11 tips can help you to start your baby's First Food!!!
Congratulations!!! You along with your baby🤱 achieved the first milestone successfully!!
Now it's the weaning time for the baby!!! You need to start other supplementary food along with breastfeeding.But breastfeeding is just as important. Being a mother for the first time makes us curious about everything. And the people around you have too many answers for each of our doubts. This makes us more confused.All of you may have the same experience in the last six months. But now you know your baby quite well. You may have been set the routine for your baby by now. If not, do that at first because it can easily handle the two most important things, baby's sleep and appetite. It's the key factor for growing a healthy baby!!
Here are some of the tips I found to be helpful in starting a baby's solid food after the 6th month. I hope it will help mommies to clear many doubts🙂
1. The baby still gets hungry every two hours so mother's milk and supplementary food can be given alternately.
2. Considering the fact that each baby has its own digestion capacity, health issues and other physical factors, create a diet chart that is best suitable for your baby.
3.Start with 2 or 3 spoonfuls of soft foods at 6th month.
4. When you are trying any food for the first time for your baby, feed it in small quantities. Make sure the food is easily digested by the baby. If you observe any rash or red patches or any other notable changes in baby's skin or loose motion after introducing new food. consult a pediatrician.If not then you can include those foods in the diet.
5. Give any food in liquid form and soft as the baby has not got teeth yet. Fruits like apples, pears should be boiled and pureed. Vegetables like spinach,carrot can be cooked and made into soup. You can give boiled and smashed potato.
6. Start giving water to your baby from the 6th month. At the start give 2 - 3 tablespoons slowly after every meal. Then increase the quantity gradually as per baby's need. Water must be boiled and cooled down. If it's winter ,give warm water.
7. Different types of porridge are good food for babies after the 6th month.Also it's an easy and quick recipe. You can use Jaggery instead of sugar for sweet taste.
8.In porridge , add almond and cardamom powders that taste better and dry fruits help in weight gain of the baby .
9. You can add a teaspoon of home made pure ghee in every meal.
10. Now a days the baby is usually feeded with a silver bowl and a spoon. When the food is ready, take it out of the bowl and keep it till it becomes warm. This will give the benefits of silver to the baby.
11. Last but not least is maintaining proper hygiene while feeding the baby. Wash your hands properly before making food and feeding the baby. Sterilize baby's utensils and keep them separate from other utensils. Prefer steel utensils for babies.

Getting your Preschooler a Tablet? Think Twice!
Children today are far advanced beyond their years. It comes as no surprise anymore when we see preschoolers using tablets. However, before you can get your toddler that tablet there are a few things you might want to consider.
It’s the coolest toy your toddler has ever seen and it buys you valuable time when you need to get things done without your baby getting in the way. Better still the tablet also serves as a learning tool in the hands of your little one. But is the gadget healthy for your child and will it turn out to be a boon or a curse? If you're one of those mothers wondering what to do, here are some suggestions when you're buying tablets for preschoolers that'll help you make up your mind.
The Pros and Cons of Tablets for Preschoolers
1. The Advantages of The Gadget
Tablets for preschoolers are a fun way to engage your toddler and add to his or her cognitive development. It sure beats carrying around your baby’s toys and toddler books. But how much use of tablets is good for preschoolers? The idea should be to moderate the usage of the tab; it isn't such a bad thing when used in moderation. We must remember that a tablet comes with its educational benefits and fosters creativity in those young minds.
2. Designate a Time
While the tablet is a great educational toy, it's not the best alternative to toys, books, games and physical and social activities. Your child cannot get from an app what they can from playing with their toys, turning the pages of a picture book, or playing a game of Frisbee with you. Designating a time for your child to play with a tablet is a wiser choice.
3. Will it Help in the Long Run?
Tablets don't really have what it takes to develop your child’s motor skills or their logical thinking ability as they would from stacking building blocks or working on puzzles. Being glued to a tablet can only make them miss out on those formative years, outdoor playtime and they do not learn things in real time.
4. The Sound of Your Voice
Your child needs to hear the sound of your own voice instead of those on the tab. Don’t get too taken in with the free time you gain by allowing your little one to form a bond with the tablet instead of you. Too much screen time can strain the eyes. Finally, before you can spend those big bucks, ask yourself this question- should preschoolers use tablets before they even know what it is? Once you know the answer, taking a decision would be easy.
In this ongoing debate, the cons always seem to outweigh the pros of getting tablets for preschoolers. Exposing your child to the real world will ensure a healthy development of their mental and physical abilities and provide a rich experience in their social interactions with people around them. However, if you can strike a balance between their natural world and the digital world, a tablet might not be all that bad after all! Read more

BabyHug 2 In 1 Bottle & Nipple Cleaning Brush Review
As we all going through this pandemic situation.it is important to maintain hygiene and cleanliness.esspecially with the kids nursing things.Maintaining hygiene and keeping the feeding bottles clean and sterilising is very important. As,
if the bottles are not cleaned properly or sterilised properly it might lead to infection. So I was looking for a bottle cleaning brush which is so soft and thick and I wanted the bottle cleaning and the nipple brush in 1 fit.
I found this 2 in 1 baby hug cleaning brush which is very helpful and easy to use. We can clean most of the bottles in different sizes with this brush due to it’s design.I also liked the rubber grip to lock the brush onto any surface/wall
near the sink and clean the bottle easily with single hand. The nipple cleaning brush is soft and same cleaning procedure. The brush gets dry easily as you can lock brush to any surface.
The brush is soft and the brush thickness is good. As it locks the bottle and cleaning is easy. The rubber grip at the bottom is a good feature which locks the brush onto any surface. And the quality of the brush is good. The sponge at
the tip Of the brush is soft and thick. The bristel quality is good. As after washing, the bristle are not falling off.The handle is flexible and because of that it is easy to clean and bend and twist.Also after washing we can stick
this brush up right down or sidewise onto any surface. So that the water will sink down and brush gets dried easily. So we don’t have to hang on to some hook. The brush won’t get touched to any of the surface because of the rubber
holder on the bottom.
It would have been little longer, as this won’t reach to the bottom of the bigger feeding/water bottles.

A. It doesn’t mean anything because that means there is no clarity in the picture as of now you have to have to take a blood test to have better clarity on this because the tests are basically more confusing as of now so it’s better to check with a proper blood test

Q. #asktheexpert
what does it mean if a faint line was followed by negative line?
Rashmi

A. Saint Line usually means positive only but for further more if you want to go ahead with a clarity on that then you can get a beta HCG on an ultrasound with your doctor because one line is usually visible and second is faint right so it is positive
