5 Simple and Innovative Ways to Keep Baby Memories Alive Forever
Welcoming a newborn is always full of happiness, excitement, but also anxiety and stress. But amidst all these fireworks of emotions, don't forget to capture the little one's performances in your head which is soon going to be a graveyard of brain cells. Well, that's exactly why you need to put these special moments in your memory bank and that's why you need a plan.
1. Make an Album
We all have tried to reach out for our phones to get that 'first' smile, 'first' laugh, 'first' tooth, 'first' time our baby crawled/walked/ran. Sometimes, we succeeded but a lot of times we missed the moment. I have been pretty lucky to get most of my baby's firsts but not so lucky with keeping mobiles. I have a history of two broken phones and one stolen and no backup of stuff. Well, to add, I am also very lazy to transfer photos to my laptop. If you are a parent like me, please take your favourite pics out of your mobile and place them inside a beautiful family album and don't forget to pen down on the backside of pics, the time the pic was taken.
2. Baby Record Book
This was a gift I got from my sister-in-law and it's one of my most treasured possessions. I filled most of the pages before my kid turned one. It's a beautiful way to jot down your feelings. Once you are done, just keep it safe and gift it to your baby when he turns older and mature. I can only imagine how my one toothed baby would feel reading what I have written when he gets facial hair and a full set of teeth.
3. Gift an Email Address
I wish I had done this earlier. I would have saved more pics like this. Make an email address in your baby's name and write letters, send pictures, and videos, tell them funny incidents of that day. This is the best way to save photos and also keep the stories of their childhood fresh. Gift them the password on their 16th birthday and make the day even more special.
4. Jewellery
I haven't done this yet but if I ever have a girl, I would love to do it for her. There are experts in jewellery making who incorporate whatever you give them like baby's hair at the time of birth or first fallen tooth or even breast milk, into beautiful pieces of jewellery that your kid can wear and treasure forever.
5. Plant a Tree
There is a village in Rajasthan called Piplantri that plants 111 trees whenever a girl is born. Isn't it to beautiful? Why not plant a tree and take care of it on your child's behalf? This is also a wonderful way to show your kids how to keep our planet healthy.There are many innovative ways of making memories. You can come up with your own. Do share with us your ways in the comments section!

How to Make Doctor Visits Easier for your Baby?
New parents often struggle to find a pediatrician they are comfortable with. Most importantly, their little one makes it difficult by making it a noisy affair. There are several factors that, if kept in mind, can make the doctor-baby relationship very pleasant.
Finding the Right Pediatrician
Most couples stress on finding the right gynecologist for your pregnancy; just as important is finding the right pediatrician. However, identifying the right person is not enough. It is imperative that you plan your visits to the doctor so as to not make the experience too traumatic for your little one.
7 Tips to Help Babies Overcome Fear of Doctors
1. Separate Doctors for Vaccination and Regular Illnesses
Many people recommend having one doctor for vaccinations and another for other health check-ups. Due to this the child does not mistake every check-up as having something to do with injections and begin crying as soon as she enters the dispensary.
2. Keep The Wait Brief
Do not make your child sit for too long in the waiting area. There could be two effects of this – one is she probably will hear the other children cry inside the consultation room while they are getting their shots and get scared. Secondly, sitting at the same place for too long can make her very restless, and she will be irritable even before you enter the consultation room. It may be best to get your token and then take her for a small stroll around so that she is still happy when you are going in for an appointment.
3. Carry Ample Ammunition for Distraction
Make sure you carry her favourite book or toy with you so as to distract her when she is about to be given a shot or weighed on the scale. Either process makes kids very upset. This will also give you the space to talk to the pediatrician, rather than only focussing on keeping the baby calm.
4. Distracting the Baby
Any pediatrician’s room will have enough colourful toys to keep babies engaged while the examination is being done, or injection administered. It is always better that one partner takes care of the baby while the other gets all doubts clarified by a doctor about your baby’s health.
5. Excitement at The End of The Visit
Plan to go out after the check-up, and create some excitement around that activity by talking about it to your baby, it could be a park, the zoo or her favourite place. This way you have something to distract her with when she is crying after the shot or the medicine being given.
6. Enlist Your Questions
In order to ensure you cover all your points, jot down the questions you have in mind for a week before the date of appointment. That way, you are sure not to miss out on anything even if your little one is getting restless or cranky.
