Shanti Dhawan

My little one is a toddler now and keeping me on my toes! Looking back, I realize that gender doesn't matter at all, the joy of motherhood is same. Don't stress about diet tricks, just cherish this phase.

My MIL told me not to use scissors or sew during eclipse times, which is a common belief. Other than that, she was happy to let me stitch baby clothes! Just don't strain your back.

Congrats! First thing is to start folic acid immediately if you haven't. I remember being so anxious in my first month, checking my tissue every time I peed. Did anyone else also feel this constant fear in the very beginning?

No bump yet, babe! You'll just look a bit bloated like after a heavy lunch, so don't stress too much about showing early.

Actually, packet milk like Amul is pasteurized so it is completely safe. When I asked the chief nutritionist at Cloudnine hospital, she told me that any pasteurized packet milk is fine as long as we boil it properly. You can also double check with your doctor during your next visit.
