Is Watching TV while Eating Harming You and Your Kids?
Eating in front of the television is common these days, as is checking phones, watching laptops and other screens. While most of us don’t really think twice about it, and some even claim that it has its advantages, watching TV while eating is a bad habit that does more harm than good.
Why is Eating in front of the TV a Bad Idea?
If you and your family included screentime in your mealtime, here are some side effects of watching TV while eating
1. Causes Overeating and Obesity
Studies have shown that we tend to eat more while watching TV as we have not been paying attention to how much we are eating. Eating too much will eventually lead to obesity.
2. Distraction
When eating food and watching TV, the brain is distracted and sends out the wrong signals to the body and does not process the taste or satisfaction of the palette.
3. Unhealthy Eating Habits
Unhealthy eating becomes a habit while watching television as you are unable to appreciate the food you eat if you are concentrating on the TV.
4. Lower Metabolism
Watching TV while eating lowers the metabolic rate leading to the food being digested slower and the fat being burned slowly.
5. Indigestion
Eating while watching TV and digestion are linked as you are unable to process how much and what you are eating. This, in turn, will lead to problems with digestion as your body is unable to properly digest the amount or the kind of food being eaten.
6. No Satisfaction
When your mind needs to concentrate on two things at once, it is unable to enjoy either of them properly.
7. No Family Interaction
If everyone is more interested in watching TV while eating, the conversation that families usually enjoy during meals will not take place, and there will be even less time for family bonding in this busy time and age.
Is Your Kid Only Eating while Watching TV?
Children who are fussy eaters may be able to be fed better while watching something. The distraction makes it easier for parents to get them to eat. Unfortunately, this can form a habit, and your child may not want to eat without watching something. Children can be weaned off this habit, and while they may fuss and throw tantrums at first, they will eventually learn to eat without watching TV.
Tips to Keep Your Kids Away from the TV while Eating
Here are some tips on how to stop your toddler from watching TV while eating.
While weaning your child from a TV, make sure that you are not distracted by the TV, mobile or laptop. Give them your complete attention so that they know that mealtimes are for food only.
If your child already has the habit and you want to wean them off it, you will need to make sure that your child is hungry, but not starving at mealtimes. This means that you need to ensure that you do not allow their snack times to be too close to their meal times. If your child is comfortably hungry, he will not be that bothered about whether he has the TV in front of him or not.
Start weaning with foods that he or she likes. This way it becomes easier for them to eat their food, even if their favourite TV show is not playing.
Start with smaller mealtimes. You can start by having a five-minute mealtime without TV, and then you can end mealtime. If they have been fussing and did not eat enough during their mealtime, you can always give them a snack again later, but make sure that it is not done in front of the TV. This will help break the association that children have formed with eating and TV.
Ensure that the whole family eats meals without including the television otherwise, it won’t matter if you are trying to form good habits in your child. Children will observe the habits of their parents and will follow in their behaviour.
If your child still refuses to eat without the TV, you can consult a therapist or professional for help.
At first, it might seem difficult to get your child to stop eating while watching TV, so the best thing to do is not to form this habit at all. Remember that these days, our lives are very busy and sometimes mealtimes as a family are the only times that a family gets to really bond with each other and share how their days were. Keep mealtimes as family time and enjoy the meal that you have spent a lot of time preparing, but most of all, enjoy each other’s company.

Investment in Your Child's Future - Mutual Fund SIP for Your Little One
Hi parents!!
I am the father of a princess who's 1 year 1 month old. Just a few months ago I was just calculating the number of useless expenses which I had been doing. Sometimes buying an iPhone, or the latest watch, etc.
To my surprise when I did a calculation of all the expenses since I started earning, it was more than 5-7 lakhs in 5 yrs.
The expense of nurturing the baby could be challenging and so I urge all the parents to take this step of investing in a children mutual fund by the means of SIP.
1) I have taken a "Children's Mutual Fund" and have been putting Rs 10,000/- every month as SIP.
You can invest the funds as per your affordability.
I have sworn never to touch this fund until my daughter is atleast 18 years old.
Considering a min rate of interest as 13% which this fund will give me. The returns when she'll turn 18 years old will be 86 lakhs.
Yes with just an investment of around 21 lakhs over 18 years, you will get 86 lakhs in return.
That's the power of compounding interest.
2) There is also another beautiful investment scheme by the Government and it is called "Sukanya Scheme". But its only for girl children.
This gives an average return rate of around 9% and you can put a maximum of 1 lakh per year.
The best part is you can even get a tax benefit if you invest in this scheme.
The only downside( or you can say upside) is that you cannot withdraw the amount from this account till the girl is 18 years old.
Also, the amount can be redeemed only for her education or marriage expenses pre-maturity.
I don't have much information on Sukanya scheme as i have just opened it for namesake, however, you can Google it if you want more details on it.
