Egg Yolks:
Egg yolk contains fat, saturated fat and cholesterol which gets many a parent worried. A crucial fact that is often overlooked is that along with these the yolk also contains essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins and is also high in iron and calcium.

Benefits of Eggs for Infants
The highest quality of proteins ‘lactalbumin’ are found in human milk. Eggs are the source of the second highest quality of proteins that are to be found in any food. Eggs also are rich in minerals, vitamins and several other nutrients that are beneficial for infants in many respects. Egg white, being rich in potassium and proteins, helps with organ function.
1. Digestion And Immunity
Eggs are rich in mineral content such as iron, selenium and zinc. Thus, they help in creating a robust immune system. The production of new cells in infants is significant, and eggs being rich in folate, aid and assist cell regeneration. Egg whites assist babies in maintaining the right sodium and potassium content in their bodies. Most importantly, eggs, particularly the yoke are easy for infants to eat and digest
2. Brain Development
Egg yolks contain choline and cholesterol which are associated with brain development in infants. Cholesterol assists with the digestion of fats and also produces hormones. Choline assists with the proper functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
3. Energy and Bone Development
While proteins in egg whites provide vital energy, egg white also contains riboflavin, which is crucial for releasing energy from carbohydrates. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble vitamins which aid with bone development.
4. Heart Health
Egg yolks contain Phospholipids which help with proper vascular function and also assist infant bodies in managing cholesterol.
5. Liver Function
The sulfur content in eggs helps in the production of keratin and collagen besides helping to absorb vitamin B12 which is crucial for the proper functioning of the liver.
6. Eye Health
Antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin are also found in eggs, lutein protects the eyes from damage caused by harmful bad lights and ultraviolet light, both antioxidants are crucial in preventing vision loss, and both are to be found in egg yolks.
How to Select Eggs?
Fresh eggs are better than the ones stored in a refrigerator. It is advisable to buy them from vendors selling eggs that have been kept in the open as they would be fresh.
Fresh eggs sink in a bowl of water. Eggs have an air pocket in them and as the eggs get older the air pocket increases making them float
The yolk of older eggs breaks up more easily while fresh eggs have a prominent white surrounding a firm yolk.
To find out if an egg is hard boiled or raw in the centre spin them on a table or kitchen counter, hard-boiled eggs will spin longer.
How to Store Eggs?
Babies cannot consume all the eggs that have been purchased in a single day, it is, therefore, crucial that eggs are stored properly to keep them fresh till your baby can consume them.
Eggs should be stored in their original packaging and placed in the coolest part of the refrigerator; the original packaging will prevent eggs from absorbing any flavour or odour in the refrigerator.
Storing eggs with their bigger sides facing upwards will keep the yolk centred.
Try to use the eggs before the stated expiry date or within seven days of purchase.
Tips for Cooking Eggs for Babies
Once the babies are one year old or older, they can have whole eggs boiled, fried, scrambled or served as an omelette. Dishes like custards containing eggs can also be fed to babies who are one year of age or older. There are a few things to note about how to cook an egg for baby Do note that food products having raw eggs such as mayonnaise, homemade ice cream or baked items should not be served to babies since their digestive system is still learning how to digest. Allow the baby time to get accustomed to the natural flavour of the egg yolk. Do not add sugar or salt to the yolk. Since half boiled eggs may contain pathogens which a baby’s immune system is not fully developed to resist, it is advisable to feed eggs that are hard boiled.
Delicious Egg Recipes For Your Baby
Given below are a select few recipes of egg dishes for babies.
Boiled Eggs
As mentioned above babies can be served boiled eggs once they are a year or older. It is recommended to serve boiled eggs for babies without adding salt or sugar to get the baby accustomed to the flavour, if the baby does not like it at all then you may add a pinch of salt for taste.
Boiling eggs for ten minutes or more continuously, renders the egg white with poor flavour and texture, and is not easy to chew, a better way to hard boil eggs is as follows.
Place eggs in a pan of cold water and bring to a boil over a stove.
