Massages and Therapies

Go for regular body massages and deep tissue massages to heat up your body and remove fat.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding will help you lose most of the unwanted belly fat.

Good food and Nutrition.

I know most people will have their own advice on this. But cut the sugars and the junk food and stick to a balanced diet. Eat atleast 2-3 hours before sleep.

Start your day with warm water and lemon.

Add the following food to your diet

6 Tips to Keep It Stylish During Pregnancy

Posted on November 13, 2018 by admin

By Rebecca Siggers,

Among the many worries than an expecting mother may have, looking fashionable during your term doesn’t need to be one of them. Given the right advice and fashion insights, any mum can stay stylish no matter where they’re going or what they’re doing. Ditch the dingy, drooping clothing resembling a tent in your attempt to hide your pregnant belly and read on to learn how to step out in style. Here are 6 tips to keep it stylish during pregnancy.

Stick to Your Size

There is no need to go out and buy maternity clothing in any size other than your own. Maternity clothes are specifically designed to match your frame while leaving ample room for your expanding bump and boobs. Stick to your normal size and you won’t have an oddly misshapen profile of your back, arms, and shoulders. Large clothing makes you look much larger than you really are in all the areas you don’t want people looking at. Tracksuits and stretched out slacks are for your eyes only. You don’t need to wear clothes like that outside. It only knocks your confidence.

Wear Form Fitting Fashion

If you wear stretchy clothing in areas which benefit from the accentuation then you’ll be able to stay stylish no matter where you may be heading. Leggings and T shirts are assets to any mother-in-waiting. Your bigger bust gives you a wide selection of new fashion to try while most moms only experience a swelling of the thighs which leaves stretch leggings as a great choice. Simply pair them with a designer T shirt or underneath a lofty skirt for endless style options. Maternity jeans are another great example of prime form-fitting fashion which works well during pregnancy, as well as tights and long stretch dresses. Continue reading →

Show the Beauty of Your Bump

Form-fitting clothing doesn’t need to remain exclusive to your boobs and legs. Showing off your bump can be one of the best parts of pregnancy, helping you feel sexy and comfortable at the same time. Try a stretchy dress in a soft, breathable material which highlights your entire figure including your baby bump. Long stretch dresses and maxi split dresses work very well at highlighting your bump while stealing attention away from all the areas which you’d rather prefer to stay unnoticed. If you’re feeling reluctant try a long stretch dress with long sleeves and a horizontal striped design to accentuate your baby bump while slimming your appearance at the same time.

Flowing & Form-Fitting Maxi Split Dresses

The comfort and superior style of maxi split dresses make them a highly popular choice for fashion-conscious mother-to-be’s. Maxi split dresses are form fitting just beneath the bust while cut to flow freely toward the bottom. A high split gives you freedom of movement and adds a stylish touch, while maxi dresses with any neckline or sleeve type can be found in almost any design, fabric or color. Delivering great breathability for your bump with no constriction and the flexibility to dress up or down for casual or formal events, maxi split dresses are awesome for pregnant mothers. They accentuate your bust while following your form in just the right way.

Palette Selection is Important

Earthy tones and neutral colors work best when picking out slimming maternity wear. As always, black is a straightforward choice to cut off the appearance of weight off ever-so-slightly, but you can pull off a complete look in any neutral tone as look as you match the shade and hue across other clothing worn together. Earthy tones and neutrals work very well as a base for any maternity wardrobe allowing you to mix and match with minimal difficulty. These colors are ever-versatile.

Always Pick Adaptable Maternity Wear

While pregnant, all that you need is a core selection of clothing which can be customized with other items in your wardrobe. You don’t need to go out and buy all new bras and underwear when a few extenders will breathe new life into any brassier. If you stick to clothing which doesn’t veer away from your conventional fashion sense then you’re on the right track. Rather than buying a whole maternity suit try getting one or two dresses for functions and perhaps a pair of jeans. A selection of stretchy T-shirts goes far further than a single suit and can be worn around the house once your little one has arrived.

Stylish & Comfortable

No matter what wardrobe you decide on ultimately, don’t make the mistake of sacrificing style for comfort. Try to pay attention to the subtler aspects of style and pregnancy. Your posture and skin care routine all make an impact on your overall look.

If you “wear” your bump properly by selecting the right maxi split dress, midi, or long stretch dress, while keeping your skin radiant, hair healthy and holding posture, your beauty will shine through every aspect of your appearance.

