Mother’s love is best but can you believe my 4 years old son Namya showed us his love for his mother at its best.

I was admitted to the hospital as I was going to deliver our younger son Ayan. We kept Namya with our parents at home only. Finally after 1 and half day our parents bring him to meet new born. When they all came inside the room, all others went near to newborn to see him and to my surprise Namya didn’t go there and first came to me and asked “mama are you okay? Do you have pain? When will you come home?”

When I said “I am ok baby go and see your little brother”

He replied “I can see him later also first you tell me when your pain will go?” And started taking care of me!!!!!

My eyes were really filled with water by his concern and love.

Awww such a heart touching reward to a mother. Big salute to mother and son. Kudos Namya!!! Thank you very much Sonal for sharing your heart touching experience with us.

First trimester might be terrific for you and now it is middle of second trimester. You must be relaxed and settled in your new routine. As we know pregnancy is full of surprises, here is one more surprise for you in form of “Baby Kicks” at the end of 5^th month of your pregnancy.

I still remember, when I was pregnant once we went out for shopping and while parallel parking our car touched the divider and as a reflection I got kicks from my baby!!!

One more experience I would like to share with you. Summer was just started and we went to lake. As I am fond of water I couldn’t resist myself to enter into lake and joined others in splashing. As soon as cold water touched my belly my little one started kicking like anything!!!

I have many more amazing experiences with kicks and I called them tricks as many times I intentionally encouraged my little one to kick me!!! Nothing can be more fun and frolic than this and thus here I am coming up with my article “Kicks and Tricks”

What does your baby do inside:

Initially baby bends by sideways and make tiny movements. As she grows she moves her tiny arms and legs; gradually she moves her head and also covers her face with her tiny hands; she may suck the thumb or finger of her favorite hand or leg.

Most of the time your baby will sleep in womb but there are some times when she is awake and she tells you that by her gentle kicks.

When will you feel kicks:

By the end of 5^th month your baby becomes active and you feel light kicks as a result of her movements. Initial kicks are gentle like popping bubble but yes you can see clear picture of your baby’s legs or hands in 5^th month Ultrasound if your baby is in good position.

If this is your first pregnancy, you may not realize these small kicks but by the end of 7^th month these kicks will become stronger and harder. Sometimes you may feel vibration effect on fabric of your clothes too.

If you are in routine your baby will be in routine too. In this case if you will try to notice, you will defiantly get the exact time span of your baby’s sleep pattern so you can enjoy the kicks. For me every day we eagerly waited for evening 5 PM as it was her active time. We enjoyed her kicks and teased her a lot by shifting her position in those time span!!!

She won’t move all the times there will be time when they prefer to sleep and take rest. Don’t worry if you don’t see much activity during your ultra-scan but if you are lucky you will be able to see you active baby in full charm.

Why baby kicks you:

1. Baby sleeps when you are awake or you are moving. Standing, sitting and walking positions give them effect of swing so at that time they will sleep. But when you will sleep or lay down they will awake and give kick to inform you.
2. Baby kicks when she is hungry. Hungry baby kicks are really hard and continuous and if you want to measure wait for 2 min and see how your sweet baby demands for food. Once you will have the food they will stop kicking.
3. Baby kicks to celebrate treats. When you eat something sweet or sugary they become active and give kicks. This is why doctors suggest to eat sweets when you miss your routine kicks. Have sweets or cold drink and wait for 15 minutes. Still if your baby is not responding you should concern doctor.
4. Loud music disturbs your baby sleeps and so she wakes up. And when baby is awake she reminds you her presence in form of kicks.
5. Normally temperature inside the womb is warm until you take bath in extreme cold or extreme hot water. And this is the reason doctor suggest to take bath in warm water only. Yes if its summer just try cold water bath and see how beautifully your baby kicks you in response.

What to do when kicks trouble you:

Baby kicks will get harder by the time and sometimes they kick like anything. Continuous kicks on same place might cause little pain or make you uncomfortable. Well in this case just try to move or shift the kicks by changing your position or press the part of your tummy little harder where you are getting kicks and your baby will move out from there.

 Well this is when your baby kicks but what if she doesn’t?

By the end of the 7^th month you will get the routine of your baby and so it will be easy for you to measure the kicks. Baby kicks 6 to 10 times in a day and if you think your baby is missing her routine try 1. Change the position 2. Eat sweets or cold drinks 3. Play some loud music 4. Take cold water bath 5. Press your tummy little harder.

Still if you think your baby is not moving and it’s been long time around 2 hrs. just make a call to your doctor. Don’t feel guilty if everything comes out normal. This is just like false contraction so better to take precaution than putting your baby’s life in risk. Feel free to call doctors as many times as you want in response of your concern and ask for the normal checkup.

Feel the touch and feel your baby

Siblings are really exciting, they play together they eat together they learn together and they share together. Here I am sharing one of the examples of siblings love where my 4 years old daughter Aira is trying to teach something interesting to my 1 year old son Arin.

One day Arin was playing with her mother’s finger. As he is just one year old, he likes to try everything by putting it in his mouth. To satisfy the same curiosity he putted his mother’s finger in his mouth.

Aira who was playing near to him saw this and removed finger from his mouth and said “don’t bite mama. You should not bite nice people. You can bite only strange people if they trouble you!!!”

She was explaining this in such a sincere way that we truly fall for her cuteness and concern for her brother and mother.

I agree siblings share beautiful bond and they always care for each other. Aira’s, sincere and cute gesture exposes her love for her family. Thank you very much Shila and Suresh for sharing your cute experience with us.