Start today for the future of your little one.

८ महिन्यांच्या बाळासाठी अन्नपदार्थांचे विविध पर्याय
तुमचा ८ महिन्याचं बाळ म्हणजे अगदी वाढीच्या सुंदर टप्प्यावर असते. नुकत्याच लुकलुकणाऱ्या एक दोन दातांचं हे बाळ लवकरच पाऊल टाकायला लागणार असतं. ८ महिन्यांच्या वयाच्या बाळाला आता मऊ अन्न गिळण्याची कला अवगत झालेली असते. आणि घन पदार्थ खाण्यास सुद्धा सुरुवात झालेली असते.
जे पोषक अन्न बाळाला नीट चावता येईल ते अन्न ८ महिन्यांच्या बाळाची पोषणाची गरज भागवण्यास पुरेसे असते.
८ महिन्यांच्या बाळासाठी उत्तम अन्नपदार्थ
कर्बोदके, प्रथिने, व्हिटॅमिन्स, आणि खनिजे ह्या सगळ्यांचा समावेश असलेला आहार म्हणजे ८ महिन्यांच्या बाळासाठी योग्य आहार असतो. असे अनेक नैसर्गिक अन्नपदार्थ आहेत ज्यामध्ये वरील सर्व पोषणमूल्यांचा योग्य समावेश असतो. साधारणतः ८ महिन्यांच्या बाळामध्ये खालील एक किंवा दोन पोषणमूल्यांचा समावेश असतो.
१. फळे
फळे व्हिटॅमिन्स, खनिजे आणि इतर पोषणमूल्यांचा उत्तम स्रोत आहे. नेहमीच्या फळांव्यतिरिक्त जसे की केळं, पपई, चिकू वगैरे. तुम्ही किवी, स्ट्रॉबेरी, डाळिंब अशा फळांचा सुद्धा समावेश करू शकता. फळं चौकोनाच्या आकारात कापून दिल्यास ते बाळासाठी उत्तम फिंगर फूड होईल.
२. भाज्या
८ व्या महिन्यात तुमच्या बाळाने कुस्करलेला बटाटा गिळण्यापासून ते उकडलेल्या भाज्यांचे तुकडे चावून खाण्याइतपत प्रवास केलेला असतो. वेगवेगळ्या भाज्यांचा समावेश बाळाच्या आहारात केला जाऊ शकतो. कधी खिचडीत घालून किंवा कधी त्या नुसत्या उकडून दिल्या जाऊ शकतात. फ्लॉवर, ब्रोकोली, मटार , भोपळा ह्या भाज्यांचा हळूहळू आहारात समावेश करू शकता.
३. मासे
मासे म्हणजे एक पोषक अन्न आहे, आणि ८ महिन्यांच्या बाळाला तुम्ही ते देऊ शकता. बाळाच्या मेंदू च्या विकासासाठी ओमेगा ३ फॅटी ऍसिड्स असलेले मासे जसे की टुना, साल्मोन, रोहू तुम्ही बाळाला देऊ शकता. माशाचे सूप किंवा प्युरी करून तुम्ही बाळाला देऊ शकता.
४. टोफू/ पनीर
टोफू किंवा पनीर हे सोया दूध किंवा गायीच्या दुधापासून बनवलेलं असते. त्यामध्ये भरपूर प्रमाणात प्रथिने असतात आणि ह्या वाढीच्या वयाच्या बाळांसाठी ते चांगले असते. ज्या बाळांना लॅक्टोस इंटॉलरन्स मुळे पनीर ची ऍलर्जी असते अशा बाळांना त्याऐवजी टोफू देऊ शकता.
५. चिकन
चिकन हे बाळासाठी एक पोषक आहार आहे. साधारणपणे ७ महिने आणि त्यापेक्षा जास्त वयाच्या बाळांना तुम्ही सूप किंवा प्युरी च्या स्वरूपात चिकन देऊ शकता. चिकन शिजवलेलं पाणी सुद्धा बाळांसाठी खूप पोषक असते.
६. चीझ
पाश्चरायझेशन केलेल्या दुधापासून बनवलेले चीझ वाढत्या बाळांसाठी कॅल्शिअम चा एक उत्तम स्रोत आहे. प्रक्रिया केलेले चीझ जे बाजारात मिळते ते बाळासाठी एक उत्तम स्नॅक आहे.
७. अंडे
अंडे हे एक परिपूर्ण अन्न आहे ज्यामध्ये चांगली चरबी आणि आरोग्यपूर्ण प्रथिने असतात. नाश्त्याच्या वेळेला बाळाला उकडलेले अंड्याचे एका घासात मावतील असे छोटे छोटे तुकडे करून देऊ शकता. काही बाळांना अंड्याची ऍलर्जी असते आणि त्यामुळे तुम्ही त्याबद्दलच्या लक्षणांवर बारीक लक्ष ठेवलं पाहिजे.