Simmer for a minute, switch off the flame and leave the pan covered for twenty minutes.
Peel the egg, cut into small bits and serve.
2. Scrambled Eggs
Follow these steps to make a scrambled egg for baby.
Break an egg and empty contents in a small bowl.
Lightly beat the egg to break the yolk and partially mix with the white.
Place a small frying pan on medium heat till hot.
Add a teaspoon of oil and pour the slightly beaten eggs in the pan.
Lightly whisk and scramble with a spoon till it is cooked firm.
Serve with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3. Egg Yolk Mash
A simple way to serve egg yolk for baby is to make egg yolk mash. To prepare it, simply cut hard boiled eggs into half, remove the yolk and mash it with milk or yoghurt.
4. Egg Rice With Vegetables
Here is how you can make egg rice for babies:
Toss ¼ cups of cooked vegetables like carrots broccoli with one cup cooked rice and one hardboiled egg and serve
5. Egg Omelette
Mix one egg with a quarter cup of milk salt and pepper and whisk well. Pour oil into a hot frying pan and add the omelette mix. Allow it to set and serve. You can even use butter instead of oil for a fluffier texture.
FAQ’s
1. Which Part of the Egg Could be Allergic for Babies?
The white part of the egg contains four proteins that could cause an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction from egg yolk is extremely rare. It is to be noted, however, that several scientific studies have concluded that by the time children are five years old they have overcome allergies to eggs.
2. Can You Give Eggs Every Day to Your Baby?
Yes, children can be fed eggs every day.
3. How Many Egg Yolks Can You Give an 8-Month-Old Baby?
It is advisable that a child, eight months of age should be fed only one egg yolk per day.
4. What If Your Baby Doesn’t Like Egg Yolks?
You may add salt and pepper to suit the baby’s palette. Additionally, you can mix the yolk of boiled eggs in milk or yoghurt to make it palatable for the baby. You can also try giving the baby scrambled eggs with the yolk mixed with the egg white. Making puddings or custards with eggs is a good idea too! If your baby still does not like the egg yolk you can simply serve him the white.
5. Can You Give Soft Boiled /Runny Yolks to Your Baby?
It is not recommended to serve soft runny yolks to children, as the egg yolk may contain a certain bacteria called Salmonella Enteritidis. These bacteria could cause infections in children. Salmonella Enteritidis is destroyed when eggs are completely cooked. Soft runny yolks of soft boiled eggs are not cooked; they are simply warmed, and that is not sufficient to kill the bacteria Salmonella Enteritidis
To check for infections, one must be aware of the symptoms of Salmonella. An infected person will get diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps with the symptoms lasting from four to seven days.
Besides the fear and apprehension felt by most parents before introducing eggs in the diet of their babies, it is by and large considered safe to offer them once they are about one year old. As discussed, if certain precautions are taken, eggs are not only safe for your baby, but they benefit children in several ways.

8 Common Newborn Baby Reflexes
Newborn babies can exercise very little control over their bodies. Nature, therefore, equips them with certain survival skills. One of these is reflex. Baby reflexes at birth can be defined as involuntary actions and movements, performed by babies either as part of a usual activity or as a response to external stimuli. These necessary reflexes can cause babies to twitch, kick and jerk seemingly without warning or visible reason, and to some may appear abnormal. However, they are no cause for worry as they indicate that the baby’s brain and nervous system are developing normally. Most of these reflexes are temporary and will disappear as the baby grows.
Which Reflexes Should Be Present In Your Newborn Baby?
Given below are the newborn reflexes list with names and some details of common infant reflexes found in newborn babies.
1. Root Reflex
Root reflex is a basic survival instinct that helps the baby to latch on to the mother's breast and feed. This reflex is very helpful for nursing moms.
How to Check?
Upon stroking the side of the cheek, the baby will turn his head in the direction of the touch and open his mouth to feed.
When does it go?
This reflex only remains for the first four months.
2. Moro Reflex
The Moro Reflex is also known as the startle reflex as it occurs when the baby is startled.
How to Check?
