Discussion about Challenges Faced in Raising a Child

I am mother of 11 month old baby.For me it's a start of new jounery of my life which I loved and enjoying a lot. Every day my baby teaches me something new and interesting and make me feel that I am his world .Which is an amazing feeling.Nothing can be best than that.Every time when he tries to walk and fall and again he stand-up to try to walk again realises me that if a baby can make multiple effort to walk than how I can stop with small hurdles of my life.There are so many things which is special about him ..his smile, blinking of his eyes,mamma in his cute voice,his naughtiness....he is my little god I love him a lot

Being a first time mother I have experienced and learnt a lot of new things in raising my son. Right from holding my son in my arms, feeding, giving him a bath, diapering, putting him to sleep and the list is never ending... because every step was new to me.. I thank God for giving me this boon of experiencing motherhood and also my mother for being there at every step when I needed her. it wouldn't have been any easier without my mother's guidance for me.. Also I thank my mother for raising me for who I am today. looking forward to many more new learning challenges in raising my son Jhenkar.

Raising a child is not easy but yes parenthood is a beautiful journey 😊being a single mom , seriously I deal with a lot of difficulties and challenges. But firstcry you make my journey beautiful as I bought all the stuff for my kid only from your site till now and of course buying and buying in future from you only ..as after caesarean a lot of problems arises. Can't go out for shopping for my baby .but you make my challenges so easy.Raising a child is a big challenge but with support of elders everything is possible in parenting and secondly firstcry make it possible..it depends on parents how you shower love to kid by facing all difficulty..I only want to thank firstcry for being with me ...bit emotional this time ... I have no more explanation about challenges . 🙏🏾thanks a lot firstcry you are the best online site ... By sharing with you everything on parenting section I feel so blessed to talk with mommies .

Hy everyone its Pinky Dutta,,raising a child is very much interesting,lovely and the same time very very challenging...its not only though for the first timers ,who does not even know how to grow up a child & learns it along with time & experience..But it\'s also hard for repeaters, because they need give their all babies the particular attention n love too....A carrier oriented women leaves everything thing beyond her baby, if she even joins her carrier after her baby grows up to some couple of months or year..It never be the same for her ever again to go office & handle with the same peace of mind,which she used to have when she wasn\'t a mother.She always be tention for what her baby be doing at home,no matter how carefully he/she has been taken up by maids/relatives by home...Might she choose her carrier again after a while,but still her priority will always be only only & only her baby... I am a working women , staying with my hubby n son alone, have no maid at home.. regularly goes to office ,wakes up early morning,does my households n look after my babies need like fooding,potty, bathing etc..then leaves him at mom\'s home,,after coming back ,I directly goes to my mom\'s home,brings him back to my home & at evening I do turions at home & his father comes home late at night , because he carries his gym after office...And, becomes the most challenging when his father be outstation,(being in Sales profile,this he maximum used to be) & I with my baby need to spend the night all alone during such days,.... Sometime I used to get scold by mom too asap reaching home from office,this happens if my child cries a lot after me or disturbs her naughtyreasily veryyyyy much...Now you,how would somebody feels if she get scold asap reaching home after a hectic day??? But she still I m coreressly thankful to her , because it\'s only she for whom I could build up my carrier again..She is like a god, Thank you Mom...Thank you everyone,, for you all are also enjoying your motherhood..And many might is having the like wise life like me....Thankyou

yes it's true.. we face lots of challenges during upbringing of a child.i am sharing my mother in laws advice which works magically . my sons class teacher used to complain me about his handwriting, reading and other things which he was not able to do as rest of the kids was performing in the class. I put him for tuitions and other classes also but his performance was not improved even i consulted with a doctor also then my mother-in-law guides me that your son doesn't needs any tuition or doctor.. he just needs your time and supervision after that I left my office and look after my son personally. that really works as like a magic.. sometimes we are able to get all earthy materials for our kids except the personal touch which is most important for them.

Raising a child is no doubt challenging but at the same time it's a heavenly experience and the beat part of it is that it brings out childhood back which no other thing in this world is capable to bring. I have no words to describe the relaxation and happiness I feel seeing my baby smiling. I am thankful to my husband for his full cooperation inspite of his busy schedule and my office for granting me CCL for raising my child with utmost care. Since he is my first child, I generally get my knowledge regarding child raising from Firstcry, YouTube , friends and from elders telephonically . Some situations are panicky which makes me rush to paediatrician inspite of assurances from elders that it's normal due to lack of experience from my end. Recently my baby went ill with cough and cold. Paediatrician adviced crocin and nasoclear. But my mother in law advised me to rub warm mustard oil with camphor on baby's feets at sleep time. I combined both the advices and my baby got well in 1 way. Thanks to both.

Currently my baby has developed some rashes to which his doctor has said they are natural and will rectify with time but on advice of my mother in law I am using Figaro oil with camphor for his massage on rash areas. Hope to get the benefit soon.. 😊

Raising children is hard, and any parent who says differently is lying. Parenting is emotionally and intellectually draining, and it often requires professional sacrifice and serious financial hardship.but its really amazing experience of Life
