Pinworms in Babies
Children are often susceptible to many illnesses as they grow up. Pinworms in toddlers and babies are very common but can be easily treated. The intestinal parasite that causes a pinworm infection is also called as threadworms or seatworms; they affect adults and children alike, but the infection doesn’t take long to clear out.
What is a Pinworm Infection?
To break it down for you, pinworms are small white-coloured worms that can range in length from 2mm to 13mm long. They look very similar to dental floss or very thin white cotton thread (hence called threadworms). They are highly contagious through direct contact with objects or persons that are contaminated with either the worms or its eggs.
How Does Pinworm Infection Spread?
Once your child has been infected, the female worms get right to work while your baby is sound asleep. The worms enter the intestinal tract, latch on to the skin surrounding the colon and around the rectum and lay eggs.
The eggs of pinworms can survive outside the human body for up to three weeks. It is hence very easy for a healthy person to catch the infection if someone in the family has it. Extreme measures need to be adopted to prevent this: while a quarantine may not be possible, it is strongly advised to not share and touch any belongings of the affected person. Also, make sure you wash your hands thoroughly, with a strong antiseptic soap, after you are done tending to the affected person.
Causes of Pinworm in Infants
Infants will easily catch a pinworm infection if an adult in the same household has also got it. Here's how it might happen:
Being in direct contact with any contaminated object.
Ingesting food that may be contaminated.
Breathing in the eggs that might be latched on to clothes or sheets. This can happen when the infected item is being shaken.
Itching, especially around the anal region, could cause your child to pick up pinworm eggs through their fingernails.
Symptoms of Pinworm in Babies
Parents, if you’re doubtful that your baby has contracted pinworms, look out for these signs and symptoms.
Disturbed sleep and fussiness caused due to itching around the anal region.
Bacterial infection increases the chances of pinworms due to excessive itching that causes skin breakage around the anal region.
In girls, pinworms can affect the vagina causing vaginal itching and/or discharge.
In some cases, excessive pinworms infection in the intestine can lead to nausea and vomiting. Pinworms can cause nausea and vomiting in rare cases.
The chance of appendicitis, which is extremely rare, could occur due to the blockage of the appendix by pinworms.
If you notice any other severe symptoms, consult your child’s paediatrician immediately.
How are Pinworms Diagnosed?
Here are some ways in which you can inspect your baby if you suspect a pinworm infection:
Use a flashlight to check around the anal region. Since the worms lay eggs at night, checking in the morning is ideal.
Checking the surface of your child’s faeces or the vaginal tip can prove helpful.
Using transparent tape, gently press around the anus to see if your child has been infected. Since pinworm lay eggs around that region, it will be easy to identify the infection.
Pinworm Treatment for Babies
In the case of your child contracting Pinworms, you should look out for symptoms like itching and disturbed sleep. A serious infection can lead to severe problems, so to getting it under control is the main priority.
The doctors will suggest the following procedures for your child and family just to be on the safer side. It is essential to follow them diligently.
Drugs: Consumption of 'over the counter' medications like Mebendazole, Pyrantel or Albendazole to eliminate the pinworms is common. However, check with your paediatrician for a suitable dose.
Repetition: Since the medication will kill pinworms in a week, the course must be repeated two weeks later to kill any pinworms that may have hatched from the eggs laid earlier.
Tips to Follow if Your Baby Has Pinworm
It is not always recommended to opt for allopathy to treat babies. Here are few other things you can try:
As instructed by the paediatrician, follow the medical treatment for your little one.
Every morning, ensure your child is bathed as this will help in the removal of the eggs laid overnight.
During a diaper change, ensure you wipe and clean your baby thoroughly every time.
Keep your surroundings clean to prevent recurring infection. Cleaning the house and washing all clothes, sheets, and towels in hot water can kill Pinworms and its eggs.
Disinfect your child’s toys with soap and hot water.
Since pinworm eggs are sensitive to sunlight, ensure that all your curtains and blinds are drawn to bring in plenty sunlight.
Effective Home Remedies for Pinworm in Babies
There are home remedies for pinworms in your toddler when they are infected that can help your little one. Just ensure to check for allergies before you can implement them.
Garlic: Garlic has the potential to eliminate pinworms inside your baby’s intestinal tract.
