At times I think I will really miss these cuddles and warmth of her, holding her close to me all times gives such a relief as my baby is safe in my arms. It’s a soothing way for mom and baby both when you both.
Baby wearing with baby carriers build a strong bond between us and as a mom it has given me strength and confidence, make me independent as now I can handle her alone and all the work too.

Can’t thank Baby wearing enough as I was able to keep my baby happy and close, enjoying all moments and my life too.

But as she is growing so fast I miss those little squishy moments, when first time we started baby wearing when she was 2 months old and I was so excited and tensed to try baby wearing with her. I was not aware about the benefits of ergonomic carriers and then one my my mommy friend Tamana introduced me to ergonomic carriers and the benefits. I joined baby wearing India group and finally bought my first carrier Anmol baby carriers SSC

We used a soft towel as insert for her as SSC should be used when baby is 7kg or you can use insert/soft towel.

For my surprise she was happy and we had a society walk and within few minutes my girl was sleeping peacefully in her carrier.

From then we never turned back and our carrier become the most important part of every day life, living in nuclear family we have to balance all alone from kitchen to market and when it’s hurry time and you have a cranky baby crying for carry the best support is carrier just hold them close and you can relax and do all your work while your baby sleeps in your arms.

And now I have tried so many carriers and both of us enjoy every moment of it . So I just want to share some Quick tips when you want to select a baby carrier for yourself.

✔ You can start baby wearing from first month itself as early as day one and can wear as long as your baby like it.
✔Carrier should be ergonomically safe – carrier should be comfortable for both wearer and baby, weight of baby should be equally distributed on shoulder, back and waist of wearer and baby should be sitting comfortably. Their spine should be supported and baby is sitting in M position where hips are below knees.
✔ Fabric- choosing wright fabric is equally important as it should be breathable, so that air flows to the baby. Handwoven fabric is really good.

✔Padded straps and waist is also important as it provide comfort to wearer and baby legs too.
✔Good quality buckles as to ensure baby safety.
✔Nautral colours should be used for fabric as at times baby use to put carrier in mouth.
✔ If you can get extra small pockets it is really good for keeping any necessary items on the go. Anmol carrier have small pockets and I really found it useful.
✔ Easy to wear.

A woman’s body is a blessing and I adore every woman for being so special to give birth to a new life.#Adorewomenhood Sharing some moments of motherhood from the first day of pregnancy.

Pregnancy a period of nine months when you nourish a baby inside you and it’s only a mom who is able to feel what going inside her.
From first trimester when she can’t feel any movements just by test she knows her baby is inside and all she can feel is pregnancy hormones with vomiting, mood swings, nausea, headache and fatigue going through all she is just happy as she knows she is going to be a mom soon and at 6 weeks the first time she heard her heartbeat was the best moment and then 12 weeks and she was able to see her baby’s little hands, legs moving but she yet can’t feel her …watching her baby and her happiness flows in tears.
Slowly moving to second trimester …bit easy one..baby is strong enough growing slowing within her..she can now feel little flutters when baby moves like bubbles and as second trimester ends baby is becoming stronger and big and mommy can feel her moving in her tummy, baby and mommy both enjoying this phase.
Third trimester started with more strong kicks awesome feeling..when you can see your baby moving in your tummy?slowly she is becoming strong and heavy and a little hard for mommy to walk, sleep..acidity takes over..and it’s time baby wants to come out…with a lot of hard times and happy memories mommy hold her bundle of joy in her hands?
Looks like a period of nine months, but for a mom it’s a life long change. She can tell you even moment of her nine months as she had lovely memories attached to every moment.

We love traveling on weekends and with your little one it is super fun. We bought our car last year when my baby was 5 months old and the first thing before going for weekends and outing was buying a car seat for my baby.
It takes time for baby to get use to it but it is the best decision for your little one as safety comes first. Using a car seat is the best way to protect your baby from unintentional injury when traveling by car. We are using car seat from more than a year now, at times it’s not so easy when baby wants to jump out of car seat but you need to calm baby by toys and playing with her/him. You can always carry baby’s favorite toys and snacks so that they are more happy and enjoy traveling. It is a blessing when you plan long road travel with toddler and you need both safety and comfort for you and baby. Just amke sure and read some details before you buy car seat for your baby.

Diapers are essential part of mom’s life, but we really need to think about environment now.
Disposable diapers are bad at environment, they contain ingredients that could harm animals, humans and the environment. They contain polyethylene, petroleum, wood pulp, gelling material, perfume and polypropylene, as well as non-renewable, petroleum-based ingredient and most of all that are costly and full of chemicals.
And on the other hand it’s not good for babies too. Then why we are using it when we have such good eco friendly options for our babies.
We have seen our mothers and grandmothers using cloth for little ones and we know the goodness of using cloth for baby skin then a chemical full diaper. But I can understand the struggle of changing cloth nappies and so we want a solution that give us goodness of cloth and absorbancy of diaper too.
Right time mommies to switch to cloth diapers, it will save our environment and the best choice for our little ones too, let’s take a step towards saving our environment and #gosuperithcloth .

Let me tell you some important benefits of cloth diapers.

1) Saves money as it’s reusable and you don’t need to dump the diapers in Dustbin after every use and when you will calculate the cost of disposable diapers you used in a few months you can easily get my point on saving money.
2)Best for baby skin and health as we all know cloth is best for baby skin and it helps to keep baby rash free.
3)Long use as it comes with age appropriate setting and it grows as your baby grows, you can move to different setting when you feel baby is outgrown.
4) Attractive, no one can say no to the #beautiful look and prints of cloth diapers, who need a fancy bottom when you have lovely cloth diapers.
5) Free from Chemicals as it is made of organic cotton which is best for baby skin.
6) No leaks as we get proper fit with cloth diapers. Cloth diapers come good fit so no chances of leaks if you have put it on proper  setting as per baby age.
7) Good resell value, once your baby outgrown you can resell as they maintain the goodness.
8)Happy baby and mommy as no more guilt of keeping baby in diapers.
So let’s go green with this one step from all moms.? So for today we have a lovely #gogreen print from @superbottoms

Today I want to share some winter tips..regarding baby clothes.
As winters are here all our sweaters and jackets are out, as a mom now I am worried about her to protect her from cold season as the changing weather is new for them and can get cold easily, so the question that always come to my mind was how many layers of clothes my baby should have for winters?

Sharing some winter tips for baby clothes.

✔Layering of clothes is important but make sure how many layers you are putting.

✔Babies normally require one extra layer of clothes of what we wear. You can add one inner with warmer inside to keep them warm inside house and while going out add a jacket or sweater according to temperature outside.

✔You can check your baby toes and belly too if it’s warm then your baby is overdressed and if it’s cold then you need to provide one more layer to give the warmth.

✔Extra layers not only effect baby movement but extra protection affects baby immunity too.
✔It happens as their body needs to learn adjusting according to changing weather to build strong immunity, sudden weather change might affect them easily.

✔A warm oil massage accompanied by warm water bath is good in winters helps to keep them warm and good sleep too.

✔As baby grows and start eating, we can add healthy foods that builds immunity and keep baby warm in cold season.

We are in Bangalore and weather changing not too hot and not too cold so need to take care of her, all these tips really helped me in winters hope it will help you too.