7. Interaction with Other Kids
It is advisable to practice caution when you let your child interact with other children who are waiting in the clinic. The immunity of your baby is still developing, and she may pick up some virus from the other children or pass on hers to them.
It is advisable to begin thinking about and planning your doctor visits well in advance, so as to avoid any last-minute hurry. Baby check-ups can be a very tricky regular affair if not cracked in the initial few times. Read more

बच्चे गलतियाँ करके ही सीखते हैं, यह उनके बौद्धिक विकास में सहायक है
एक बार फिर हाजिर हूँ, इस शिक्षाप्रद कहानी के माध्यम से, आशा करती हूं , आप अवशय ही पसंद करेंगे।
राधिका अपने सारे कार्य करने के उपरांत अपनी बेटी रूबी जो तीसरी कक्षा में पढ़ती थी, उसकी हिन्दी की कॉपी की जांच कर रही थी तो उसने देखा कि रूबी ने ३-४ उत्तर गलत लिखें हैं। राधिका भी एक स्कूल में हिन्दी विषय की उच्च स्तरीय शिक्षिका के रूप में कार्यरत थी, सो जब उसको समय मिलता, वह अपना फर्ज समझकर अपनी बेटी की कॉपी की जांच अवश्य करती ।
रूबी अपना होमवर्क करके अपने खेलने में मस्त, इतने में राधिका ने बुलाया और पूछा बेटी ये उत्तर गलत क्यों लिखें हैं? रूबी बोली, मम्मी उस दिन मुझे बुखार था न, मैं स्कूल नहीं गई थी न, तो मैंने मेरी सहेली रितु की कॉपी से उतारे थे । रूबी अपनी मां का कहना मानने को तैयार ही नहीं थी। ज़िद पर अड गयी और कहने लगी हमारे स्कूल में शिक्षिका ने लिखवाया है और यह सही है । सबसे बड़ी बात यह कि उसकी कॉपी की चेकिंग भी स्कूल शिक्षिका के द्वारा की जा चुकी थी। फिर राधिका ने कुछ मन ही मन सोचा और कॉपी में एक नोट लिखा, व रूबी से बोली, कल कक्षा में अपनी शिक्षिका को नोट दिखाना।
दूसरे ही दिन रूबी दौडी-दौडी आई और मम्मी के गले लगकर बोली मम्मी तुम ही सही थी। हमारी शिक्षिका ने कहा कि मैंने जल्दी जल्दी में कॉपी की चेकिंग की थी, सो नहीं देख पायी । रूबी को उस दिन समझ में आ गया था कि हमेशा शिक्षिका भी सही नहीं होती और उनको इतने सारे बच्चों की कॉपी की चेकिंग करनी होती है तो उनसे भी गलती हो सकती है। उसने अपनी मां से माफी मांगते हुए कहा मम्मी अब मैं आगे से आपसे चेक करा लिया करूंगी, तभी शिक्षिका के पास कॉपी चेकिंग के लिए दूंगी।
तब राधिका ने सोचा कि यही सच है बच्चे हों या बड़े गलती तो सभी से होती है और गलती करके ही सही ज्ञान प्राप्त करने में सफल होते है । उस दिन से रूबी अपने माता-पिता के ऊपर भी विश्वास करने लगी और उसे यकीन हो गया कि माता-पिता अपने बच्चों को जन्म से ही सभी क्षेत्रों में सही ज्ञान देने की ही कोशिश करते हैं।
ऐसी ही कहानी सभी के साथ जन्म लेती होगी शायद सभी को बच्चों को ऐसे ही समझाना पड़ता होगा। कोई भी बच्चा जैसे जैसे बडा होता है, ठीक वैसे वैसे घर में हर चीज सीखने की कोशिश करता है तो उस समय घर में गुरु के रूप में माता-पिता द्वारा तथा शाला में शिक्षक-शिक्षिकाओं के द्वारा सही-गलत का ज्ञान दिया जाना अपेक्षित है एवं साथ ही साथ परिणाम भी समझाया जाना चाहिए ताकि बच्चे को पहले से ही समझ में आ जाए, वैसे भी आजकल बच्चे तेज तर्राट ही होते हैं तो उनके लिए यह आसन होगा, ऐसा मेरा मानना है।
वैसे तो बच्चों को खुलकर मस्ती भी बचपन में करने देना चाहिए क्योंकि बचपन में मस्ती नहीं करेंगे तो वे फिर बच्चे कैसे कहलाएंगे । घर में माता-पिता एकल परिवार में रहते हों या संयुक्त परिवार में, बच्चों के ऊपर जरूरत से ज्यादा रोक-टोक भी नहीं करना चाहिए, क्यो कि बच्चे ऐसे ही मस्ती में, खेल खिलाकर ही सीखते हैं।
जैसे कि हम कहते हैं कि जो काम करेगा , गलती भी उसीसे होगी, और गलती नहीं होगी तो वह फिर सीखेगा कैसे ? जो काम करेगा ही नहीं तो उससे गलती होगी ही नहीं। ऐसा ही कुछ छोटे बच्चों के साथ भी है।
