Being a Mom

"MAA"

A wonderful word, A meaningful word.

It has strength of world.

I feel that when I am sad, this beautiful word break that dead.

March 9, when the new journey started as a mother for me.

Every time, I see him, I feel its my heart, an organ inside me is functioning outside me.  

 From that moment, I have cherished every second till now.

Time flies, but the bond only grows stronger. I feel more like a mother everyday, than ever before.

Before March 9th, I knew what a baby feels about his/her mother, but now I know what a Mom feels for her Kids.

Privileged to be a girl, as I have experienced both the feelings.

Maa with whom I feel blessed and without whom my life is a complete disaster..

Very limited persons  advice really matters to me in life but Mumma is the only one whom I follow blindly.. as she is the one who can never been wrong for me.. who is always there to suggest me the best possible ways to handle a critical situation or whenever I feel stuck..

She is relaxed when her daughters are happy and she is restless when her daughters are in pain.. That's what is called Mother and this way they will always remain..

When my relatives and neighbors said how beautiful your daughter is!! Mumma thanked them with a gentle smile on her face.. And later on she explained that the outer beauty is contemporary and will decrease or will be gone by age.. The real beauty is the inner beauty.. that shines brighter with the age, the inner beauty can be achieved through knowledge, wisdom and kindness..

There is no definition of a perfect mother, but we all Mothers are unique and the best one in our kid's world..

This was the concise precision of what Maa means to me in my existence.. Though a full book can be written in this content..

In the conclusion I would like to console those who lost their Mothers in this pandemic. May Lord provide you strength to overcome this misery.. preserve the good times spend with them and remember wherever they are they will always want you to be happy.. wishing good health and happiness to all Super  Mumma's and their super kids..

Motherhood is an exquisite emotion that I felt when my newborn was shown to me on the operation table. Being an ideal daughter, sister and wife(at least according to me) I was always sure that I could be an ideal mother and that pregnancy is cakewalk. But in reality, pregnancy put me in a boat of uncertainty whether I am sailing in the right direction of handling pregnancy or not. Most certainly, after being a mother, doubts has increased by hundred folds if my baby is taken care of in proper way or not. Nevertheless, when I watch him sleep peacefully it brings me immense pleasure in being a mother itself. Earlier thought that it would be very tiring and restless in initial days of being a mother, but I found it so exciting and I am happily engaged with him almost complete 24 hours. I might be tired in coming months and years but I am sure will cherish each and every moment with my baby. 

So pondering about this day, made me realize a particular aspect of life which I thought to share through this blog. Certainly all mothers inculcate a caring attitude towards everyone around them. I have seen my mother being such a generous and caring person. She has treated all children like her own and one of the word that best suits her is selfless. I always wondered how could other mothers not have this whenever I had been treated differently by some. Lucky to have a sister who I believe is a paragon of an honestly caring lady.  All I can express is that motherhood is not about handling your own child but showering motherly love to anyone in need of care and warmth. So on this Mother's day when I am rejoicing it for myself for first time ever, I call upon all other beautiful and diligent moms of this generation to be kind and considerate towards all other children around along with their own ones.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I get, 

When you look at me and smile, when you tell me something for the umpteenth time

When you want to be held only be me,

And when I'm there, that's the safest you feel

When you pray with me or play with our dog,

When you say hi to a new friend - a bird, butterfly or a frog

When you say a new word with a smile,

It makes all my pain worthwhile

Please don't grow up so fast, catch a breath every now and then,

Because if I could, I'll do it all over again ❤️❤️❤️

See the world through their eyes:-

Two days back I heard pitter patter in the windows and sudden shower of rain in my open balcony. Who doesn't embrace the sudden mid summer rain? My two daughters also rushed into the balcony. I strictly instruct them to come inside as I was trying hard to keep them healthy during pandemic. As the rain dripped off my face, all the fun memories of childhood like Jumping on the puddles flashed back. 

I allowed them to enjoy the splash for 5 minutes. I could see the ecstatic face, broad smiles, giggles and big eyes full of excitement .That feeling was precious. I gave them a quick oil massage and offered them warm cups of turmeric milk. Of course I had to put some extra effort for that, but I was rewarded with their happiness.

Over my heart, in the days that are flown

No one like mother -love ever has shown

No other worship abides and endure

Faithful, unselfish and patients like yours;

No one like a mother can charm away pain

From the sick soul and the world weary brain.

Mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.

Connection is all that is needed for a relationship. But mother and her child is an engraved relationship that sustains beyond all connection, beyond all condition, beyond all that binds and cements the emotion.