Grapefruit seed extract: is known to regulate bowel movements, aiding in properly flushing out the pinworms from your child’s system
Coconut oil: has antibacterial and antiviral properties that are a good remedy to help with your child’s pinworm infection
Pinworm Infection Follow Up
Pinworm infections may recur. You may try home remedies, but it is also suggested that your child is properly dewormed and is take for a checkup with their paediatrician.
What Happens if Pinworms in Babies are not Treated?
Since a pinworms infection is a serious one, especially in toddlers, it must be treated immediately. If not, they have repercussions such as the following:
Itching and rashes around the anal region
Vaginal itching and discharge
Diarrhoea
Bedwetting
How to Prevent Pinworm in Infants?
Cleanliness can help prevent pinworms. Keeping your child’s nails short and clean can do the trick.
Bathing in the morning can help get rid of the eggs laid overnight.
Keep track of your child’s diaper and underwear. Changing diapers at regular intervals and daily change of underwear is a must.
Get plenty of sunlight into your child’s room and around the house. It helps eliminate pinworm eggs.
Try and prevent your child from biting their nails or sucking their fingers.
Keep your hands clean as Pinworms is a contagious infection. Washing your hands constantly.
Ensure your child’s hands are washed before eating and after using the toilet.
During the recovery period, ensure you wash all clothes, linens, and towels in hot water.
Toilet seats must be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent worsening the pinworm infection.
Ensure that your child is infection free before they can interact with any other children.
There are many infections your child can pick up, and Pinworms can cause a lot of discomfort in your child. It must be treated as the earliest with all the necessary precaution and remember prevention is always better than cure!

Fenugreek (Methi) and Breast Milk Supply - Does It Really Help?
Doctors recommend that newborns should be fed exclusively with breast milk for the first six months of their lives. Breast milk contains all the necessary nutrients your baby needs for proper growth and development. It also contains antibodies from the mother which help build the baby’s immunity and resistance to infections. Unfortunately, not all lactating moms are able to produce sufficient quantities of breast milk to feed their babies. Breast milk supply can be increased by taking natural foods that help the mother’s body produce greater quantities of breast milk. Fenugreek is one such food that helps increase breast milk production.
What is Fenugreek?
Fenugreek is a herb native to South and Western Asia. The scientific name of fenugreek is Trigonella foenum-graecum and India is the largest producer of fenugreek in the world. The seeds and leaves of fenugreek are commonly used ingredients in South Asian dishes. Fenugreek has several health benefits and contains several nutrients that are beneficial for lactating mothers. The leaves contain phosphorous, potassium, calcium, dietary fibre and iron. The seeds contain vitamins A, C, and B-complex vitamins like thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, niacin, and pyridoxine.
Is Fenugreek Safe For A Breastfeeding Mother and Her Baby?
Fenugreek is completely safe for breastfeeding mothers and their babies. However, diabetic women, pregnant women, women who are allergic to peanuts and chickpeas, and women with hypothyroidism should check with their doctor before adding fenugreek to their diet.
Does Fenugreek Increase Breast Milk Supply?
Fenugreek is a well-known galactagogue, which means this herb increases breast milk production in lactating mothers. Seeds and leaves of fenugreek have been used by lactating mothers to boost breast milk supply for hundreds of years.
How does Fenugreek work for Increased Breast Milk Production?
Fenugreek contains several flavonoids and vitamins which are beneficial for lactating mothers. It also contains phytoestrogen which is similar to the female hormone oestrogen which stimulates the breast milk ducts to grow. Fenugreek contains a compound called diosgenin which increases milk flow in lactating women.
Consuming Fenugreek To Increase Breast Milk
Consuming fenugreek is a natural and safe way to boost breast milk production in breastfeeding moms. Here are various ways in which you can add fenugreek to your diet:
1. Chewing Seeds
You can chew or swallow a teaspoonful of fenugreek seeds daily.
2. Fenugreek Sprouts
Soak fenugreek seeds in water until they soften. Drain the water and keep in a cool, dark place until they sprout. Use the sprouts in salads.
3. Fenugreek Tea
Drinking fenugreek tea for breast milk production helps increase the milk flow in lactating women. To make the tea, add hot water to a teaspoon of seeds and allow it to steep. Drink this with honey.
4. Powder
Having fenugreek powder for breast milk production is another way of consuming fenugreek to boost lactation. Dry roast a handful of seeds and grind it to make a powder. Use this powder to flavour dals and curries.
5. Capsules
Fenugreek capsules for breastfeeding moms are sold in most pharmacies. You can buy the fenugreek capsules. However, make sure you consult your doctor to determine the correct dosage.
