The NICU Mother - Part 2 Breastfeeding challenges and Experiences. Journey continues..
Leaving the NICU after two weeks, my baby and me the NICU Mother returned home. Our journey till now was along with the doctors and nurses. Now, we were to takeover all by ourselves. With complete instructions from our pediatrician, we were set to move on. The first and most important issue to be taken care of was Breastfeeding. My child was on expressed milk and formula fed via spoon. Expressing milk all the time and then feeding with a spoon is indeed a tedious task. The mother who needs rest and care initially ends up pumping milk whole day. Plus the baby needs to learn the nature's way of feeding.
Whenever I held my baby near my breasts to feed he would cry loudly with all his strength, and I would be scared and return him back to my mom saying I'm worried for his health and weight. He was still a tiny baby below 2 kgs. But then how to feed him, how to latch him on correctly? My breasts would be so full at times, that I had to compulsory pump out milk and store it. This was a daily ritual now holding baby and he crying out loud, I returning him back. Then he was fed with the spoon. This continued for another one and a half months. Nothing seemed to work. After a few trials and errors we finally thought of another solution. The silicone nipple shield.Nipple Shields are made of silicone and are safe for baby to suck, they can be easily washed and sterilized.
My baby did not latch on initially but slowly steadily he started sucking the shield. Sucking is a natural instinct that babies have, only it needs to be explored, and only we mothers can help our babies with the same. This was good news, as it was a beginning atleast. I used shields everytime during Feeds. After a few days I thought of getting rid of it slowly. I would use the shield initially then remove it, in between feeds, and give him direct feed on. He did not take it at first, this too continued for a few days. I was pumping milk during nights, and was trying to breastfeed him directly during the day. It was a task to teach him to breastfeed, to latch him on correctly. My baby had got the technique right, but he was still getting accustomed to it. Sometimes he only wanted to have via the shields, other days only with spoon( no efforts) some days direct latching on. This went on for three months, until finally I let go off the shields. The breastfeeding challenge took three months to reach its goal! A sense of great achievement went through us- my mom and me. A good feed was established finally. I use to feed formula milk at times, because I was tired of pumping milk day and night. But now, when the feed was well established, I started giving more of my milk and less formula. Few days later he was feeding correctly and the shields were finally packed up.
Breastfeeding process requires a mother and baby to relax and make it a soothing experience. A, U-shaped pillow made it comfortable for me to pick up and lay my baby plus it served as a good cushion for my child during feeding. Resting our back during feeds are equally important as the mother may end up with back pain if she is not correctly seated. A chair or sofa or any kind of back rest is needed. Breastfeeding is a challenge for new mothers, but with consistent efforts and patience it turns into a wonderful time with our babies to bond and communicate. It takes time for mother and baby both to be comfortable with each other, but once the feed is well established its a beautiful experience.
To sum up I remember one line quoted by my pediatric, When you sit to feed you must feel like a maharani (queen) there should be so much comfort and joy during the process.
The NICU Mother's journey continues... See you on the other side!

How to Choose Age-Appropriate Movies for Toddlers
Selecting movies for toddlers requires a child’s perception and imagination. This article will tell you what all factors you should consider while picking up the right movies for your children.
Selecting movies for toddlers is just not randomly picking up any kid related CD/DVD from a video store or walking into a movie hall or tuning into television channels showcasing children’s movies. Parents need to judiciously decide which movies would be appropriate for their child’s age. Here are some pointers to determine suitable movies for toddlers.
‘Good’ Content for Toddlers’ Movies
Children usually tend to believe all that is shown in the movie. Not every movie is necessarily inappropriate in content, but probably it is not yet meant for your toddler’s age. Different movies might be suited for different age group of children. While animations, musicals or fantasy might be suitable for toddlers, movies with a social message or ones depicting friendship, bravery, hobbies might be of interest for older children.
While choosing the best movies for toddlers for viewing either at home or at a theatre, parents should search for any of the following good content:
1. Imagination
Movies should have imaginative angles to broaden a child’s viewpoint and understanding.
2. Creativity
Movies should be able to foster creativity in children and motivates them to create new things. Toys based on movie characters are a good way of doing this.
3. Positive Outlook
Movies should encourage children to develop a positive perspective from an early age.
4. Building strong opinion
Movies should help children build a strong opinion about day to day issues around them or educate them on certain matters.
