Grandma’s Tips To Being Pregnant!

2 min read

Well, we present below some tips from Grandma’s from all over the world and being passed on generations to generations.  We hope you could use some of them, and smile while reading others!!

  •   Just don’t go about planning and planning. Do it. The more science has advanced the more doubts one has.
  •   Don’t take away all the fun from your physical relationship. Its not a clock work.
  •   Stay cheerful and stay happy. No one likes cribby, crying babies!!
  •   Eat right, think of the baby growing inside you and swallow your taste buds.
  •   Don’t just eat!! Now with machines, you don’t need to do any housework, yet take a walk, exercise, and cook for yourself sometimes. Our times were easier….all on our own,,, J
  •   Everyone around you understands you are pregnant, and maybe uncomfortable. But its your pregnancy and you have to take care of yourself, – first and on priority
  •   If you want a baby shower, make sure you have fun and are able to relax. Ask people to leave all the difficult birth stories behind!
  •   Meditate. Yoga. Relax. You are not the only one, neither your child is the only one!
  •   A baby does not need everything available in the malls. Shop sensibly, shop only for the necessities, and shop economically.
  •   Labor is indeed hard, but is manageable. Panic is your greatest enemy.
  •   Pack up only the required stuff for the hospital. It is not an exhibition place!
  •   Small sizes outgrow babies very soon. Just that you know!
  •   Trust your instincts. You are the mother, you will always know.
  •   Babies need love most of all. Love them from your heart, and everything else smoothens out.
  •   No two kids are same. There is no science behind comparison. It is an act of foolishness.
  •   Raise the baby like partners, do your best as a parent.

Well, that’s all from the Granny’s kitty!!

Mental Health Tips for New Parents

Becoming a parent is overwhelming. It's often something that we spend a long time looking forward to and preparing for - sometimes, far longer than the 40 weeks of pregnancy. But, no matter how prepared you think you are, when your baby arrives, everything changes. It's never quite what we expect, even when we're welcoming home our second or even third babies. It's more exciting, it's more work, and it's definitely more exhausting. It's just more. New parenthood is like an assault on your emotions, as well as your hormones. You are busy trying to take care of a new life, your hormone levels are off the charts, your whole world is turned upside down, and any hopes of a good night's sleep are long forgotten. It's no surprise that your mental health might take a hit. Here's a look at some of the things that you can do to boost your mental health in those astounding first days of parenthood. Rest When You Can One of the most unsettling elements of being a new parent is the tiredness. You thought you'd been tired before, but not like this. Even if your newborn sleeps well, they'll be up at least a couple of times in the night for feeds and changes, and you are unlikely to get more than....

Everybody Look at Your Hands

How to encourage children to wash their hands   Being a parent during the COVID-19 pandemic is incredibly difficult. That’s not exactly a secret: everything from school to social engagements to birthdays has been fundamentally changed in 2020. This year it’s all about keeping our kids safe while at the same time allowing them to have as close to a normal childhood as possible. Other than completely locking down at home, there are few options for keeping them virus-free. Masks are playing a critical role in safety for everyone, adults and children alike. That’s why they’re mandatory at most schools and daycare centers, not to mention on playgrounds and other public areas where large numbers of people gather. The other surefire way to keep kids safe is making sure that they wash their hands whenever they enter our homes, and if they frequently use hand sanitizer in public spaces. This all makes sense on paper, but we all know that kids have minds of their own. It is one thing to tell a child that he or she needs to wash their hands, but that doesn’t always mean that they listen. This sort of limit testing is part of a normal childhood, but in 2020, it can have....

Finding Ways to Help Kids Exercise

We all know just how important it is for kids to get their recommended dose of active exercise. It is essential for fundamental development, especially in a child’s early years. Research also has proven that kids who exercise at a young age have a better chance of keeping healthy habits later in their adult life.   Getting enough exercise.   Children have varying degrees of energy. While some have what could almost be called endless energy, others may be more lethargic. This is particularly true today, where there are a range of devices to keep kids sedentary.   From smart phones, tablets, to video games and TV, getting a kid outside can be a challenge. But it’s an important aspect to their wellbeing. Physical activity guidelines outline that children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 years should do 1 hour or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily.   Make exercising fun   While these guidelines may seem impossible for some children, you shouldn’t lose hope! There are ways that can help you integrate exercise into your child’s life. One of the best ways of doing this is disguising physical activity as play.   Below....

What to Feed the Baby in the First Year

The first year is always critical for the new baby. What will she eat, what will she wear, how to keep her safe, vaccinations… these are common questions all first-time parents ask. Food is, of course, very important because it is directly related to the development and the child’s growth. Babies breastfeeding will take between 8 and 12 feedings in a day. Those on formula foods will need between 6 and 10 feeds a day. Usually, solid foods will be introduced when the baby is around 6 months. Always remember, nutrition is key in the 1st year. Make sure to start a healthy eating habit quickly for your infant. But the feeding must always depend on the readiness of a child because every baby is different.     How Often an Infant Must Feed They are still very small, but they can know when feeling full or hungry. Feed her whenever she feels hungry. Each breastfeeding session is usually between 10-15 minutes. Formula and breastfeedings can be done deep into the night as well if the infant wakes up and cries because she is feeling hungry. Some parents add rice cereals to the bottle to make the baby sleep through the night. This is not recommended because it can easily....