6. Fenugreek Rice Porridge
Pressure cook 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds with a cup of rice with water and salt until it turns soft. Consume this porridge to boost breast milk production.
7. Stir Fried Leaves
Thoroughly wash and de-stem fresh fenugreek leaves. Use this in a stir fry along with other vegetables or stir fry the leaves on their own and use it as a side dish.
8. Rotis
Fenugreek leaves are mixed with chappati dough to make rotis or parathas. This is a tasty way to consume fenugreek leaves.
9. Dosas
Fenugreek seeds are ground along with rice and lentils to make dosa batter. The dosas made from this batter contain fenugreek which boosts lactation.
10. Curries
Add fenugreek leaves to sambhar, curries, and dals to make them flavourful and to boost breast milk flow.
How Soon Does Fenugreek Increase Breast Milk Supply?
Breastfeeding moms find that their breast milk flow increases within one to three days of starting to consume fenugreek. It has been found that it could take up to 2 weeks to see an increase in breast milk production in some women.
How Long Do You Need To Take Fenugreek?
The fenugreek can be stopped once the breast milk flow has increased to the required level. The flow will be maintained if the baby is fed regularly. It can also be used long-term to increase breast milk supply for mothers who want to pump and store breast milk.
Suggested Fenugreek Dosage
Fenugreek should be consumed in the correct dosage to increase lactation. Make sure you ask your doctor to determine the correct dosage for you. Here are the appropriate dosages:
Item
Dosage
With Water
3-4 grams of fenugreek in warm water
Powdered Form
½ to 1 teaspoon or powder or seeds 3 times a day
Tea
One cup of tea twice or thrice a day
Capsules
6 capsules amounting to 3500mg
Other Health Benefits of Fenugreek Seeds
Apart from the fenugreek's benefits of breastfeeding, this herb has several other health benefits. Some of them are:
1. Reduces Menstrual Cramps
Fenugreek seeds help in reducing menstrual cramps. Consuming soaked seeds during painful periods can help reduce the pain.
2. Anti-ageing Properties
Fenugreek contains antioxidants that fight signs of ageing in the body.
3. Controls Diabetes
Fenugreek can lower blood sugar in the body and thus helps control diabetes.
4. Lowers Fevers
Fenugreek cools the body and can bring down a high temperature. It is used as a natural medicine to reduce fever.
5. For Sinus Problems
Fenugreek can treat sinus congestions and also soothe sore throats. Gargling with fenugreek tea can soothe the throat pain.
6. Increases Libido
Fenugreek seeds have been known to increase libido, especially in men.
7. Lowers Cholesterol
Consuming fenugreek extract can increase good cholesterols HDL and lower levels of bad cholesterols or LDL in the body.
8. Stimulates Appetite
Fenugreek has been found to increase appetite. It has been recommended as a natural appetite stimulant for people with eating disorders like Anorexia nervosa.
9. For Weight Loss
Fenugreek is good for people trying to lose weight. The cholesterol-reducing properties of fenugreek can also reduce abnormal levels of lipids in the body and thus fight obesity.
10. Helps in Digestion and Reduces Inflammation
Fenugreek can help in digestion and in combating gastrointestinal issues. Fenugreek is a herbal diuretic and is also used to treat dysentery, stomach ulcers and gastritis. Fenugreek also reduces inflammation in the body. It is therefore helpful to reduce inflammation in people suffering from mouth ulcers, boils, cough, tuberculosis, tissue infections, kidney problems, and even cancer.
Side Effects of Fenugreek
Though fenugreek has a great number of health benefits, excessive consumption can cause problems in both the mother and the baby.
1. For Breastfeeding Mother
The mother’s breast milk and urine may smell like maple syrup. People who are allergic to chickpeas and peanuts may be allergic to fenugreek also. It can cause allergic reactions like hives, swollen tongue and throat, and breathing problems. Diabetics should use it with caution as it can cause blood sugar levels to drop drastically. It could cause runny stools in some people. It is not safe for pregnant women as it can trigger uterine contractions and cause a miscarriage or preterm delivery. Eating more than 100 g of fenugreek seeds in a day can give you stomach cramps.
2. For Breastfed Baby
Some babies may have runny stools. It can cause some babies to be fussy because of the upset stomach and gas.
Precautions To Be Taken While Using Fenugreek To Increase Breast Milk Production
Here are the precautions to take while using fenugreek to boost breast milk production:
Avoid excessive consumption as it can cause stomach pain.