My Review Of Chicco Toothbrush

Posted on November 6, 2018 by Varda Agrawal

By- Varda Agrawal

What a beautiful sight it is to see small pearl like tooth coming up in the mouth of little one! Yes indeed it is …

But the real part of the parenting starts after that. I am saying so because it is very hard to get your kids to brush their teeth, especially twice a day as recommended by the dentists.

My experience of getting my kids to brush their teeth was a mixed one.

My elder one is four years old & younger is almost two, and I have been using Chicco Oral care products for our kids from last two and half year.

So here is my review of Chicco Toothbrush

A LITTLE ABOUT CHICCO

Since 1951 Chicco Baby Products is a Italian company that now sells products in more than 100 countries and is renowned for their top quality. Chicco has products that shall suit all the requirements of a child.

COMPANY CLAIMS FOR CHICCO TOOTH BRUSH

  • Small rounded head, ideal for a child’s mouth
  • Ergonomic handle covered in soft, non-slip rubber for extra grip
  • Soft and Non-slip Rubber Grip
  • Extra-soft bristles to massage the gums and clean the teeth

MY EXPERIENCE

When my elder son was a toddler, I used a different brand brush in the beginning. I was little hesitant to hand him over the tooth brush to brush his teeth. I thought the bristles will hurt his soft gums. But as we all know toddlers are very interested to do things on their own. I was stuck in the situation.

Then I came across Chicco Tooth Brush. I googled about it.

I came to know that it has a rounded head, soft bristles…. I immediately thought of giving it a try.

And I was totally happy with the difference it made. Both my kids love brushing their teeth on their own, I am not at all worried about letting them brush their teeth after-which comes Mumma’s turn. I do make sure that they have brushed their teeth well.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT CHICCO TOOTHBRUSH

  • Broad non slippery handle which is easy to hold for kids.
  • Soft bristles
  • Rounded head
  • Different toothbrushes available for toddlers & older kids.

WILL I RECOMMEND IT

YES

I will definitely like to recommend it to my momma readers. I have been using Chicco Toothbrush for years now & I am totally satisfied with it.

How Cute Soft Toys have a positive impact on a Child’s Mind

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Varda Agrawal

By-Alastair Gilbertson

cute-soft-toys

There are so many things that have a negative impact on our minds. Things like unhealthy processed food, people judging each other and selfish desires. However, we always have a choice with us to choose positive over negative. Leave adults, even children are affected by the good side and the bad side of life and it’s up to us to change the direction. So let’s start with a positive note on how cute soft toys can have a positive impact on a child’s mind. Continue reading →

Let’s learn how parents can use affordable cute soft toys to bring positive changes in a child.

Gift a soft toy

If your child is having mood swings and you want to make your child happy, simply surprise him with his favourite soft teddy bear and see the shift in his mood. Just like adults, children too have mood swings, and stuffed animals and teddy bears can bring some calmness in their lives.

Create a playful environment

When your child’s room is untidy, he will not enjoy playing in a messy environment. You can give a touch of cleanliness and watch him play with soft plush toys. This clearly showcases that environment is a vital factor to our mental health.

Develops interpersonal skills

Humans by nature are social animals and they need to communicate in  find comfort in humans but in their cute plush toys. Kids are often possessive about their toys as they value them and consider them as important as their family members.

Online shopping for kids

In the past, parents really had a hard time buying plush toys for kids, but with the invention of technology and online shopping, things have become easy for parents. They have a wide variety of toys to choose from. Everything is available online, even if you are looking for plush toys for babies, you’ll find a mammoth collection of toys for babies. And, not just usual toys that are plain and boring, but toys that will fascinate you with their design, make and features.

Introvert to extrovert

Did you know cute soft toys can transform introverts into outgoing beings? Well, it’s a fact since everybody needs an outlet to express their emotions, be it anger, sadness or happiness. However, some kids are born introverts and it takes a lot of effort from the parents to bring their child out. Give your child some alone time with a soft toy and watch him express himself. You as a parent can encourage your child to share his secrets with his favourite toy and then see the difference. It is truly said that things that don’t have life in them, can give life to another.

Hence, keep your child’s mind healthy by developing good habits in him and encouraging him to play outdoor games. Also, if you want your child to be mentally strong, say kind words to him, be polite and believe in his abilities.

