Gifting Ideas for Newborn Babies
Are you confused about what gift to give to a newborn baby in your family? You can gift clothes, toys, baby gear, baby nursery essentials, jewellery, baby bags, etc. anything that will be useful for the baby and the parents. Here are some ideas on what to gift the little bundle of joy.
1. Clothes
Depending upon whether it is a boy or a girl you can choose the clothing items accordingly. Most of us prefer pink-coloured clothes for girls and blue-coloured for boys. You will get sets of clothes in the store for gifting purposes, or you can order them on the Firstcry app. You can also gift sets of mittens, booties, baby caps, and little baby shoes. Gift the clothes depending on the season; if its summer you can gift light clothes, and if its winter you can gift them warm clothes like jackets, sweaters, etc.
2. Jewellery
You can gift a gold or platinum chain, baby rings, small anklets or bangles. If you cannot make up your mind, you can simply gift a silver or a gold coin.
3. Baby Gear
Baby gear items that can be gifted include carrycot, baby car seat, cradle, rockers, baby carrier, walkers, etc. Carrycots and baby carriers will be very helpful for the parents to carry their babies wherever they go.
4. Baby Skincare Items
You can get a set of baby skincare items anywhere for gifting purposes in the brand you like. These sets include a baby moisturising lotion, baby soap and shampoo, baby talcum powder, etc.
5. Toys
You can gift baby rattles, soft toys, musical toys or play gyms and playmats.
6. Nursery
You can gift nursery essentials like bedding sets, quilts, baby blankets, sleeping bags, mosquito nets, storage, baby cribs, baby cots, and baby neck supporters. You can also gift diaper bags for the mother to keep all the baby essentials to use while travelling.

Conventional DwPT Vs Painless DaPT Vaccine
My blog aims to address the many dilemmas parents, especially us mothers, go through at various stages while raising our child. This post is about one of the very first choices I had to make regarding my son's preventive healthcare.When our paediatrician told that my son's next vaccination would be DPT and we could opt either for a painless dose or a normal one, I was confused. Being a person who likes to be aware of the repercussions of my actions, I took it upon myself to read up on as much information I could find; difference between the two types, ways of administration, required follow-up, side- effects, pain, fever and even the cell structure of the antigens. I even consulted many moms with children of roughly the same age.The information that I gathered is summarised below as a quick reference guide:
1 . Painless dose is not literally painless. There will be pain of the prick, yes but mostly no fever, redness, and swelling. On the other hand, after the conventional dose, the child is more likely to develop all of the above side effects and require anti paramedic drugs, ice pack on swelling, pain during leg movement and probably a sleepless or, at the very least, an extremely disturbed night.2. The child may be slightly sluggish for a day after the painless dose but would be spared most of the above stated side effects of the normal dose.3. The outer shell of pertussis antigen is removed in order to make the dose painless that is why the name DaP( anticellular Pertussis)T, reducing its efficacy slightly compared to normal ones; as indicated by a majority of Indian research literature.4. The painless dose costs more than the conventional with a difference of almost 1500-2000 INR.
I went for the conventional doses of DPT for all his schedules as I perceived it to have better immunity benefits. I would also like to tell you that the two days post all his DwPT schedules were the most difficult, both for him and me. He always had high grade fever, pain, redness and all the conventional dose's side effects and wouldn't settle until lifted on the shoulder and carried around. We are past that now, with him smoothly beyond his second birthday.I would like to suggest all the mothers out there, who are faced with a similar dilemma, to trust your gut instincts and, more importantly, your child's primary paediatrician.Have faith, don't second-guess, don't feel judged for the choice that you make.Just give your child extra love, hugs and cuddles and all will be well in roughly 36 hours.Happy parenting and decision making.

5 Awesome Reasons to go Nutty Over Nuts
Time and again, health experts have stressed on nuts being the best snacking option for weight-watchers. But did you know that other than being the perfect snack, there are innumerable health benefits of walnuts, almonds, cashews, etc? Find out what these are and include them in your diet.
What’s your idea of the perfect snack? If you’ve been munching on chips and fries to fight hunger pangs, it’s time you ditch them and go for nuts. Not only are they one of the best ways to keep off those extra kilos, but their nutritional content gives you all the more reason to reach out for them.
Discover the Nutritional Values of Nuts
1. Walnuts- Great for the Heart and the Brain
Did you know that walnuts are extremely beneficial for you? They contain an amino acid called L-arginine that’s great for your heart. Walnuts are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, said to aid in brain function. If you have high cholesterol, walnuts can help bring it down and regulate it. So with the amazing health benefits of walnuts, you don’t need that fattening piece of pie or bag of chips to satisfy hunger!
2. Cashew nuts- Boosters of Iron and Good Cholesterol
One of the most popular nuts, cashews can do wonders for your hair, being rich in minerals like iron, zinc and copper. The high iron content gives you more reason to snack on them, especially if you’re anemic. An important health benefit of cashew nuts is that they increase good cholesterol in your body and take care of your heart, due to presence of monounsaturated fatty acids. Including them in your diet may lower your risk of developing gallbladder ailments.
3. Almonds- Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar Regulator
Keep your blood pressure in check by eating almonds as they increase the amount of alpha-tocopherol in the blood, which regulates pressure. Being rich in fibre, almonds also improve digestion. When mixed with milk, they’re help control blood sugar levels, improve bone health and help in managing weight. Besides the health benefits of almonds, you get to enjoy glowing skin and beautiful hair, thanks to vitamin E.
4. Hazelnuts- Fight Birth Defects and Minimise Cardiac Diseases
If you’re expecting, you have another reason to reap the health benefits of hazelnuts. With high levels of folate that help resolve neural tube defects that newborns may be susceptible to. They also help prevent anemia. Eating hazelnuts reduces the risk of cardiac diseases and cancer as they’re loaded with flavonoids, carotenoids and proanthocyanidins.
5. Peanuts- Rich in Proteins and Polyphenols
Peanuts are delicious and loved by all. They’re a great snacking option for pregnant women and growing children as they’re packed with proteins. They’re also high in polyphenolic antioxidants and reduce the production of carcinogenic nitrous amines responsible for stomach cancer. However, not everyone can enjoy the health benefits of peanuts due to allergies, so make sure that you and your family don’t have any.
Though nuts are healthy and beneficial, snacking on them endlessly isn’t healthy. Too much of anything is bad and this holds true here as well. Ask your doctor or dietician for the recommended quantity of different types of nuts that you should consume, based on your age, weight, lifestyle and medical history. Read more
