour, vinegar, and dish-soap drops to the jar and mix it all together. Shake it vigorously to do so.
Once mixed, twist the bottle such that the water inside starts spinning.
A mini whirlpool or tornado will form inside which will show how the currents converge towards the vortex.
Learning does not have to be restricted to books and classrooms. With a variety of school science project for kids, they can all understand the basic principles of each aspect of science in a simpler manner and make it a fun-filled activity where their friends can join in as well.

Useful Tips for 5 Months Old Baby Care
Until your baby grows up to be an adult, he is going to need all the care he can get. Taking care of 20 weeks old baby might be comparatively easier than taking care of a newborn child. However, there might be certain times when things might seem formidable. With a few tips in mind, you can make sure these times can fly away as quickly as they arrive.
How to Take Care of Your 5 Month Old Baby?
Taking care of your little one can be daunting. Here are a few steps to make it easier.
1. Understanding Their Feeding and Sleeping Demands is Half the Battle Won
Around this age, your baby wants to emulate you in many ways. Watching you eat with a spoon would make him want to try that out too. You might be tempted to start solids but this is not the right age to do so. Giving a little formula milk with spoon might make him feel better. Your baby will usually be able to tell you when he’s hungry. So if you have been enforcing a strict breastfeeding schedule, you can gradually start moving away from it and feed him when he asks for it. If your baby is on formula, make sure the quantity is of the right amount and increases and decreases based on recommendations for his age.
Most mothers are used to letting their babies sleep while they breastfeed. By this age, it is good to separate both the cycles so he understands feeding times and sleeping times are different. Also, this is the age when your baby might learn to roll over. This poses another challenge since ensuring that he sleeps flat on his back is another obstacle to be overcome. You could either use pillows or just not use blankets at all and let him roll around.
2. Taking Preventive Measures Instead of Reactive Measures for Their Health
Keeping your baby healthy is always necessary and vaccination is the best way to ensure that. Immunization schedule, when followed to the letter, takes care of a ton of things right away. In case you haven’t finished the vaccines for your baby’s prior month, talk to your doctor to schedule them as soon as possible. There are specific vaccines that a mother might need to take as well.
It is good to keep the home clean and hygienic but do not overdo it. The presence of a little dirt and dust can actually help build up the immunity in your baby.
3. Your Home Needs to Be the Safest Place for Your Baby
Your baby’s curiosity should not get the better of him as he starts to explore the surroundings or crawl around the home. Baby-proofing should be done right when you know that your little one will not restrict himself to his crib. Child-protection on electrical sockets, placing hazardous chemicals on higher shelves, and so on should be taken care of. This should be an important one in your list of 5-month baby care tips.
4. Let Your Baby Start Sitting Up with Some Help
Around this age, your baby will generally be able to hold his neck pretty well. This can then be a good time to teach him to start sitting up.
Give his back enough support as he sits straight and makes use of pillows to let him be so for a longer time. Do this on the bed or on the floor with a soft mat, so that even if he does get excited and fall on his side, it won’t hurt him.
5. Introduce the Bottle’s Other Best Friend, the Cup
Just the way your baby will want to try out the spoon, another thing you can bring in his presence is a cup. This will allow him to start holding objects on his own, although he won’t be successful right away. Drinking a little water or milk from the cup will make him feel happy and a sense of achievement dawns upon him. If he’s not immediately ready for it, leave the cup around with him and let him play with it. Gradually, the comfort level will increase and he will want to try again.
6. Play with Your Little One
Your child is beginning to realize different aspects of you. Let him get to know you better as you play different games together. Keeping him entertained and making those funny faces that he loves the most is a great way to get him all happy. Start introducing colours and animals even if they just might be interesting pictures for now. His brain is taking it all in and processing it on its own accord.
Taking care of a five months old baby is not an easy task but it also isn’t as daunting as it seems. As your baby starts to get independent, you too can start building up a bond with him. Keep the communication going strong and talk to him every day. Before you know it, your little one will be sitting straight, walking around, and saying his first words to everyone’s delight.