5. Life Lessons
Movies that convey a social or personal message help children differentiate between the right and wrong and can influence their social behaviour.
Content to Be Avoided in Toddlers’ Movies
1. Violence
Violent visuals can have an adverse effect on a child’s thinking and character in the long run.
2. Disturbing scenes
Certain scenes or music used in horror movies are disturbing as they might scare the toddler and give rise to unrealistic fears or phobias in them.
3. Pornography
Any content related to sex, nudity, sexual abuse of any kind should be strictly avoided.
4. Foul language
Language used in movies has a huge impact on kids, they tend to copy the same and speak out in the family or public. So special care needs to be taken that they do not pick any coarse language from movies, as it is both harmful and embarrassing.
5. Addictive substances
Use of addictive substances like smoking, drugs and alcohol should also be avoided in terms of movie content, as children might get interested and pick up a bad habit.
Reading the Movie Reviews
Movies always come with a rating on viewership like G (general), PG (parental guidance required) or M (for mature audience only). Censor board takes utmost care to rate every movie. Moreover, qualified child development panelists judge children’s movies on various parameters. Hence, before selecting movies for toddlers, parents should always run a quick preview through the content to ensure its suitability.
Choosing the best movies for toddlers may require patience and efforts, but it is worthwhile, so that they can enjoy watching the movies and you can have your peace of mind. Read more

5 Tips to Keep your Garden Evergreen!
Raising children and managing a house all at once can be difficult; it's important to take a break, even if just for a few minutes. A well-kept garden can serve as a soothing retreat, especially when it's well-groomed and bloomed!
Seasonal Gardening Ideas You Can Try
1. Pick plans wisely
Don't be tempted by the prettiest flower in the nursery; it may not always be a good choice. When picking seeds or saplings, find out whether they're low-maintainance and will be able to survive the elements reasonably well. Native plants and flowers can be easier to take care of -although if you do want exotic plants, ask the nursery for details on how to nurture them.
2. Soil plays an important role
Different plants thrive in different types of soil. Select plants that'll floursh in the soil in your garden. Find out what type of soil you have by conducting a simple test - take a handful of earth and feel its consistency. Is it sticky and a little slick? It's probably clay soil. If it's gritty, it's very likely sandy soil. Peaty soil feels spongy while loamy soil feels very smooth. You can ask a professional for help if you have difficulty determining the type.
3. Give plants enough sunlight and water
Once you've planted your lot, you need to make sure you take good care of them. Besides adding fertiliser, water them when needed and let them get adequate sunlight. Different plants need different amounts of water and shade so do the needful by asking the nursery. An additional seasonal gardening tip- you can water your plants without wastage! Simply save the unsalted water in which you boil your vegetables and sprinkle it on your plants!
4. Control invasive plants
Some plants are invasive and if left unchecked, they can force existing plants to compete for resources. They can also take up a lot of space in the garden as they multiply very quickly. If you do happen to grow invasive plants, control the growth by cutting deep plastic pots from the bottom and burying them inside the ground so that they surround the plants on all four sides.
5. Keep it pest-free
In order to keep your garden healthy, you need to keep pests at bay. Slugs, snails and armyworms may seem tiny and harmless but they aren't to your garden. Do away with decaying leaves and weeds and check the garden regularly for them. If they do happen to set up home, you can use home remedies such as salt, vinegar and dishwashing soap to get rid of them. If this doesn't work, shop for a good herbicide or pesticide.
These seasonal gardening tips will help you keep your garden healthy and colourful. Let it be your perfect escape when things get chaotic. You can even have impromptu botany lessons with your kids amidst the blooms, accompanied by a scrumptious picnic! Read more

My Exciting Journey of Becoming a Mother!
“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
-- John Lennon
Imagine how you feel when you do not think of something that can ever come your way and it comes unexpectedly! Yes, that's what happened to me a year ago when I was busy building my career. A lady who was not capable of becoming a mother got to know that she is carrying a 6-week foetus in her womb. A womb which was thin and had several other issues which proved that she just can't become a mother. After 6 years of marriage and rigorous treatment, I had failed to conceive.
I used to constantly remember a saying ‘try try but don't cry’. I tried and cried a lot. I gave up. Later, I joined as a teacher in one of the nearby schools. It is wonderful and blissful to be around kids. They share true, pure and unconditional love. I wanted the same love from my very own. Somehow, the dream was just a dream for me.
