A few days ago I was worried about Govind's stranger anxiety. But he surprised me with his response to a very different environment that he has been raised untill now. This sunday we had taken Govind to his father's village for the first time after his birth, on the occasion of his annaprashan. It was a journey of 4 hours. He co-operated well during the travel. He was welcomed like the prince of the village over there. Initially he cried out of exhaustion and overcrowding. But 30 minutes later as soon as I gave him his toys; he was surprisingly at ease. He started greeting everybody with open arms, smile, laughter and excitment. He stole everybody's heart with his activity. It felt as if he had known them all since ages. I felt so relaxed and proud for him. Everybody appreciated my efforts of raising him so well and also acknowledged my difficulties of handling a preemie all alone. I almost felt like a warrior queen who had won a battle ferociously. In such a short stay also Govind became so immersed in his playful mood that he started giving me tough time while feeding. We returned on monday. Yet the mood continued untill today afternoon. He was refusing to swallow anything except water and milk. I thought may be he has got some pain in throat, as he was shouting at the top of his voice with excitement. So I started giving him lukewarm water. But nothing changed. Then gripe water, himalaya Bonnisan and doctor prescribed digestive enzyme drop neopeptine came to my rescue. I hope that the playful mood is over with him finally. 

What an experience of over-stimulated hyperactive baby management I got! My goodness. This is what makes mptherhood a roller coaster of happy moments, surprise, challenges and emotions; all flipping on to one another so instantly, time just flies away before we realise. And its gone before we can catch enough of it. 

Here is a pic of Govind with his cousin Nancy! 

Nancy is Govind's bade papa's younger daughter. 

I don't have any pics of his annaprashan ceremony as there was no photographer. These were taken by other people and sent via whats app. #nightclubonbbc  #nightclub  #nightclubbing  #govindlovesbbc

If you are awake then just recall your day and search for your moment of the day for today? Share your special moment of the day. 
After 10 days of scorching heat there was a thunderstorm and rainfall for 30 minutes at 4 pm today. I and Govind enjoyed the rain from our balcony. Mom made pakoras for snack. Then I took Govind for a walk after so many days. We loved the fresh greenery around and the smell of the wet earth was refreshing.  #chitchat

Lets talk about maternal/maternity rights tonight. What rights for a expecting or a new mother should be given to make our lives easier? 
I think the society should be more considerate for a expecting woman's career. 

Maternity leave should be 1 yr or breastfeeding rooms and creches at all work places or compulsory paternity leaves for expecting dads and new dads etc. 

Share your opinions!

The "tip for you today" feature of this app is the most helpful thing. Its my favourite. I just keep waiting for the next day's tip. Its my pre- planner. It helps me to be on the top of my mommyhood game. It makes me somewhat mentally prepared about whats gonna come next. 

It reminds vaccinations too. 

It keeps the day count age of the baby and also the pregnancy. 

One day at around 4 or 4.5 months when Govind was just mastering roll over, i had got a tip to let the baby roll a ball for strengthening arm and back muscles. I then bought a bendy ball and a peg ball by shumee. At that time he was not so interested in it. But by 5 or 5.5 months he started playing with the bendy ball and now the peg ball too. It also told me when to introduce a sippy cup, following the tip advice i bought a philips avent sippy cup which he could hold easily and drink water. 

The tip to give rice water for better digestion was mind blowing, as it helped with his refluxes a lot.

 For roll over also i was informed much before to be ready with camera. And recently i got a similar tip for crawling. 

Basically my day starts with the daily tip first thing in the morning as soon as i raise my eyelids. 
So, What was the most helpful daily tip that you have got from the "tip for you today" feature of this app? #tipforyoutoday