Say Goodbye to Winter Skin Woes with These Perfect Homemade Face Masks
Skin tends to become moody during winter. No doubt the chilly winds bring a rosy glow to the cheeks, but they also make the skin look pale and lifeless. If you’re longing for a nice glow on your face this winter, then know it for a fact that skin treatments, moisturisers, and lotions are not going to fix this for you. Your skin needs a kiss of organic goodness! Which is why we’ve chalked out a few homemade face mask recipes that help your skin regain its natural glow.
Homemade Face Mask Recipes That Are Perfect for Winter
Treat your skin this winter with these face mask recipes that are perfect for all skin types. These natural ingredients will go a long way in preserving your natural glow and will also keep your skin soft and well-nourished.
1. Papaya & Banana Face Mask
Antioxidant-rich papayas & vitamin-rich bananas form an excellent mask for the skin. Add a hint of honey to these two, and your skin will thank you this winter. Honey is a natural skin moisturiser that rejuvenates the skin. Simply mash these fruits & ensure that the lumps remain. Mix them with a teaspoon of honey and scrub it on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Using your fingers, massage your skin and let it dry. Wash it off your face, and you’ll be left with glowing skin that looks firm and younger.
2. Aloe Vera & Coconut Oil Face Mask
Both aloe vera & coconut oil soothe dry and itchy skin, keeping it nice and hydrated throughout the day. This natural face mask works as a cooling agent and will come handy when you feel skin irritation during winter. For this, take some virgin coconut oil and extract the pulp from home-grown aloe vera. Mix these two and apply it on your face. Keep it for some time and wipe your face with a clean, wet towel.
3. Avocado & Honey Face Mask
Avocado is as good on the face as it is on the plate, and the benefits of honey are countless. If you’re looking to treat dry and flaky skin, then half an avocado and two teaspoons of honey will do the job for you. Make a coarse mixture of these two and scrub your face with it for at least 10 minutes. Let it stay on for at least half an hour and then rinse. Both of these ingredients contain humectants, which are used to reduce the loss of moisture from the skin. Honey being a great moisturiser keeps your skin well-nourished and younger-looking.
4. Lemon & Honey Face Mask
Loaded with vitamin C & anti-inflammatory properties, lemon works wonders in healing itchy & irritated skin, the kind your skin turns into during winters. Mix some honey with lemon juice and evenly spread it on your face. Don’t apply it around your eye area. Leave it for 10 minutes and then rinse your face thoroughly. After cleaning your face, make sure you use a light skin moisturiser so that your skin stays well-hydrated. This lemon & honey face mask keeps the skin glowing and healthy. It’s the ideal face mask for women with dry skin.
5. Strawberry & Banana Face Mask
This homemade face mask is ideal for women suffering from too many zits. All you have to do is mash half a banana & a handful of strawberries to make a smooth paste. Apply it on your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Bananas are excellent skin moisturisers, and the berries help fight oily skin. Rich in vitamin C, these fruits help lighten the skin and give it a natural glow. Even though this mask works wonders for women with oily skin, those with dry skin can add some yoghurt to it for excellent results.
6. Gram Flour & Yoghurt Face Mask
You can call this the desi face mask recipe because Indian dadis & nanis have been recommending it for years. Make a creamy paste using gram flour, yoghurt, and turmeric, and apply it on your face using your fingers. Wait for it to dry out entirely till you feel it cracking on your skin. Then, wet your palms with lukewarm water and gently scrape it off your face. When done, rinse your face with cold water so that the pores close. Yoghurt is an excellent face moisturiser, especially for women with dry skin, and turmeric works wonders in fighting acne and other skin problems. It’s also a natural skin brightener that helps keep dirt and other germs at bay. In case of oily skin, skip the yoghurt and blend gram flour and turmeric with drinking water
7. Almond & Milk Face Mask
This is the ideal face mask for women with dry skin. All you need is almond powder & raw milk. For the perfect consistency mix 1 part of almond powder with 2 parts of milk, and make a thick paste. Apply it on your face & massage gently using your fingers. Keep it for 10 minutes. Then, use lukewarm water to rinse your face and pat it dry. Rich in vitamin E, almonds make an excellent skin moisturiser. Milk has properties that nourish the skin, keeping it soft and supple. Women who are allergic to dairy products can use pure almond milk instead.