In response to a loud sound or disturbance, the baby will throw its head back, stretch out its arms and legs, cry and then withdraw its arms and legs.
When does it go?
This reflex only remains for the first two months.
3. Tonic Neck Reflex
Tonic neck reflex is when the baby responds by stretching his hands when his neck is turned to one direction, there is no known explanation for this reflex.
How to Check?
Gently turn the baby’s head to one side and observe that they will stretch out their hands on the same side and bend the opposite arm from the elbow.
When does it go?
This reflex only remains for the first four to five months.
4. Righting Reflex
Righting reflex is a precautionary reflex and is a natural way for the baby to protect itself.
How to Check?
Drop a blanket over the baby’s head while it is sleeping. You will observe that the baby will shake its head, hands and legs till the blanket falls off.
When does it go?
This reflex only remains for the first year till the muscles have matured to exercise sufficient control.
5. Withdrawal Reflex
Withdrawal reflex is another precautionary reflex and is a natural way for the baby to avoid colliding with any object.
How to Check?
When your baby is sitting, suddenly move your face close to his, you will notice that the baby will turn his head away. He would do the same if an object suddenly moves closer to him.
When does it go?
This reflex will remain for life.
6. Tongue Thrust Reflex
Again a precautionary reflex and is a natural way for the baby to avoid choking on food or swallowing a small object.
How to Check?
Gently touch a small spoon to the tip of the baby’s tongue. You will observe that the baby will push it back out.
When does it go?
This reflex will remain the first four to six months.
7. Grasp Reflex
Grasp Reflex is the baby’s way of holding on to its mother.
How to Check?
Gently rub the baby’s open palm with your finger, and it will immediately grasp your finger.
When does it go?
This reflex will gradually go after the third month.
8. Stepping Reflex
The baby’s attempt at walking is known as the stepping reflex.
How to Check?
Hold the baby in the air with his legs dangling and then gently bring him down till its feet begin to touch the floor, you will notice that the baby will put one foot forward as if trying to walk.
When does it go?
This reflex will remain for the first two months.
As mentioned earlier in this article, reflexes are natural in newborn babies and are a sign that the baby is developing normally, these awkward reflexes will disappear with time.

Mom Shares 5 Natural Remedies For Chronic Pain in Women. They Work For Post-Delivery Pains Too!
Pain is one of the earliest, primary indicators of something having gone wrong in the body. As women, we experience several kinds of pain through life, in various stages. From menstrual cramps to pregnancy bloating to postpartum pains, we are no stranger to body ache and discomfort! However, there are some kinds of pains that can persist for a long time and interfere with our daily life. While some of these are beyond our control, others are caused by preventable and manageable factors. When Surbhi, a mother to two children and also a physician, saw her mother diagnosed with osteoarthritis, it was a moment of utter despair for her...
Surbhi's mother was plagued with excruciating pain and inflammation in her joints. The physical pain also affected her on a psychological level - she feared the pain would drastically alter her life! No medicines seemed to soothe the painful and burning sensation in her joints...
Her mother was suffering with chronic pain. Unlike acute pain, which is usually intense but short lived and associated with conditions like viral fever or injury, chronic pain lasts much longer. There are different conditions that are characterised by chronic pain, the most common ones being fibromyalgia and arthritis. Some women even suffer from chronic headaches and chronic back pain. This kind of chronic pain can indeed greatly and severely alter the quality of life.
In her quest to help her mother and restore her quality of life to normal, Surbhi tried a number of solutions. She put together her expert knowledge with her love and affection and charted a complete chronic pain management plan for her mom. The solutions indeed worked miraculously and managed to do what even medicines could not!
Chronic pain sufferers often feel that life is more challenging for them. Yes, it is true that chronic pain wrecks your life. It can destroy your happiness and may affect career and relationships too, owing majorly to the limitations it puts on people. It disturbs your sleep and may cause irritability, depression and even lead to suicidal thoughts. With chronic sufferings, our system does not realise that there should be an end to the pain. Pain stimulates chemicals that cause inflammation, leading to other chemicals causing more pain... and so on and so forth it goes.