मैं यहां मेरा किस्सा बताना चाहूंगी कि मेरा बेटा जब छोटा था और उसे नया-नया स्कूल में प्रवेश लिया ही था और बस फिर क्या था पेंसिल और कलम मिली, दिवार पर गोदना चालु हो गया । मैंने और पति ने बहुत समझाया पर नहीं समझा और हमने वह पांच साल का होने तक गोदा-गोदी करने दी। फिर जैसे -जैसे बड़ा हुआ, समझ आयी कि ऐसा नहीं करते और एक दिन खुद आकर बोला पापा पुताई करवा लो दीवार अच्छी नहीं लग रही। बस उस दिन हम समझ गए कि अब इसे समझ में आ गया है और फिर हमने पुताई-रंगाई कराई, उस दिन के बाद दोबारा ऐसी हरकत हमारे यहां हुई ही नहीं।
ऐसे ही आगे भी बच्चा जैसे-जैसे बड़ा होने लगता है वैसे-वैसे हर काम में उसे सही ग़लत का ज्ञान होने लगता है। किचन में भी मैंने अपने दोनों बच्चों को ऐसे ही समस्त कार्य करने के लिए प्रेरित किया और आज परिणाम यह है कि दोनों ही खाना अच्छा बना लेते हैं और साथ ही घर के अन्य कार्य भी कुशलता पूर्वक कर रहे हैं।
बच्चे हर काम हीगलतियाँ करके ही सीखते हैं और आगे बढ़ते हैं और वह काबिल इंसान बनने के लिए जरूरी भी है। आजकल का दौर ऐसा आ ही गया है कि शिक्षा प्रणाली के तहत बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा प्राप्त करने एवं नौकरी के लिए भी घर से बाहर जाने की आवश्यकता होती है तो वह सभी कार्य करने की कोशिश करेगा तभी तो वह नये कार्य करने की क्षमता भी रखेगा और अवश्य ही सफलता की सीढ़ी पर भी प्रकाशित होकर अपने माता-पिता और शिक्षक-शिक्षिका का नाम रोशन करने में कामयाब होगा।
समस्त पाठकों मैं बहुत खुश हूँ कि आप मेरे समस्त लेख रूचि के साथ पढ़ते हैं और पसंद भी करते हैं, जिसके लिए मैं आपका आभार व्यक्त करती हूं एवं आशा करती हूं कि आप यह लेख भी पढ़ेंगे और अपने विचार व्यक्त करेंगे।
धन्यवाद आपका ।

How a Normal Delivery Became Possible Inspite of a Complicated Pregnancy
My pregnancy journey was a dream come true. My husband and I, both were excited about our baby. We used to regularly visit our doctor, and hear our baby's heartbeat during the checkups. In the 7th month, my doctor told me that the head of my baby had got fixed and he could become ready to come out soon, at this time his lungs were not fully developed. It was a complicated situation as I had a low lying placenta also.I had to go on bed rest with a little bit of walk. We were very worried. My husband used to do all my work. He continuously motivated me and stayed in touch with my doctor. One thing that I could do for my baby was breathing exercises and yoga. And it helped me a lot during the delivery.Thanks to God, I completed 9 months of pregnancy. In my final ultrasound, I got to know that there was a loop around the neck of my baby. We became even more worried.Three days prior to my due date, I noticed some blood stains on my pant and we rushed to our doctor. She told us that I needed to get admitted. I asked why as there was no pain. Doc said that pain would start within the next 4 to 5 hours.We went back home, took our delivery kit in which we had kept all the essential goods for our baby and me. Doctor said that she would see if a normal delivery was still possible.After 8 hours of pain I was almost exhausted, but due to the encouragement by my doctor and nurses I was able to deliver my son Yatharth on 23rd August 2018 through NVD. One thing that I have learnt is that a mother's love for her baby and her husband's support gives her strength.
