Lockdown:Father -Son bonding


This pandemic might be tough for parents and caregivers due to lots of reasons, managing household, children, office and whatnot.

Living in a metro city doesn’t give you much time with your family. Working parents are not able to give much time to their kids or themselves. So this lockdown is considered as a boon even after so many cons and other days to day challenges.

We look at it with the eyes of a father. They are able to take care and look at the progress of their child, achieving milestones etc. The phrases we hear from them is acha use ye bhi atta hai(he knows this as well), he knows this Woowww!! He just said papa or he just took his first step towards me. So many awe moments and their bonding I have seen.

My son worships his dad, he follows him everywhere in the entire house.

As a mother I have stepped down one step, just to see them bonding, loving, caring for each other.

 Not that we have not faced many problems, not that this pandemic has not given us challenges, but the day ends with a smile instead of worry seeing them together.

Thinking let's take advantage of this time we never would get it back.

Do click pictures, do all the crazy stuff together, dance, sing whatever you can in these difficult time.


 Happy parenting. Stay Safe

Birth giving and it's feeling

It’s good news! The pregnancy test stated I am pregnant. Two red lines turned my world upside down. Happiness, tears, and scary moments were there. Loads of questions and panic-filled moments too.  I first made a call to my husband, thank god for technology. I told him to come home; I was expecting. He was on cloud nine! He wanted to dance, celebrate, and shout to the world that he was going to be a dad. Months passed by, and my pregnancy progressed after a few complications. I delivered a healthy happy child. They say you won’t understand the feeling of being a mother unless you become one.  It’s true, I had a c-section. The doctors delivered the baby, they were saying congratulations, you have delivered a healthy child. I was in utter shock, I asked them if it was a boy or a girl. They said it was a boy. I immediately kissed him. Though it never matter ed if the baby was a boy or girl. We both only wanted a healthy baby nothing else. Days passed by since the two little...

Toddler saying thank you and sorry?

The three magical words? Am I talking about I love you or something else, confused right. No, I am not talking about I love you. What I am writing today about is the three magical words which are 1. Please 2. Sorry 3. Thank you Do we expect someone to say these words when the situation arises, if yes do we ourself say it. If yes that's wonderful to hear and understand why you would expect the same. Now my question, is do we expect our children to say these words. Yes we do always expect them to say sorry or thank you or please, time and when required. So, how do we teach them to say those words. These words are magical because they convey empathy which is the only thing which connects emotions with other person. Children learn from what they hear, you don't have to teach them. There are so many instances I have had my foot in my mouth, I forget my toddler is listening to what I am saying. He picks up all those wrong words first. I wonder and promise myself to be more aware abou...

Formula? BreastMilk

Did I feed my kid Formula or BreastMilk? In my journey of motherhood, the first three days were difficult for feeding.  I had given formula for two days. Wish I had known about the kangaroo feeding method which I could have used for getting the golden hours of milk. Kangaroo process-  The baby and mom get ample amount of skin to skin and the baby is held by someone and made him feed. I feed my kid BreastMilk till the age of 2  and a half years. It was worth the journey and the bonding. Research says no other food or milk can give the kid required nutrition other than BreastMilk. Does that mean, the mother who feeds formula is less of the mother? Absolutely No!  The mother who is breastfeeding or formula feeding has the same amount of love for their kid. There might be various reasons why the kid is formula feed- 1. Mother's health 2.Tongue-tie 3. Allergic to milk 4.  Flat nipple 5. Averted nipple and many more. It doesn't make the motherless of the mother. The k...
