    Facebook Parenting Groups (Qatar & India based)

    December 12, 2016 /

    As a new mother, one of the wonderful things I discovered was the highly happening place called Facebook Groups. I learnt about attachment parenting and natural parenting there. I learnt kitchen hacks and Montessori activities for infants. Also I made friends with new mothers who had the same ideals as I do. With the low organic reach of Facebook pages, FB group are the place to go now ( FB will probably change it soon with adverts or a new algorithm or paid promotions!) I shall list out a few Qatar based and India based parenting groups that has helped me. Do add to the list if you know of any drama…

    5 emotional stages of a mother when her baby falls down

    November 17, 2016 /

    As a first time mother, one of the most nerve wrecking situation is when your baby has an unfortunate fall or a bump on the head. How ever careful you are, it does happen often, especially when they have just started learning how to crawl or walk. Even if you are a calm person otherwise, seeing your child fall forms a lump in your heart. This article outlines the flurry of emotions a mother feels and poke humour at how she often (over) reacts. Panic: My lord. The nerves until the tip of your fingers are tingling and there is a minute or two when you cannot make a positive thought…

    Revised screen time guidelines for children – AAP, 2016

    October 27, 2016 /

    Raising a child today is different from raising a child 5 years ago.  Ipad was just a year old and had not reached every home. Smart phones had just entered the common man’s market. Google Glass and Samsung Gear VR were unheard of. In 5 years, the world of technology has grown by leaps and bounds. IPads and tabs are common in every household. There are as many smartphones in a house as there are people.  Or maybe more. Flat screens adorn the walls of every household. Laptops and PC have not disappeared. Screens are ubiquitous and cannot be avoided So, how can we control screen time for children? Media can…

    25 facts cloth diapering taught me

    October 16, 2016 /

    I have been cloth diapering for almost a year now. When you hear ‘Cloth Diaper’ do not picturize plastic covers and flats with safety pins like what our mothers and grandmothers used. Instead, the modern cloth diapers are trendy  with beautiful prints and are trim diapers made of organic cotton/microfiber/hemp/bamboo cotton, PUL and a few snaps. Delving into the cloth diapering world has taught me some interesting facts for sure. Here are a few. 1. To shop local from small shop owners rather than big corporate . Especially mompreneurs. You are helping a family out. 2. To reduce my carbon print or plastic trail. 3. Organic cotton clothes are better…
