My Healthy Baby is Proof that Ayurvedic Baby Massages are the Way to Go
In today's day and age a lot of age old practices are written off. However, when it comes to baby massages, they still hold the same importance as they did for older generations.
Right from my grandma to the doctor to my mum, all of them are strong advocates of massaging the baby with an Ayurvedic massage oil, and now even I have joined the bandwagon! I’m here to tell you why I’ve chosen to go the Ayurvedic route.
It is established that the way we take care of our babies in early years impacts his or her development accordingly. Nourishing your newborn baby’s skin with highly effective oils is an important part of ensuring that his/her muscles and bones get strong and healthy.
Authentic Ayurvedic oils like Dabur Lal Tail maximize benefits as they are an amalgamation of natural herbs and oils. Here’s my take on using this oil on my baby so that you too can make an informed decision.
Ingredients and Quality:
It’s unique Ayurvedic formulation has myriad benefits and also keeps baby skin plump and healthy. Even though times are changing and a lot of lighter oils are now available, time tested methods and practices never really go out of fashion. Dabur Lal Tail’s unique ingredients allow for this to remain a brand that we all trust and know, for years now.Know the contents better :
The Til Tail or Sesame Oil aids in the proper absorption of the oil, It Makes skin soft and supple, it moisturizes the skin from within. It also nourishes bones and muscles.
Ratanjyot helps soothe and protect the skin. Shankhapushpi helps in providing a glowing skin which is nourished and healthy.
Camphor or Karpura content helps in improving the blood circulation. And the Urad content in this oil ensures that the baby’s muscles are properly nourished making them strong.
Hence Dabur Lal Tail is one of the best oils when it comes to massage oils for babies. Tried and tested, and recommended by generations!
Benefits of Dabur Lal Tail
What goes on the skin of the baby gets absorbed in the body too, hence it becomes vital that we choose the right products for our baby’s skin and overall growth. DaburLal Tail is one such product that is enriched with natural herbs and ensures the faster physical growth. It is dermatologically tested for safety
The chosen ingredients are known for their special roles in improving blood circulation, strengthening of bones & muscles and providing a naturally glowing skin while protecting it.
And take it from me, there is no irritation or rashes observed on the baby’s skin after using Dabur Lal Tail. My baby had a really healthy growth and a soft & supple skin.
It is a common misconception that oils with a light formulation are better for babies and they are gentle. Oils’s texture don’t suggest end benefits. Ingredients/ composition matter. Even light oils may have synthetic chemicals like mineral oil in it which are not good for baby’s skin. Thus, go by natural compositions that are toxin free, free from any artificial colour masking agent, paraben free and paraffin free. Dabur Lal Tail has one such composition that is free from any kind of toxin.
The efficacy of Dabur Lal Tail is incomparable; the brilliant crimson red color of the oil comes from the ingredient “ratanjyot” which helps to soothe and protect skin. This formulation is dermatologically tested for safety. In fact it helps make the baby's skin soft and protects the skin while strengthening bones and muscles aiding faster physical growth.
Effects on consistent usage:
Consistent massaging with Dabur Lal Tail helps in faster physical growth helping babies to achieve their milestones faster. It also promotes the nourishment and strengthening of bones and muscles. As if that wasn’t enough, your baby’s blood circulation also improves with regular massaging. The chosen ingredients in its composition are known for their unique benefits in nourishment of skin.

A journey from a PCOD patient to embracing Motherhood. An unforgettable journey of a lifetime.
Motherhood, a blessing that every female eagerly waits for. But sometimes it is just a dream which is far from reality for a few females.PCOD/PCOS is becoming common nowadays and is happening to every 1 in 5 girls. This is such an issue if not addressed at the right time then this could lead to infertility.I was diagnosed with PCOD, after a couple of months of my marriage in the year 2017. Our world suddenly turned upside down when I learned about this disease. I consulted many doctors in Delhi but all in vain. They all suggested that I must get an IVF, and were least interested in treating the disease.My husband and I were not in favor of this and started to look for another doctor and luckily we found one who not only cured the disease but assured us that we will conceive naturally.The day I have been waiting finally arrived when the doctor said that I have been cured completely of PCOD, after two long years of medications. These words were sheer poetry to my ears. This day was the beginning of good days in our lives.Months passed and out of nowhere, I realized that I have missed my period. I then checked and found the result to be positive.We were dancing over the moon after getting to know that we are pregnant!!. Nothing in the world can be compared to the joy and happiness of having able to carry a baby within you.I felt blessed that I could experience this beautiful phase of motherhood.The start was rough but the ending was just amazing.We welcomed our angel on 04 Jan 2020.Soon she will be turning a year old.This journey of the first year has been wonderful.I wish luck to all those who are expecting and those who are planning.Those who have welcomed their kids, good luck to those as well.STAY SAFE!!