My 2 and half years old daughter Vijeytha likes to copy us for everything and those funny gestures make us laugh all the times. I would like to share one of those with you.

Every day when Vijeytha comes back from school I like to check her lunch box and if it’s empty I like to encourage her with “Yeeee you finished it good job vijeytha.”

Few days back when her father came back from office and removed lunch box from his bag, she asked him to open it. My husband opened it for her. When she saw its empty she said “yeeeee you finished it good job appa.”

And her cute face made us laugh like anything.

Kids are really funny but cute copy cats. Thank you very much Shwetha for sharing your hilarious experience with us.

When I asked coupe of parents “when do you get angry on your kids?” I got different replies like “when my kids don’t listen to me”, “when my kids don’t eat properly”, “when my kids tease me a lot”, “when my kids make noise” and many more. To satisfy myself I asked again “How many times your kids don’t listen to you or don’t eat well or tease you in a week and how many times you get angry because of that?” and the answer was “out of 10 average 3 times parents get angry for these kind of kids behavior!!!” then what about remaining 7? Read the story and you will get the answer…..

There was a party in our house. I and my husband both were busy in preparation of guest’s list menu venue and lot related to that. I was writing guests’ list when my daughter asked for the same pen I was using. As I was busy I simply said “no baby go and get the pen from pen stand”. She was fascinated by the pen in my hand so she urged for that pen only and my husband got angry “mama told you once get the pen from pen stand then why are you teasing her?”

Do you think here we got angry because of my kid’s behavior? No we got angry because we were busy!!!

Well the point is we could avoid this by simply exchanging pen with her but we didn’t as we were busy with lots of things like party office and house hold chores.

So actually the truth is we don’t get angry on kid’s behavior, we get angry because of our circumstances. Don’t agree? Let me explain here When do we get angry on kids? And I am sure you will agree to these points.

Hectic schedule: When we are really stuck in office work, house hold chores or some other to do things, a small mistake of kids’ are enough to make us scream on them. When we are busy, our mind just want to complete the task as quickly as possible and kid’s interruption cause delay in that and result we get angry!!!

Mental stress: When we are not in good mood or when we want to place our point but no one is ready to listen, we get angry on kid. For example when in office our boss screams on us or in house our parents say something which we don’t agree but can’t resist them because we respect them, we finally yell on our kids.

Illness: Pain is something which we can’t control. And because of that we try to control rest of the things. For example when we are ill like cold cough or headache noise irritates us a lot but the same noise doesn’t bother us in normal days. So When we are sick we scold our kids for all the small silly mistakes.

Dissatisfaction: When we are not satisfied with our work (In house or office) or with our lives, we get frustrated and that frustration comes out in terms of scream (on kids). We want to change the things but can’t and when we can’t find the way we scream.

Can’t get Me Time: When we can’t get “Me Time” to conquer ourselves, we get angry. All of us want to do one thing in a day (watching tv or any kind of hobby) which can makes us happy and if consistently we can’t do that we feel helpless and result we scream on kids.

Well There is nothing wrong or right about getting angry on kids for these reasons but yes if we want we can control this as at the end it will hurt us only.

Whenever you are in above situation and can’t handle your stress just take a moment and ask yourself “Am I really angry on my kid?” and I am sure you will be able to control yourself in this one moment as your heart don’t really want to do this.

Well sometimes we can’t control our temper and we scream. For this I suggest say yourself” it’s okay”. don’t let your frustration turns into guilty. It’s perfectly fine as you are parents and parents want to do best for their kids so just take a deep breath conquer yourself and say sorry to your kid for that whenever you feel better.

Once you know something else is teasing you not your kid you will enjoy even more with your kid. After all kids are best source of happiness and love.

I am trying not to scream on my daughter because of above reasons…..Are you with me?

There are heaps of cute conversations with kids all the times. I would like to share one of them. I hope you will like it.

One night just before bed time my 4years old son, Hemish jumped into our bed and told his papa that he wants to sleep with us today!

So I asked him “why do u want to sleep here?  This is mummy -papa’s bed and you should sleep in your bed.”

When I was trying to take him out of our bed he replied in really cute voice “please mummy only for today let me sleep here okkkkk please and I promise it’s only for today, only tonight and I promise I will sleep in my bed from the morning next time.“

He was holding his papa tight from the neck so I can’t pull him out from bed.

After listening to his cute answer I and his papa couldn’t stop laughing and allowed him to sleep with us.

I believe kids’ sweet talk are enough to compel our heart to fulfill their wish. Thank you very much Hetal for sharing your cute experience with us.

My 2 and half years old daughter Pihu was playing in the garden. Suddenly she got scared by a cockroach and hugged me tightly as I was just nearby. I hugged her back and tried to console her by words:

“Hey little girl that’s ok it’s just a small cockroach see even smaller than you. Don’t worry it can’t hurt you. It’s so small to hurt you…”

After couple of minutes she felt good and started playing again. And I too forgot about that incident.

After couple of days when I was working in kitchen she came to me, hugged me and said “mummy don’t worry it is just a small cockroach it can’t hurt you it’s smaller than you too….!!!”

At first I couldn’t understand anything but when I realized she is remembering the previous incident and repeating the same lines very nicely and sweetly even though I wished I couldn’t interrupted her and hypnotized by her sweet voice.

I truly agree that kids’ talk are enough to mesmerize us and your experience is one of them. Thank you very much Sapana for sharing your sweet experience with us.