Women allergic to peanuts and chickpeas could also be allergic to fenugreek. So, check with your doctor before adding it to your diet.
Avoid fenugreek if you suffer from hypothyroidism.
Diabetic mothers should use it with caution as it can rapidly lower blood sugar levels and cause hypoglycaemia.
Does Fenugreek Work For Every Breastfeeding Woman?
Fenugreek has been found to increase breast milk production in most women and doctors regularly recommend fenugreek capsules for lactating moms. However, fenugreek may not work for every woman. There are some women who reported that they did not see a change in breast milk production levels after taking fenugreek capsules. However, low breast milk production in mom could be due to various reasons such as low nutrition, stress, hormonal imbalance, and improper latching of breastfeeding baby. If these problems are addressed, the breast milk supply could increase after taking fenugreek supplements.
Fenugreek has been used in Asian cultures for ages to improve breast milk production in lactating mothers. Fenugreek can cause the mother’s milk, sweat and urine to smell like maple syrup. It also passes through the breast milk into the baby and can make the baby’s sweat and urine also smell like maple syrup. However, fenugreek has a great number of health benefits apart from increasing lactation. It has been used both as a flavouring agent and as the main ingredient in many South-Asian cuisines. It is beneficial for lactating mothers to include fenugreek in their diet after checking with their doctor.

PCOD and Depression - Not the End of the World, My Life Then and Now
Hi everyone.
Today I wish to write about how my life changed before and after discovering that I had PCOD.
Let me tell you that PCOD is not the end of your life. In fact, I struggled and came out of the depression that comes along with PCOD.
As you must be aware that polycystic ovarian disease can sometimes change your life for the worse.
Let me start from the time when I was in school. I had very shiny, smooth and clear skin. No pimples, no health issues. A very healthy teenager.
One day I noticed very minute pimples all over my forehead. I applied many anti allergic and antifungal ointments. Nothing happened. Day by day those minute pimples kept spreading all over my face, back and neck. Pimples were so many and extreme that my skin was barely visible. I did visit n number of doctors. Kept having medicines too.
None of the renowned doctors suggested a hormonal imbalance. Three years passed and I visited a doc in Lady Harding college. I took a few tests and medicines for a year. Everything changed. My pimples were gone.
I got married at 30. Planned baby at 31 but failed to conceive. Started having problems with periods so I visited a gynaecologist.
I was told that I had PCOD.
As a teenager when I was having acne issues, that was the first symptom of having PCOD.
I was slender always. No other symptom I ever noticed. Regular cycles.
Second symptom was at 31 when I had a bulging tummy and gastric issues.
Nobody ever bothered to get me tested when I was young. We must look for symptoms and visit doc in case there are some noticeable changes in the body.
In my case, people thought that acne is just a phase and nothing serious.
Anyway.
I read about it. Searched every website. I was devastated when I realised that having a baby will be a 50-50 chance. And some never have that chance at all.
I used to cry myself to sleep. Fights every day with husband. And family pressure was bad. People were talking things about us. I changed my eating habits. Nothing seemed to work. Praying to God helped in maintaining peace of mind.
Now What I Did Learn in That Phase
Stop eating junk food. Two or three morsels once in a blue moon won't hurt though.
Discard non-stick utensils. No plastic in everyday use. Use steel utensils. No microwave.
Eat healthy. Vegetables and fruits.
Lots of moong daal. Soup also helps.
Two bananas everyday.
Coco water everyday on an empty stomach.
Sesame seeds and walnuts do wonders. Eat everyday.
Wash cereals a lot than pressure cook.
Include lots of turmeric powder.
Flax seeds and various nuts and berries are a must to eat.
Eat preservative-free food. No canned food. No packaged juices.
Kiwi and strawberry are "power fruits".
Dates and figs should be included in your daily diet.
No curd and pickles at night.
Do pranayam and butterfly asan daily. Walk for 30 minutes daily.
Pray.
Take ur medicines religiously.
It helped me in getting rid of PCOD and a stressful personal life. I was able to conceive after 7 months.
I have a charming little boy of 8 months now.
I wish you all good luck. PCOD Is not the end of life.

Read on to find out ways to make a chore chart for your child. Watch them get used to doing little chores that will not only help you but also instill discipline in them.