When to Consult a Fertility Doctor
If you have been trying to get pregnant for a while now but have not had much luck, you may wonder if it is time to see a specialist. The doctors who deal with fertility issues are known as 'reproductive endocrinologists'. A reproductive endocrinologist is a gynaecologist/obstetrics. Unlike before, there are now some medical interventions that can help you to have your own baby even if it can sometimes feel impossible.
When Should You See a Fertility Doctor?
Here are some guidelines that you must keep in mind when you decide to see a doctor for fertility issues:
1. Below 35 and Healthy
Couples of this age who are healthy are may take about a year to conceive. This is especially true if you have been on some kind of birth control before trying. If you have tried for a full twelve months without using any type of birth control and you are still having trouble getting a positive on your pregnancy tests, it is time to see your specialist.
2. Above 35
There is a peak age for everything, and it is no different with our reproductive age. For men, once they hit 40, it can become more challenging to have children. For women, 35 is the peak age to conceive, so if you have reached that hill or are over it, your egg supply may begin to drop. While it is still possible to have children, getting pregnant may not be as easy as it is before this age. If you have been trying for six months now, free of birth control but have had not conceived yet, consult your doctor.
3. Above 40
Once you hit 40, not only does the number of eggs your body produce start dropping, but the quality starts to drop as well. This means that there is a greater chance of having miscarriages or trouble getting pregnant. If you fall into this category, it will be best to consult a doctor right away.
4. Body Mass Index
Weight is very important when it comes to getting pregnant. If your BMI is either above 30 or below 18, you may have a bit of trouble conceiving. Reaching a healthy BMI is very important before you try getting pregnant to avoid any complications. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it is possible to get pregnant if your BMI level is low or more than the desired.
5. Thyroid Problems
Your thyroid is directly connected to your hormones, so if it is behaving in a problematic way, there is a chance that you may have some problems with conceiving as well. If you have a thyroid problem, consult a doctor to make sure that you will not suffer from any side effects with regards to conception. As per a study, thyroid problems are connected to fertility issues.
6. Reproductive Issues
Sometimes you are already aware that you have a problem with your reproductive system as they occur in the form of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and endometriosis. In such cases, you should visit your doctor immediately if you are trying to conceive.
7. Strange Symptoms
If you have unusual pain or don’t get your periods regularly, visit a doctor immediately as you may have a problem with your reproductive system that you aren’t aware of.
8. Multiple Miscarriages
You will know when it is time to see a fertility specialist if you have had some positive pregnancy tests but end up with miscarriages. Anatomic uterine problems like scar tissue or having a septate uterus, a condition involving a thin membrane that either partially or fully divides the uterus, can cause problems with pregnancy and may result in miscarriages.
9. Complicated Medical History
If you are suffering from a major health issue or have had medical issues in the past, you should meet with a fertility doctor to ensure that there are no side effects to your reproductive system. Some of these medical problems are diabetes, kidney or heart conditions, hypertension and cancer survivors. Even if you have regained normal periods, both men and women who have survived cancer should get their fertility checked as the chemotherapy can lessen egg supply and sperm count.
10. Family History
There may be a history of early menopause in your family where your mother or aunts may have reached menopause at an early age. If this is the case, you should have a check with the fertility doctor to make sure that you are aware of how much time you have to conceive.
Questions You Should Ask Your Fertility Specialist
If you have made up your mind that you need to see a fertility specialist, you should go prepared and carry along all your medical reports so that your doctor will be aware of your medical history. Your doctor will have a better idea of what the problem is. Here are some questions you should ask your doctor during your first visit.
What is causing problems in conception?
What additional tests will we be required?
Will the tests be covered by insurance?
Which treatment is the most successful and what are the rates of its success?
How long will the treatment last for?
Are there any side effects that come with this treatment and what are they?
If this treatment does not show any results, what treatment should we try next?
What else can I do to improve the chances of the treatment being a success?
You must keep trying to conceive and not give hope if you really want a baby. But, if you are above 35 or 40, you should have yourselves checked as early as possible as waiting may complicate things.
