Being a first time mom is challenging. As you want the best for your baby, a mother's, an aunt's , or a sister's advise on how to handle different things helps a lot.it start actually from day one.the best advice I got from my mom to keep the child away from mobile was to introduce him with books. I bought few with birds,animals , flowers, vegetables and abc . And to my surprise, he loves them a lot. He can spend hours seeing/talking to them.so thank you Maa!

Yes it's a big challenge to raise child and if you have two kids then you have to face challenges now and then.

we face challenges are making them eat healthy food, teach them to follow healthy habits, give them equal importance and make both kids feel special, take them to play and many more.

we have to give attention to both kids and if age difference less between two kids then it's really difficult. if both kids starts crying at same time we just can't decide whom to give priority.

We are living a life in this era of monstrous internet and smart phones that getting away from its addiction is nearly impossible. Being a mother myself, I find it extremely challenging to keep myself off from this mean machine. Censoring Screen time has been my weapon against this menace. I have seen children addicted to phones and parents happily complying to the demands of their children to have a feel good factor. With my eleven months old baby, I strictly follow my mom s mantra , which might appear to be of old school type but has been immensely helpful now. No learning through mobiles. Books were, are and will always be the best friend anyone can ever have. Inculcate reading habits and discourage the menace of mobile phones so that we nurture well read and good human beings for ourselves and our society and country.

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.. 😊

True, we forget all our pain to see our baby playing actively ❤️

Dear friends becoming mother is the greatest pleasure of any woman and I think any lady would happily undergo any challenges be it financial or physical or emotional strain.
In my case it's a double challenge as with Grace of God I have twins one baby boy & baby girl who were born premature & underweight,my first challenge was to increase their weight,as soon as they completed 4 months my another challenge was my kids in PICU as they got RSV infection causing breathlessness & fall in oxygen levels from which they both recoverd, unfortunately the vaccine for same is not available in India.
Recently I realized being less immune they are prone for infections,so I realized its going to be challenge till their immunity improves.
I wonder how woman who have physical or mentally challenged kids manage.
So,all said & done I thank God for giving me healthy babies and with all the facilities why can't we manage ,when our mothers could bring us up in days were people were reluctant to use diapers & hardly any vaccines, I think I am blessed & he will give me all the strength to bring up my kids in the best way I can.Yes I do thank my mother who very well takes care of one of my babies & guides me at every step,and staying alone is unimaginable .