Essential Baby Skin Care Techniques You Should Know

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Varda Agrawal

By Cindy,

sharon-mccutcheon-1073663-unsplash

Aside from giving them the right amount of nutrients and preventing any possible risks, parents must also take ample time in ensuring their baby’s get proper skin care. Since a baby’s skin is sensitive, extra care and protection is needed to prevent any possible skin problems. Unlike an adult’s skin problems, which can be solved with products like Skinfood, there are limitations on the kind of chemicals that should come in contact with an infant’s skin. Continue reading →

In the case of newborn babies, their skin requires time to adjust to its new environment since they still need time to grow. Within the first few months, a baby’s skin can be prone to allergies which can cause discomfort and even possible skin concerns in the future.

Here are some steps on how to take care of a baby’s skin:

BATHE REGULARLY

 Bathing a baby keeps unwanted dirt and other toxins away from their sensitive skin. It also prevents itchiness and potential allergies. Here are some tips to remember on how to bathe your baby:

1. Getting Prepared

Parents who are unsure of what products to use on their baby can seek advice from a paediatrician. Generally speaking, a baby’s skin is extremely sensitive so it’s best to avoid shampoos and soaps that contain harsh chemicals. Fortunately, there are various baby shampoos and soaps available which are made with gentle formulas to ensure no allergic reaction occurs.

2. Keep Water Warm

Ensure the water is lukewarm and not hot by using your elbow. Fill the tub with no more than 2-3 inches of water. Prevent your baby from getting cold by continuously pouring water over their shoulders. Dip a clean washcloth in soapy water and use it to wash the baby’s scalp with shampoo. For the face, use a moist cotton ball and gently dab on areas. Avoid getting water in their nostrils, mouth, and eyes.

3.Dry Them Off

Wrap baby in a hooded towel afterwards and bring them to a room, make sure to turn off all fans and air conditioners beforehand to avoid chills. Apply gentle baby lotion. Remember to ask your doctor for any recommendations on what is safe for the baby.

CHANGING DIAPERS 

Babies need general diaper switches since they are unable to relieve and clean themselves regularly. Prolonged exposure to bacteria in a used diaper can lead to skin irritation and discomfort. Prevent your baby from these risks and keep their skin safe with these handy tips:

1. Be Mindful Of Diapers

Not all diapers are made the same since the materials used in some can be irritating to the skin. Make sure to buy diapers that allow breathing room in the child’s sensitive areas to avoid locking in bacteria. Some mothers also recommend switching between diapers and nappies to avoid prolonged exposure to diaper adhesives.

2. Clean Between Changes

Between diaper changes make sure to wipe the baby’s skin gently with unscented baby wipes or a moistened towelette. Pat dry and wait for a few moments for the skin to be completely dry before applying diaper cream. Allow the cream to dry as well before putting on a fresh new diaper.

SKIN CARE FOR DIFFERENT SEASONS:- 

SPF Care

Newborn babies should not be exposed to direct sunlight until they are 6 months old. Once they have reached this age, apply SPF on their skin 30 minutes before heading out. Make sure to ask your doctor which products they recommend as certain brands may be too harsh for a baby.

Use Loose & Comfortable Clothing

Since a baby’s sweat glands are underdeveloped, they can become very susceptible to heat rash. Parents who are ready to take their little one out should make sure to dress them in loose and comfortable clothing plus a hat to shield them from the sun’s rays.

Winter Care

During winter, consider investing in a cool mist humidifier in your nursery to keep the air moist since dry weather can irritate a baby’s skin. Remember to clean the humidifier regularly to prevent mould from growing. Make sure to keep your baby hydrating as well and give them lots of water.

 Taking care of a baby’s skin is an essential step in making sure they will have healthy skin as they grow older. While there are various products available on the market, parents must remember to research on certain items before making a purchase since not all products benefit each person. Additionally, parents should also schedule regular visits to their doctor and ask for skin care recommendations..

How to Make Your Kids More Socially Active

Posted on September 25, 2018 by Varda Agrawal

 

BY- MONICA 

people-1560569_1920

Parent wants their kid to grow into a happy and a well-adjusted adult but it’s a tough job to teach them social skills. Reports and studies have shown that babies are born social but interpersonal skills are something they learn while growing up. Socialising is an art that one masters every single day of growing up and parents are the emotion coaches of this journey. Continue reading →

A kid’s social skills and interaction with the world around them forms a major part of their success and happiness. In fact, this is even more important than their academic results. Not only does it help build a strong self-esteem but also helps them rehearse social situations and role-playing ahead of time.