According to scientific studies, women experience pain more often and more intensely than men. Data reveals that women are 4 to 7 times more likely to suffer from a chronic disease conditions. Unfortunately, their pain is less likely to be taken seriously by doctors. Treatment offered is often aggressive. For women, a long list of biological (pregnancy, childbirth), psychological and social factors (such as issues of family stress, weight gain) can bring about the onset of chronic pain.
Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for chronic pain. Common anti-inflammatory and pain killer drugs that are prescribed by doctors give only temporary relief. While relieving pain, this drug may destroy the gastrointestinal tract and may produce potentially dangerous side effects.
Chronic Pain Management – A Daughter and Physician's Perspective
Managing chronic pain can get quite tricky, especially because of how closely it affects a personal mentally/emotionally, along with the physical implications. As a daughter and as a physician too, I have observed the agony of chronic pain up close. I know it affects a person’s mental and physical state so badly.
Here I am sharing a complete guide to natural remedies for chronic pain, hoping it will help others.
1. Massage
Massage is the most common and well-known method that works superbly in reducing the intensity of pain. It works in two ways. First, it increases the level of feel-good hormones (such as serotonin and endorphins) and reduces the level of stress hormones (such as cortisol). In fact, it shows great results in post-operative patients. Apart from reducing pain, massage also helps in significant reduction of anxiety level.
Useful for: back pain, osteoarthritis, tension headache, neck pain, and surgery-related discomfort.
Tips and Caution: it is a must to learn the correct technique and method of massaging. It is also mandatory to understand your disease condition; otherwise, it may cause adverse side effect and worsening of a disease condition.
2. Managing Stress
Most people do not realise that management of chronic pain is very closely associated with stress management. Most people tend to accept 'stress' as a 'part and parcel' of the modern day lifestyle. However, it need not be so.
It is a scientifically proven fact that there is a direct co-relation between pain and mental stress level. Especially in the case of chronic pain, mind and body management, and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) work really well.
Tips and Caution: There are various stress reduction techniques trending now a day. But not all are suitable for everyone. Pranayama, meditation, and use of creative arts are some of the common methods that work great in reducing stress. But for getting the best result, it is important to understand your disease, the type of pain, and your interest in a particular technique. You may take professional advice if your stress level is too high.
3. Accupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese science, in which thin needles inserted into the body at a particular point help to relieve pain. Even though there is lack of enough scientific evidence, it has been believed that correct placement of the needles helps in correcting the imbalance of energy, known as chi. It also improves the functioning of the nervous system and musculoskeletal system, which is often where the pain originates.
Useful for: a migraine, chronic back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, tension/stress headaches and fibromyalgia.
Tips and Caution: Avoid self-treatment. It is recommended to take an expert's guidance. Results may vary from person to person. It is better to use it as an alternative therapy to other pain controlling methods.
4. Yoga and Meditation
While discussing natural pain management, how could we ever forget our own ancient powerful science of 'Yoga'? Yoga and meditation have tremendous positive effects on our physical, mental and overall health and well-being. Apart from improving the flexibility of our body yoga has a great neuroprotective effect: people who regularly practice yoga see an increase in their pain tolerance levels in due time. Yogis have better mental health and an increased and improved ability to manage their stress level. And this positive effect helps a lot to people who suffer from chronic pain.
Tips and Caution: Avoid over enthusiasm. Start slowly, learn perfectly and then practice regularly. Try to make it a part of your everyday life.
5. Use of Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Use of anti-inflammatory foods and avoiding 'trigger' foods (food that may cause allergic reaction or increase in pain) is the key to reducing chronic inflammation. Experts believe that certain chemicals in the food we eat can trigger the release of neurotransmitters and may increase pain and inflammation.
Second important thing that can cause pain is allergic reaction to food. Wheat, corn, eggs, soy, nuts, citrus foods and dairy products are some of the common foods that may cause allergic reactions. Learning to avoid these foods is a good place to start for avoiding inflammation and pain caused thereof.
