BREASTFEEDING (BF)

Hello

Whenever I am going though any of mommies’ page or app, I saw many mommies were asking ‘how to stop breastfeeding (BF)?’

When I was new to these pages and I saw first post of BF. My reaction BF-“BOYFRIEND”?😥 , in a fraction of second I come to know it’s a breast feeding😅. I like the short form BF. So here also I am using BF instead of breastfeeding. I generally found a post, in each page, of BF. So, I decided to write on BF. I know my post not solved the problem of all moms’ but at least of few moms’.

Generally moms have a problem of how to stop her child from taking BF.Child is used to that milk (kyu na ho ). When my daughter was born (c-section), giving BF first time was so difficult but as time passes it’s become fine. My sis-in-law suggested me start bottle also otherwise it become a problem. I heard that BF is very good for a child but she was suggesting me from her experienced .In starting I felt very bad but now when I am thinking about it ,I feel  it was  very good decision😊.

As child use of bottle from starting, so when the time comes when you want to stop BF, It’s become little bit easy for you. When I felt it’s time for my daughter to stop BF. I started giving BF and bottle both but on the alternative basis. At night when she was sleeping and hungry I prefer BF. Slowly and slowly BF was replaced by some solid food and some by bottle but at night BF.As time passes I started  giving solid food to my daughter before going to bed so that she would not wake at night .It takes few days but yes she stop waking at night. As BF taking was reducing so do milk and finally she left.

In this way BF also stop and night wakening is also stop. This was my experienced. All mom’s think differently, so do I.

FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL-2

I know it’s very late continuation. First day, she was very happy. There had party in her school. She came back at 11 pm.Two and half hour, first day in a school, not bad, in fact, very good. I was very happy😊 at that day I was satisfied that "now she easily adjusts in a school”, but I was wrong😢 .Next day she was crying that she didn’t want to go to school. At that day when I just finished my tasty breakfast, my phone rang. It was called from my DD‘s school. She was crying a lot and I brought back her at 9:30.All my happiness of adjustment was just an excitement. Thereafter whenever anyone was talking about school she started crying. Then all other decided to bring her back till 10:30 for few days. Now she used to cry when going to school but like a good child she picks her bag and sits in  car quietly but says”mumma ,don’t want to go to school”. And when she reaches school, she cry a lot and say”mumma,aap jao”😢.It seems she comes to know that now this is her daily routine.When I go to her school to bring ,I see her coming downstairs ,with her teacher, with a very cute smile😊 and says”mumma”.By seeing her like this I become so happy😘.

Today, after 20 days of starting the school, when I dropped her she easily went to her teacher but when I goodbye her, her lips started shaking .she wanted to cry but she was not👼 (my brave girl).At that time I felt so bad and proud too. How strong is my little one that she knows how to control her emotions?

Till know I learnt that for your kids future you have to become strong. In starting kids use to cry, not eat properly, and many other things, you have to strong especially when your very cute ,adorable and loving kid cries. No one can see her crying. For me this (seeing my child crying) was also tough. As I knew this thing is going to be happen and i had to prepare for it. So I didn’t get melted when she cried, I am not a woman who don’t have emotions, whenever she cries, I also cry even more than her. Anyway this para is not for me. Just I want parents when you see your child behavior got change

• Talk to her teacher about this

• Observe whether he is going to his teacher without any fear

• Ask your child about his day in the school

• Is there any name or thing he starts scaring?

• Regular in touch with her teacher

• When he comes sit 5-10 minutes with him

• Increase your child time slowly and slowly when you think “yes now he settles” then increase time 15 to 30 minutes.

These are few things which I noticed and experienced.

If you suggest some more notification I will be very obliged.

FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL

I know this post is not related to this page but yes, this post is related to moms whose child going to school first time. On Monday, my daughter is going to attend her first day in her school. So, I want to express my feelings to other moms.

FIRST DAY, whenever I think so I get goose bumps. Now her day is getting so much near, I m feeling so much nervous, excited, and sad and pity also by thinking “Oh!!!My little baby, you are too small for going to school.”😔 next thought “you are always small for me.”I know I have to do this. I never send her far away from me, she always wanted me. Wherever, whenever I went somewhere she was with me like a shadow and now I have to leave my shadow for some hours. Whenever I think so my eyes get wet 😔(I never told this to anyone).Even how she spend that time without me? I know she will cry a lot in her starting days (so am I).She is playing in front of me right now😊. She doesn’t know her life going to be change from Monday.

I prepared her bag (smiley tiffin box, Mickey Mouse red bag, diaper, hanky and a dress).I checked her wardrobe if she needs anything. All set .Now waiting for the day, don’t know what will happen? She is so small. How she manages all things? Will she eats properly? If she cries, who will going to hug her? If she asks “mumma,where are you?”Then?

Now it’s better I stop my pen here otherwise I will start crying. Mumma loves you beta😘 and will miss you too.

Hope I am looking foolish. Moms’ please share you’re experienced also.waiting.😊

NO TO BOTTLE

Bottle feeding has been very easy for mothers to give to her child, so was my case. After few months of her first b'day, when my daughter was big enough to leave bottle, I decided to stop giving her bottle feed but the question was how? I knew it was  very difficult task(as I heard from others) but I had to do it. As she was use to it and so it was not easy for her too. I tried many things, one of them was spoon. I gave her milk by spoon but after taking 3-4 spoons she used to start crying😔 and I had to give her a bottle. I tried this for a week but no use .I knew it was difficult but so much..I had not expected. She was my first child so I  didn’t know what to do next?

One day when I went to purchase a diaper, I saw a sipper. I bought it as if God is saying,”ja lele sipper ji le apni zindagi”( jokes apart).I started giving milk in  it but she refused. It was not her mistake as she didn’t know how to drink from it. Now what?

One day, I had an idea,“Why not try water?”, and it worked😊. After few days I started giving milk in it but only one time i.e. in the evening. Slowly, I  hid all her bottles and milk powder too, I didn’t even speak the word “ bottle” in front of her ,we would say bottle as B,O,T,T,L,E.I knew if she started again then it will become really difficult to quit bottle.

This is how I succeeded without so much difficulty(as I heard) and with a hope i will pass all such difficulty with ease(mujhe pata hai aisa hoga nahi)😈

Fruits!Fruits!Fruits!

FRUIT!!!!One of the major concerns for moms for their kids or you can say for the children up to the age 2 ( after that you can't control kids taste).Now a day’s kids don’t like fruits at all. I don’t know how they differentiate between healthy and non healthy things?😒  They only like candies, chocolates, chips.Even my 2 yrs daughter like these (we used to talk in spellings whenever we want to use these words)😎.

Till the age of 1 she loves fruits but after that her loves become likes and then hates. When she completed her 2 yrs,I supposed she was asking me “Mom, What are fruits?”

After few days I realized by not eating fruits, she was missing lots of nutrients. Its time for me to do something.So, one day I tried “banana shake” (with less milk).Guess what? She ate😃😃. Giving same fruits is also not good, mango season is going on, why not try mango shake or aam ras

.This experiment also worked but apple shake not worked(i guess she don’t like apple).

Doesn’t matter, I gave her only these two shakes for few days, after that little break. Giving same thing again and again scared me, might be she stopped eating this also.

Kid's moms you can try this never know what works, but remember

• ·   Less milk
• · Don’t keep shakes too long , prepare fresh shakes ,especially banana shake.
• ·   You can add some flavors in it to make it tasty ,I add roofzah.
• ·    Sugar can be added ,its up to baby taste.