I was deeply engaged in my work, being around kids. In Mumbai, I had few friends to share and move around. Here, I got friendly colleagues. Eating out, going for movies, enjoying in the malls, etc. after school hours and weekends had become my lifestyle.
At the peripheral level, I forgot the pain of not becoming a mother yet. However, deep in my heart, the feeling of becoming a mother was still alive. I shared my feelings with my husband and started taking Ayurvedic medicines. I couldn't see any positive changes in myself. Perhaps disbelief in the medicines was the reason. In the bargain, I stopped taking Ayurvedic medicines too. Due to heavy workload, I started going for yoga classes - one of the finest and oldest stressbusters. I decided to change my workplace and joined another school.
In the second half of 2017, my husband and I moved to a better workplace at the same time. Hence that year, Diwali break was very special for us. After Diwali break, in the month of October, I resumed work in my new school. Amidst the regular routine I d,eeply missed my friends.
Sickness trapped me, mood swings became frequent and I suffered bodyache, headache and fever. In the very second month of my new job, I started taking leave. Something very weird was happening to me. The stress of being absent at the workplace was demotivating me.
In the evening, while having snacks with my husband, we discussed about my sickness. We both discovered that I missed my menstrual cycle. He sensed that all my health issues could be related to pregnancy and suggested that I do a urine pregnancy test. I had deep grudges against the pregnancy test. When I was undergoing the treatment, I was always asked to do these tests and the results were always negative. That one red line on the pregnancy test kit was actually etched on my heart in such a way that I never wanted to use that instrument and see those lines. I firmly said no for the test.
Every day I used to say no with some explanation that I will get my periods by night or early morning. Every passing day, my sickness was going from bad to worse and I decided to go to my physician. My physician gave me some painkillers. He even asked me if I am pregnant. I laughed in my heart and told him a firm ‘no’. But I also told him that I had forgotten my previous period date. I took his medicine and got temporary relief. And to my surprise, I still didn’t get my periods.
I still remember the D-day. It was a Sunday. We usually go for a movie or visit a mall followed by lunch on Sundays. But that Sunday, we chose to be home due to my sickness. Morning I behaved like a small child. Looking at my behaviour, my husband decided to take me out on one condition – that I will do the pregnancy test. I wanted to take pills to get my period as I was feeling heavy and lethargic. My husband however said a big ‘No’.
Later in the evening on our way back home, we purchased a pregnancy test kit. My husband asked me to do the test that very moment. I did the test but didn't see the result and threw the wrapper in the dustbin. To my surprise, my husband checked and told me there are two lines! I knew what it indicated and rushed to him and saw two dark red lines. I could not believe my eyes. I thought that was just not possible with me. I removed the wrapper from the dustbin and read the instructions again and again. I thought to myself the company must have changed their result procedure - two lines for negative and one for positive. To my surprise it was confirmed – I had finally conceived!
Next day, I messaged my infertility expert doctor to give her the breaking news. He suggested a HCG pregnancy test. After that test, he gave the green signal that I have a confirmed and healthy pregnancy. That day I got to know that my little 6 week-old baby is in my womb.
I got answers to my prayers. I was overwhelmed with joy and confused at the same time. Again the confusion and disbelief because after these many years of failures I doubted, ‘will this pregnancy remain healthy throughout?’ Many more such questions came to my mind.
It's known to everyone that first trimester is very crucial. Those first three months I was under tremendous pressure. I left my job just to avoid any kind of complications. Being at home was also difficult, so I started listening to music and mantras just to keep my mind calm and positive. Each day was passing with hope and faith. With all of these there was the strong support of my loving husband. At the end of my first trimester, an appointment with my gynaecologist reconfirmed my pregnancy and I was feeling out this world. “Birthing is the most profound initiation to spirituality a woman can have,” says Robin Lim. Each day I was growing, becoming strong and becoming a mother. Everyday was special. Every hour was wonderful, every minute was fruitful, every second was blissful and my little one a blessing, growing inch by inch in my womb. These 9 months were full of excitement and anticipation.
And finally, I gave birth to my little one. I read somewhere “Babies are bits of star-dust blown from the hand of God. Lucky is the woman who knows the pangs of birth for she has held a star,” says Larry Barretto.
My star was born! Vedansh.