The weather outside is dry, but your skin need not be! Go ahead and try out every recipe mentioned above, because the chilly winds are here to stay for the next few months.

Understanding the temperament of your newborn
Having a newborn around can be a mixed bag of emotions. As parents, you must be ecstatic to have your bundle of joy in your arms, but understanding his needs by just guessing may appear to be a difficult task.
The emotional crisis of a parent is similar to the crisis of a newborn who is trying to adapt to the new world. Parenthood brings in a series of worries and assumptions along with the joy. If you are a new mom or dad, you must be struggling to catch up with your baby’s temperament and behaviour.
It might come as a surprise to you, but newborns have an attitude as well, and you are supposed to tackle it with all the tenderness you have. Initially, it can be challenging and somewhat frustrating. However as time passes by, the temper of your baby would no longer be unfamiliar to you and will start making sense.
Ways to understand your newborn
If you observe deeply, the temperament of your baby is quite simple and basic. He shows his temper out of basic instincts. For example, the little one is likely to cry or show irritation when he has wetted the bed.
The best gesture or medium of communication is crying for all newborns as they cannot talk at this tender age. Thus, they convey most of their demands by crying. You may become nervous in the beginning, but within a week or so, you will get familiar with his crying. Believe it or not, each crying is unique if you watch a little closely and has a different reason behind it.
He will cry when he is sleepy, hungry, or feeling any kind of discomfort. With little patience and persistence, you can easily cope up with the temperament of the young one as you will start understanding the cause of weeping and comforting your newborn.
Notice when he is most active during the day and accordingly, interact with him during those hours. This will help you to bond in a better manner with your newborn.
If you are a second-time parent, then understanding your baby’s temperament becomes easier for you. However, if you are a first-time parent, you need to give it some time. It is all about bonding, which you will grow with time and experience.
Your pediatrician will surely help you when you are unable to understand any behaviour that seems unlikely. For this, you should constantly be in touch with your baby’s doctor during the first couple of months.
It is also important to understand that each baby is unique. Thus, each of them is sure to act in a different way. For example, behaviour of a premature baby is quite different from other normal babies. So be positive, and enjoy your parenthood with a full heart. Read more

My journey from pregnancy to parenting with my family support
I'm 28 years old.I'm a doctor, doing my postgraduation.currently in final year.I was married 2 years back ,when I was in PG 1st year.Luckily my in-laws are settled in the same city where my parents stay,so it was easy for me to shift to the in-laws house & continue my graduation without any break.But unfortunately my husband was away from me for the first year after marriage as he was pursuing Masters MS in another place.He hardly had leaves that he could not stay atleast one day at our home.But managed to have valuable time once in a while .As we both belong to the medical profession ,we understand each other & respect each other.To my surprise I got pregnant right after my first year exams.
We were so happy at the same time shocked,as I was having irregular periods after my marriage,I was not prepared for pregnancy but we felt it was a gods gift. I had a tough time little bit challenging to manage my studies,attending the cases in hospital,doing assignments,research work etc.I use to drive car 16 km each day from my work place to back home while I'm pregnant.Luckily I was fit & healthy ,safe & had huge family support,especially my mom & my mother in law through out my pregnancy.I was working in hospital even a week before my EDD.I was strong enough to overcome all these challenges as my strength is my husband, he gave me the moral support he is my backbone he is so loving ,caring,responsible,gentle man.Even his physical presence was not there with me,I never felt alone as his voice moved me everyday, his words were so inspiring
Fortunately he completed his MS and returned to our home when I was 7months pregnant,accompanied me everyday whenever I'm out whether its for college or shopping or checkups etc.For some medical issue I had a c- section and struggled with spinal headache for few days.My husband care towards me & my baby girl was speechless till today.Unfortunately I hardly had only one month maternity leave,I was back to my work.First 3 months was a nightmare as I was not having adequate sleep,I use to nurse my baby ,travel back & forth 4-5 times each day from work place to my home.I want to be assured that my little baby won't miss me even though I'm working mother.Now she is 5 months old. I feel very sad at times to leave her & attend my duty.I can understand women especially working mothers who are going through the physical as well as mental strain.But at the end of the day,its pleasure to see the smiles on our babies face.They are little angels on earth😇 Read more
