Mum Shreya Jain Focuses On Educational Content To Help Parents

Gone are the days when women would only stay back home after motherhood. Today, mums embrace motherhood along with their profession. In a candid interview with BabyChakra, mum Shreya Jain shares about her pregnancy, motherhood and content creation journey.

Mum Shreya Jain Creates Educational Content

1. Please tell us a bit about yourself. 

I live with my family in Indore. Before I embarked on my motherhood journey, I was working as an assistant professor later I turned into an IT professional. Currently, I am in an IT company and discovering my journey toward parenting. I have a son named Sadhya. 

2. Please tell us about your profession / full-time content creation journey. What motivated you to do what you’re doing and how did it start?

My journey as a content creator started while I was searching for good educational material for my son during the lockdown. I not only found good stuff for my son but also discovered a creator inside me. 

Soon I realised that many parents are facing difficulty in keeping their kids busy and engaging them in productive activities. I started sharing different ways to engage kids through DIY activities. I am passionate about learning with fun. 

There are lots of bloggers who have motivated me and helped me to continue my journey as a creator. 

3. Would you recommend being an online content creator as a career option, especially for young moms? What’s your advice to those who might be considering it? 

Yes, of course. I mean if you have the ability, you can definitely create awareness and help other mums to share their experiences and they can fulfil their dreams by earning. 

4. How was your pregnancy journey? Did you face any challenges?

Pregnancy for me wasn’t easy. I had some hormonal issues during my third trimester resulting in diabetes. A few hours after giving birth to a baby boy through a C- section, I had a brain haemorrhage due to which I had to formula-feed my baby. Struggling with lots of medicine, pregnancy pain, and motherhood was difficult to handle. It took time but everything got sorted. But the biggest challenge was managing everything alone. 

5. What are your tips on picking skincare products for kids?

When it comes to skincare products for my kid, I always read the label keeping a few things in mind which include being chemical-free and pediatric-approved. I also avoid products that contain dyes and perfumes and go for products that are pocket friendly. Recently, I am using Babychakra skin and hair care products for my son and they are delivering the best for my child’s skin.

6. Husbands play a crucial role in bringing up a child, what are your views on equal parenting? How has your hubby helped you co-parent?

I think that the two major things that you need are support and understanding from your partner. I am lucky that I had both. 

7. How has your relationship changed with your husband after becoming a parent?

My relationship with my partner has become stronger. The only difference that I have noticed is we both give our son the topmost importance. 

8. How do you keep yourself fit physically? Did you do any Yoga during pregnancy?

No, I didn’t do any pregnancy-specific activities. But I was physically active throughout my pregnancy. 

9. How does your son help you around at home?

My son loves to cook, so I involve him in a few household chores. He also helps me to fold his clothes, and clean his room and does not disturb us while we’re working from home.

10. What are the activities that you indulge in with your son for his physical and mental growth? Please recommend some for toddler mums.

For his physical growth, we go to the park nearby where he loves playing football, enjoys cycling, swinging, running and playing many other games. As most of the time, we are at home, we also play many indoor games as well like hide and seek, jumping, logical games and lots of activities. 

11. What future do you envision for your son?

It totally depends on his choice when it comes to picking a profession. I just want him to be kind to others. Stay connected with his roots and give time for family and religion.