Diet for Pain Management
Pain management through food is a revolutionary approach towards healing that can help a lot. Nutritional elements that fight chronic pain are:
1. Foods rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
There is evidence that Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce certain types of chronic pain and may even decrease the long-term need for anti-inflammatory drugs.
Best source of Omega-3 : Flaxseed, canola oil, walnut, eggs, wheat germ, chia seed, seafood and spinach
2. Anti-Inflammatory Foods
As explained above, anti-inflammatory foods can significantly ease chronic pain. Some of the foodstuffs you can try are:
Garlic: Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. It also can boost our immune system and helps in reducing swelling and inflammation.
Ginger: It is one of the oldest roots that used in ancient Ayurveda treatment for its great benefits. The substance called gingerols is responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed that it can work like anti-inflammatory drugs without any side effects.
Whole Grains: Of course, whole grains are the good source of fibre and have higher nutritional value than refined carbohydrate, but one surprising benefit of whole grain is that it can reduce the level of C - reactive protein. C-reactive protein is a marker that increases in various inflammatory diseases like in rheumatoid arthritis. So whole grains can be a good natural remedy for pain management.
3. Foods Rich in Antioxidants
Antioxidants are the substance that neutralize the free radicals and prevent the cell damage. It is believed that free radicals may contribute to chronic pain. If left unchecked, these excessive free radicals can further damage the already inflamed tissues. Apart from neutralizing these free radicals, antioxidants increase our immunity and improve the overall health. So, it is wise to include in our diet to reduce pain and inflammation. Best sources of antioxidants:
Green tea: It is an excellent source of polyphenols which are great antioxidants and help to reduce free radicals in the body which can cause pain and inflammation.
Berries: Cherries, raspberries, strawberries all had an exceptional nutritional value. Anthocyanins are the chemical component present in these fruits that have excellent antioxidant properties and work much like aspirin in the body!
Cayenne: Capsaicin is the active compound in cayenne that makes it a profound antioxidant agent and helps in reducing inflammation.
Green Leafy Vegetables: We already know of the multitude of benefits of dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard. However, what many people don't know is they are excellent food for pain relief. They contain an abundance of carotenoids – the antioxidant that protect cells and play a vital role in reducing inflammation.
Turmeric: If we are talking about anti-inflammatory foods, we simply cannot skip turmeric! It is an important component of ancient Ayurvedic medicine and is used extensively in Indian cuisine. The curcuminoids in turmeric are the active and powerful ingredient that can be as powerful as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in fighting inflammation! The best part of turmeric is that it can be used as a part of our regular diet too, let alone diet for pain management.
4. Herbal and Homeopathic Remedies
Last but not the least, using herbal and homeopathic remedies form a time honoured approach natural pain management. However, these medicines work best according to individual symptoms. It is recommended to seek proper medical advice before trying any kind of natural remedies for pain management.
Any kind of diet for chronic pain sufferers can – or rather should – include a good amount of the above foods. This is a lifestyle change and will take a while for the benefits to kick in. But it will be worth the 'pain'!
How These Remedies Helped My Mother
So, back to my mom’s story: I wanted to help her as a daughter and as a physician too. As a step in that direction, we included the above great anti-inflammatory foods in my mom’s diet. She has given up unhealthy and processed food such as French fries, refined carbohydrates, etc. She also started a regular exercise routine. Lastly, she also paid constructive attention to her mental stress. We also tried accupuncture.
As we all know, “Hard work always pays in life.” And it did for my mother too. Her joint pain improved remarkably; the mobility in her joints increased. For me, it was one of the best moments of my life... I was amazed to see the healing power of these natural methods. Read more

These aids will make your house windows spotlessly clean, and good to look through too! Want more? Well, they will also work wonders on your car windows and mirrors.
Tackle a Large Window Easily
For the maintenance of windows, create a mild cleaning solution at home. Add a teaspoonful of dish soap to a bucket containing a gallon of lukewarm water.

Use Cotton Shirts for Cleaning Small Windows
The best method of cleaning windows, especially the smaller sized or multi-paned ones, is by using the same solution made earlier, but go with a smaller sponge.