How to Make a Chore Chart for Kids
1. Assign Age Appropriate Chores
Make sure that you are assigning age appropriate chores to your child. This is very important to ensure that he understands what is expected of him. You can even get your toddlers to help you with some easy chores.
Age 2-3
Picking up toys and books
Putting laundry in the laundry basket
Age 4-6

2. Easy to Understand Chore Charts
Just like the chores for kids, the chore charts you make should also be age appropriate. If your child cannot read completely, he would be excited to see his chores listed down on a chart with images. If you have two children in different age groups, go for a more balanced chore chart that caters to both of them.
3. Visible Chore Charts
Place the chore chart somewhere where it is in clear view so your child cannot give an excuse about having forgotten. Make sure you review the chore chart daily to ensure that your child has completed the chores assigned to him.
4. Rewards for Household Chores
You can also motivate your children to help you with household chores by deciding on some rewards for each chore they complete. These do not have to be expensive. Rewards like cooking their favourite dishes or giving them some extra time to play can suffice.
Chore charts are an interesting and fun way to get your children to enthusiastically help you with daily chores. Try innovative ideas such as colourful fonts, stickers and cartoons to make chore charts more attractive. Your kids will have a super time being mom's little heroes! Read more

Bears are full of love (never mind how violent they look on all those GK shows) and your child will love having them by the bedside. A classic but eternal Valentine that never fails!
2. A Set of Heart-Shaped Pillows
If you have organised children who keep their room clean (wow!), give them these pillows to prop up their bed with. They add so much colour and so much beauty even to the dullest of rooms.

3. Red and Pink Heart-Shaped Candies
It's the season of love and your children are the ones you love the most! These delicious heart-shaped candies/cakes can double up both as gifts and as dinner-time treats on February 14.
4. Colour Pencils in a Pink Case
Why not get your little artists a colour set on Valentine's? Make sure the set is well stocked and of the kind your children are comfortable using. If you are not too fond of overusing pink, you can look for a variation in shade for the case. Ask your kids to use the colours and draw you a painting as a return gift. After all, a Valentine's gift for son needs to contribute to curbing tantrums and chaos as well!

Pick popular children's classics such as Thumbelina or Puss in Boots. These are the Valentine gifts for preschoolers that will also help them with cognitive and linguistic development. If you have older children, you can opt for series books such as school stories, or general awareness books like encyclopaedias.

The day I conceived - an amazing feeling. Beautiful and so pure.
Well, I write this with utmost giggly feeling in my stomach..!!! To start with, I think the decision to have a baby is by far the most toughest but the best decision We have ever made in our lives. By "we", I obviously mean me and my husband. I believe, It is very important to take such decisions with clear mind and with correct reasons. We wanted to have a baby because we felt it is now the right time to bring a new life into ours. Thats it.. no other reason. We were sure that we will now be able to give our 100% to this new phase. It took me and my husband around 4 years to make this decision. And once we were sure, then as the saying goes.. what we feel is what we get..!!!
I still remember, just 2 days after having tried for baby, I felt a sort of tingling feeling in my stomach! My mum was like, "it is not possible that your body could show change of any kind related to pregnancy in just 2 days". And yes she was right. It was not just my body, it was my inner self or so called voice telling me that our first effort has been successful.! We took our time and since I was already convinced that I am pregnant, I decided not to visit a general physician to get this tingling feeling checked but instead to go to a gyni. But since I had not missed my periods, I had to get some advanced level blood test to confirm the great news. It took 5 days and 2 tests and yay.. I was indeed pregnant..!!!
Now when I look back at that time, I believe that we succeeded in our first attempt for one reason. That being, the reason to get pregnant. It is very important to realise that the intent with which you conceive is so important for baby as well. I strongly believe that if u r bored of ur life and want to have a baby, family pressure, husband- wife stressed out relation or having a baby just for the sake of having a baby... none of these are good reason to have a baby.
I wanted to have a baby because I wanted to give my love, attention and affection to a new life. I wanted a baby because I wanted to experience the joy of bringing in a new life and working on nurturing and loving that new soul. Once we tried, I sat and asked The Soul to choose us as parents! Since i was convinced, it came to me very naturally to convince the soul that we are going to be great parents and we are going to love unconditionally.
I think that my soul and the new soul connected at some level and so They gave me a strong conviction that I am pregnant before the tests could confirm.
Having a baby is all science as we know since 9th standard biology class! But for me it turned out to be way more than that. A spiritual connect! Read more