Here are some guiding tips on how to make your kids more socially active.

It’s very important for kids to communicate – verbally or non-verbally. Your child needs to know that they are free to talk, question, ask and communicate their needs, ideas and beliefs. As parents, talk to them every day. Remember to use words like ‘please’, ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’, etc. while interacting with them. This communication in the house will help your child express, interact, and respond to social stimulus outside the house.

Invite friends home

One of the few places where children tend to open up and interact are kid’s parties. Meeting and greeting kid’s and adults from all walks of life is a great way to induce social skills in your kids. Well, a kid’s party is not the only way out. Inviting their or your friends’ over – without a purpose – is a good way to encourage friendships (and the idea of friendship) among kids. Being in their comfort zone will bring out the best of social skills in your kids.

Empathise

It’s a fact that empathy plays a huge role in building successful interpersonal skills and relationships. Kids receiving empathy from adults tend to develop empathy for others at the earliest. Empathising and being warm go hand in hand. It’s critical for parents to talk to their kids about their feelings without trivialising them.

Teach emotions

Teach your kid to express emotions and tell them its okay to be emotional. Let them imitate emotions of various kinds – joy, anger, excitement, nervousness, sadness, danger, weirdness etc. Make a game out of it and ask them to identify different smileys and emotions. This activity will not only help them express better and differentiate between emotions but will also not let them get confused while socially interacting with kids and adults.

Do not hover

Children need close supervision. But there is a thin line between supervising and hovering over. With kids growing older, parents need to back off a bit. Hovering over kids 24*7 robs them of the chance to develop social skills on their own. You need to know when to enter and when to exit.

In the end, it’s important to understand that not every kid is born with the same skills. While some kids are naturally more socially adept, others are not. A parent plays an important role in a child’s interpersonal development. Take a more active approach to build social skills in your kid. Be a model of social grace and help them build relationships.

The Best Baby Sleep Safety Practices For New Parents

Posted on September 11, 2018 by Varda Agrawal

The place parents count on to be the safest spot for their baby can be the most dangerous. Approximately 3,500 infants die every year because of sleep-related reasons.

We’ve put together this short guide to help educate parents about the nighttime dangers their babies face. Here are some of the facts parents should know. Continue reading →

Overheating is Bad

Parents constantly worry their little bundle of joy is too cold. It can be tempting to think your baby is a lot more fragile than it is. It’s safer for babies to be in a cooler room with a light sleepsack or swaddling than it is to be overdressed and bundled up in a hot room.

Overheating is one of the risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS by definition is an unexplained death that happens suddenly in a child under the age of 1. More than 90 percent of those who die from SIDS are less than six months old.

To lessen the risk of a baby dying from SIDS from overheating, keep their bedroom set at a cooler temperature, like 68 degrees. Use a light blanket for swaddling or a sleepsack when you put them down at night.

No Pillows or Stuffed Animals

Pillows and stuffed animals are for older children or adults — not for babies. Pillows and stuffed animals both play a huge suffocation risk for infants.

Infants should never go to sleep with a pillow near their heads. It’s too easy for them to sink into them.

And they won’t even know a stuffed animal is present in their crib anyway. They won’t get any enjoyment out of it whatsoever.

Remember, it doesn’t matter if pillows or stuffed animals look cute or how many times you see a precious-looking crib stuffed full of them in a movie or on a television show. Looks can be deceiving — those pillows and stuffed animals can be deadly.

Back to Sleep

It’s much safer for a baby to sleep on their backs than on their stomachs. When you put them down in their cribs for naps or at bedtime, always remember that rule.

The American Academy of Pediatrics started recommending back sleeping instead of stomach sleeping in 1992 and since that time, death from SIDS has dropped by more than half.

Sleeping on its back will allow a baby to have more fresh air and will make overheating less likely as well.

You needn’t worry about a baby choking on spit-up if they’re sleeping on their back — they’re perfectly capable of turning their head to protect their airways.

5 Smart Productivity Hacks for Mompreneurs

Posted on September 10, 2018 by Guest

By Eva Benoit,

Moms are often responsible for managing the nitty-gritty aspects of daily living and knowing what consumer goods make life easier. For this reason, they’re often brilliant innovators and inventors who create items that simplify life. If you’re looking to start a business, here are some ways you can get started and stay productive.