८. दही
गायीच्या दुधापासून बनवलेले घट्ट दही विशेषतः उन्हाळ्यात बाळाला देऊ शकता. बाजारात सध्या फळांचा स्वाद असलेलं दही मिळते, जे तुम्ही नाश्त्याच्या वेळेला बाळाला देऊ शकता. दह्यामुळे पोटाला चांगले जिवाणू मिळतात तसेच ते व्हिटॅमिन्स आणि खनिजांचा उत्तम स्रोत आहे.
वयाच्या ह्या टप्प्यावर बाळाने किती खाल्ले पाहिजे?
८ महिन्यांची बाळे सामान्यतः व्यवस्थित खातात पण हालचाल वाढल्यामुळे खाण्यापासून थोडे विचलीत होतात. काही बाळे नुकतीच रांगायला शिकलेली असतात आणि मग आजूबाजूच्या गोष्टी बघता बघता रांगात असतानाच त्यांना खायला आवडते. ८ महिन्याचे बाळ सामान्यपणे दिवसातून ३ वेळा घन पदार्थ, २ वेळा स्नॅक्स आणि कमीत कमी दोन वेळा स्तनपान किंवा फॉर्मुला दूध घेतात.

बाळाला भरवतानाच्या काही टिप्स
स्तनपान किंवा फॉर्मुला दूध हे ८ महिन्यांच्या बाळासाठी सुद्धा प्राथमिक अन्न आहे. घन पदार्थांव्यतिरिक्त बाळ एक वर्षांचे होईपर्यंत डॉक्टर्स दिवसातून २-३ वेळा बाळाला स्तनपान देण्यास सांगतात.
बाळ एक वर्षांचे होईपर्यंत बाळाला गाईचे दूध देण्याचे टाळा.
जर कुठल्याही पदार्थाची आपल्या कुटुंबात ऍलर्जी असेल तर विशेषतः दुग्धजन्य पदार्थ, अंडी, सुकामेवा वगैरे. धोक्याच्या लक्षणांवर लक्ष ठेवा. तसेच तुमच्या बाळामध्ये ह्या ऍलर्जी आल्या आहेत का ह्याची तुमच्या डॉक्टरांशी चर्चा करा.
तळलेले पदार्थ टाळा आणि उकडलेल्या भाज्या आणि फळे यांचा समावेश करा.
बाळाला भरवण्याची जागा एकच ठेवा. त्यांच्या मनामध्ये अन्न आणि त्या जागेविषयी बंध निर्माण होतात.
अन्न खूपच जास्त मऊ करू नका थोडे सरसरीत राहूद्या. त्यामुळे तुमच्या ८ महिन्यांच्या बाळाला मऊ अन्न खाण्यापासून जेवणापर्यंतचे संक्रमण सोपे जाईल.
१ वर्षांपर्यंतच्या बाळांना मीठ आणि साखरेच्या व्यसनापासून दूर ठेवा. बरेच डॉक्टर्स ह्या दोन्ही गोष्टींपासून बाळास दूर ठेवण्याचा सल्ला देतात. तसेच थोड्या अंतराने बाळाला थोडे थोडे भरवत रहा.
फिंगर फूड बाळाच्या घशात अडकण्याची शक्यता असते. कधी कधी बाळ मोठा तुकडा तोंडात घालते. त्यामुळे घन पदार्थांची सुरुवात केल्यावर बाळ तोंडात काय घालते ह्यावर लक्ष ठेवणे अतिशय महत्वाचे आहे.
तयार केलेले बाळाचे अन्नपदार्थ स्टील किंवा काचेच्या भांड्यात काढून ठेवा. प्लॅस्टिक ची भांडी वापरणे टाळा कारण त्यामध्ये हानिकारक पदार्थ असू शकतात आणि ते अन्नामध्ये मिसळण्याची शक्यता असते.
८ महिन्याच्या वयात बाळाची हालचाल वाढते आणि त्यामुळे बाळाला खूप ऊर्जा लागते. त्यामुळे त्यांच्या वाढलेल्या शारीरिक आणि मानसिक क्रियांसाठी आरोग्यपूर्ण आहार महत्वाचा आहे. त्यामुळे बाळाच्या आहाराचा तक्ता आधीच तयार करून ठेवल्यास तसेच ताज्या भाज्या आणि फळे यांचा त्यात समावेश केल्यास आपण त्याना चांगले पोषण देऊ शकतो.

Soy Allergy in Babies - Symptoms, Management and Safety Tips
For breastfeeding infants, soy allergy may not be immediately evident off the bat. As a child starts trying out different food items, any allergies that might exist begin to surface and can be diagnosed effectively. Giving soy to a child is definitely recommended since it provides a huge nutritional serving, but soy allergy is also a condition that one needs to be aware of.
