I would like to Thanks Zainab http://www.zainabtravadi.blogspot.com/ for introducing me and sending across the Winter Express to my station.
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.
I hope you enjoyed reading my post. Now, it is the time for departure, so meet Winter Express next at. Anubhuti http://criesnlaughter.com/ station. Stay hooked to this journey with the Winter Express!!

Lotus seed / Makhana for your little one ?

One more healthy snack from our Indian kitchen, lotus seeds also know as makhana in Hindi, is really good for our little ones.
As mommy was really worried for protein intake for her , and doctor suggested eggs but we are vegetarian, so my search started again and I remember I used to take lotus seed in my pregnancy time also for protein so why not for baby and what best she loves it and enjoy munching on it , problem solved mommy?

Firstly let’s know its benefits:

✔ Very good source of protein, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.
✔ 100gms yields 350 calories of energy.
✔ Full of antioxidants.
✔ High in fiber, helps to avoid constipation.

How to add them in their food?

✔ In form of snacks-

( Most important step as mostly skip this but I must say it is really important, break the seeds and check inside as mostly small worms are found so it’s better check and use ).
Break seeds and roast with some ghee( clarified butter ) until it becomes crispy now add pinch of salt.
Lotus seed snacks are ready to eat and your little one would love munching on them, I used to take for travel purpose too.

✔ Porridge or kheer

Blend roasted seeds and add warm milk or you can boil it too.
Add jaggery and dry fruits powder for sweet version. You can add salt and veggies for savoury.
✔ Coat the roasted seeds with a thin layer of chocolate for sweet snacks.
✔You can add lotus seed powder in flour too to make chapati.
✔ Well all mommies know how to add in some or the other way in their meal.
For all vegetarian, this is really good for adding protein in their diet.?