1. Set up the perfect workspace

Is there a spare room in your house? Take advantage of that and turn it into your workspace. You can use just a simple desk for organization and to direct your business from there. If you don’t have a spare room, you can work either in your bedroom or in another place in your house where you can focus.

Eliminate distractions, or at least minimize them. You can do this by investing in some noise-cancelling headphones or by keeping your workspace clean enough for you to focus. Make sure you have the right equipment that will give you the best results. If you have a product-based business, it’s important to have effective equipment that can help you produce whatever you’re creating. Continue reading →

2. Delineate work and family time

The thing about working from home is that it’s easy to blend everything together. Set a schedule specifically designed for when you are the most productive. Tell your family members that it is your time to work and that you can’t be interrupted during that time. This will help you focus more on the task at hand. Then, when you’re not working, you can put all your focus on your family.

Of course, this is easier said than done. It helps to give your children things to do, or to hire a babysitter who can take care of your children for a couple of hours while you work from home. Find different methods and don’t feel guilty about the time you put into working.

3. Share responsibilities with your partner

Your partner is there to help take care of your children. It’s a team effort, so communicate clearly to your partner what you want and share responsibilities. Your partner can help out with cooking and cleaning, as well as playing with your children and making sure they get household chores and homework done. If your partner has a day job, it will help if your partner looks after your children at night while you work. Your partner can help you maintain consistent office hours.

4. Set small goals

As you start your business, it’s important to set small, achievable goals to help you keep going in the long run. Set daily and weekly goals that can help you accomplish monthly goals and so on. The more small goals you accomplish, the more confident you’ll be in your business.

5. Source business ideas from friends

You don’t have to learn all the lessons of entrepreneurship by hitting roadblocks and learning hard lessons. According to the business magazine Inc, other moms who have their own businesses can give you excellent advice about setting realistic expectations. They can be a great resource to bounce ideas off of, and they will know how to help you best. You can talk with your own friends, but you can also find social media groups that are designed for “Mompreneurs” like yourself.

With your hectic life, you may not feel like you have enough time to start a small business. However, as you set office hours and make a workspace for yourself, you’ll be able to get things done and grow faster. Set small goals, share responsibilities with your partner, and set boundaries. It’s a balancing act for sure, but it’s a worthwhile balancing act.

This time around my husband & our little son who is one & half year old were down with cough & cold.

The very first thing, I like to do to give relief from discomfort caused by cough & cold is rub on generous quantity of cold balm on chest & neck & breathe in steam. It works like magic.

But I could not do so, for my little one, as all the cough & cold balms have petroleum & menthol in it. The only thing I could do is depend on the handful of oral medicines.

Nasobuddy Cough & Cold Balm came to me as a complete solution to my problem & today I will give you a review of the same.

 MY EXPERIENCE WITH NASOBUDDY COUGH & COLD BALM

As mentioned earlier, my husband & younger son were down with severe cough & cold. Though both of them were having medical treatment for it, they could not get relief from congestion & stuffy nose. It was very difficult for them to have a comfortable night. Getting my toddler to sleep was next to impossible, as I could not rub his congested chest with cough & cold balm. Most of the cough & cold balms available in the market have menthol & petroleum in it, which are not good for kid’s delicate skin.

Nasobuddy Cough & Cold Balm, is claimed to be 100 % natural & ayurvedic preparation. I decided to give it a try!

With little hesitance, I rubbed it on my toddler’s chest & neck, before putting him down to bed.

To my surprise he had a much better sleep that night!

My Observations

  • First thing I did after taking the container in hand, is turned it around and checked the label. What a relief it was to my heart knowing that it actually did not contain menthol, artificial fragrances, petroleum… It is truly allnatural product.
  • The container is seal packed.
  • It has mild soothing fragrance because of 6 essential oils included in the formula.
  • It did not cause any irritation on the little ones skin.
  • It had quiet immediate effect & it also lasted for long.

My Recommendation

Now onwards, Nasobuddy Cough & Cold Balm has a irreplaceable place in my medical cabinet. And I will also recommend you to use it to relieve your family from cough & cold discomforts.

You can buy Nasobuddy Cough & Cold Balm from Amazon  and Firstcry.