Is Soy Safe as a Baby Food?
Before giving soy to your baby, it is important to understand whether it is safe to do so.
Derived from soybeans, soy contains numerous nutrients that are good for the child.
Giving soy milk to a lactose intolerant child is a great substitution.
Soy shouldn’t be given as a baby’s first food but can be introduced once he has other food items as well.
What Causes Soy Allergy in Babies?
Any allergy that a person suffers from is usually the reaction of the immune system of the body. The same condition exists for a soy allergy as well.
In this case, various proteins present in soy products may be misinterpreted by the body’s immune system as harmful substances. This causes a secretion of a specific kind of antibodies, called immunoglobulin E, or IgE. Therefore, any time when soy is ingested, these proteins are detected by the antibodies and the immune system reacts by sounding the danger alarm and releasing a flood of histamines in the bloodstream to combat the substances. These chemicals are the reason for allergic symptoms being visible in various forms, right from skin rashes to breathing problems, and many more.
At times, a food allergy can be delayed as well and trigger only when the allergen enters the intestine or the colon. The reaction, in this case, is not immediate but occurs after a few hours, and majorly results in stomach ache, diarrhoea and similar symptoms.
Symptoms of Soy Allergy in Infants
The signs of soy allergy in a baby are pretty evident. These need to be observed as early as possible in life so that the allergic condition can be diagnosed properly. Most of the symptoms are:
Eyes swell and start itching and watering
Reduction in blood pressure
A feeling of being lightheaded
Seeing red coloured spots
A repeated occurrence of wheezing
The existence of an oral allergy syndrome
Repeated vomiting
An anaphylactic attack
Various issues of the gastric system
The appearance of rhinitis due to the allergy
An onset of asthma
Presence of hives all over the body
Dizziness and a feeling of nausea
How to Manage Allergy Reactions
Making use of a special formula for babies with milk and soy allergies can help avoid any untoward incidents. However, if your child does face a severe reaction, it needs to be managed effectively without panicking.
It is always better to keep common anti-allergic medicines such as antihistamines or others to control any allergic attack.
Talk to a doctor to get epinephrine and understand the right way to use it.
Epinephrine injections are also available in a compact form that can be carried anywhere or even given in your child’s backpack.
At times, using an auto-injecting epinephrine might be necessary to be used by other caretakers who may not be aware of the proper techniques to handle allergies.
What to Do if Baby Attends a Nursery
For children that suffer from an allergy and spend their time at a nursery, extra care needs to be taken by informing the staff about the allergy as well as providing a plan of action in case your baby has a reaction.
Provide them with an emergency number to call upon should they spot any signs of a reaction.
Give them your own contact number or alternate numbers of other family members to reach out to immediately.
Keep an epinephrine injection with your child or the nursery and ask the staff to use it, if the child starts showing signs of swelling or breathing difficulties.
Safety Guidelines for When Your Baby is Diagnosed With Soy Allergy
When your baby is diagnosed with an allergy towards soy, there are ways to manage the reactions should they occur. However, prevention is a better alternative any time and there are a few guidelines you can adhere to, in order to keep your little one safe from certain foods.
When purchasing food items from the supermarket, check the label for the ingredients. Avoid items that mention any soy derivative on it.
Certain cuisines such as Asian foods make use of soy products liberally. Be extra careful when opting to go ahead with one.
Many bakeries have started using soy in mixtures of cakes, chips and even roasted nuts. Double check for any presence as such.
Keep away from sprouted soybean as well.
Some spice collections that contain mixed elements do have the possibility of including soy as well.
Be careful when choosing any kind of vegetable stock or canned food products like soup and others. They might contain soy in the ingredients.
Certain variants of margarine make use of a soy oil in their preparation.
Multiple dips, sauces, spreads, dressings for salads also make use of soy to accentuate their flavour.
Nowadays, there are varieties of biscuits, bread, and other desserts that use soy in their preparation, too.
Check with fast food joints and inquire if they make use of soy in any of their preservatives or cooking techniques, as well as items such as flour or cheese.
Figuring out any kind of dairy and soy intolerance in babies can be a messy affair because such conditions can be diagnosed only when they occur for the first time. Once the diagnosis is attained, it is quite easy to prevent any reactions from occurring again, as well as keep a contingency plan in place to treat its emergence.

A. hello dear this is not about which is better this is all about your body and the condition of the baby no doubt the normal procedure is the painful but side effect are not there but after C6 you have to be little more careful and you have to take more precaution but again I am saying that this is not about the better one this is about the condition of your pregnancy

A. It depends on moms and babys health I feel and suggest It's better to check with your doctor and follow their advise. That would be one of the best and safest option for your baby as of now. Take care.