Just now, when I started to think for what to jot down in this article, there my heart tickled with a feeble pain that brought a droplet out of my eyes to roll down through my cheeks. I long for that connection to my Maa. I am a Mother now, and I feel the connection that i share with my toddler every moment. Even after an adrenaline rush that results in shouting or hitting my son, I go and quickly hug  him and feel the pain I might have given him.

 I am deserted with that hug, even after so much of Love care and affection I get, I still long for that smell of you. I might wait for my lifetime for you to call me once and take me into your arms. But this wait seems so long already, 5 yrs. Technically, I have abandoned you, but never emotionally. I can't bear your rejection, so I have never tried to face and confront, but decided to stay hopeful that one day you will look for me and ask for me. And that would be the day, when I would not  waste any single second to rush and hug to say you Maa I am Sorry. My Love has, never been any less for you even after u have hated me so much... My Love for you has never been shared with anyone, but my heart got more room for someone.

My son, I would behold your hand throughout your life... I promise to not give you the same pain I am going through... I will make sure I stand by you and your decisions in life , for every Failure and achievement u embark on life, for every truth and lies you come across in life, I will b there in all your Cheers and Gloominess ❣️ I will lend you all my strength, hope, Love and Blessings that I have carried along with me. 

"My deeds be your Happiness and Peace. "

Dear Mom...

 

Right from the start you were the one who nurtured me, prayed over me, worried about me, guided me and supported me in every pursuit. A mother and Daughter  Relationship is so special, especially when daughters become Mother's themselves. Thankyou for being there everyday with just the Love I needed... A Very Happy Mother's  Day ...

Motherhood gave me so many life lessons. The day my Daughter "Sanvika" was born was the beginning of my life.When i held her for the first time, I felt a whole marathon of tingling vibes all over my body. The things i felt at that time cannot be explained in words. Tears rolled down from my eyes looking at the tiny pink, round chubby cheeked, gurguling wonder. Everyday I learnt so many new things about her. First time mom is neither  easy as you have been loaded with myths and advices. Despite all the difficulties being a mother is a Blessing. And the fun part about being a mother is that it turns you into a Superwoman.

Motherhood is the greatest and hardest thing. A mother's love endures through all. It's a constant effort of bonding with the child, which is done with unselfishness and unconditional love. A mother is a friend forever. The formation of trust and  habits in the formative years lays milestones forever. A child seeks for the shadow of the parents after hard day's work and  for  his or her, psychological well-being.

Words are not enough to express the unconditional love that exists between a mother and a daughter. As a mother of two daughters might mean that my hands are full, but so is my heart. I always want to say these things to them that “Never doubt my love from the moment you two were born, my heart opened wide. Please forgive my all mistakes and know I’m trying my best. There will be many life challenges, remember you two can get through them. Lastly if I ever feel like giving up, I just remember there are two beautiful girls watching who wants to be just like me.

Today is not my Birthday, no Anniversary, even not my favorite Valentine’s Day. But this morning was different. This morning I was glowing, happy, smiling, giggling, tapping feet and doing my signature dance out of happiness, because I was celebrating me, me as a Mother and remembering my Mother too.

Maa, all our strings are connected, how far we may be from each other. I feel you with my every heartbeat. Nothing can compensate yours sacrifices, unconditional love, care for me, I owe you my everything. Love you to the infinity and beyond.

Jiggy, from my palm size, outgrowing my lap, you have grown to feet’s and now have become entire HEART n SOUL.  It was a rainy Sunday, On September 9, you were due. I was so so nervous, not for me, but for yours safe arrival. Praying every second. The moment I heard your cry, my heart skipped several beats.  It was the best sound my ears could ever hear. I very well knew this is the moment for which I was waiting for real long. Happy tears filled my eyes and happiness knows no bound, I was overjoyed. All my pain just vanished when we had our first skin touch. I was trembling to hold you even, and see now when you are a toddler, (2.7 years) I am just picking you up and very tightly hugging you and you are so sweet to not shrug or complain even once. You are my hero, who is full of expressions and overload of cuteness. I wish I can freeze this time forever. Yours little pecks on my face, warmest hugs, and cute words, happy snuggles, makes my day and means my world. I wish, you be the best version of you, always shine and rise.

The other day, when you are playing with your toy, and by mistake it hit my eyes. You could sense my uneasiness. You being so small got so concerned for me. You immediately role played by bringing the mobile charged and after checking me, asked “Mama Okay”? You never left my side, your concerned look, caring pat on my shoulder, kisses and hugs, were the real healers for me.

I am that one perfectly imperfect Mom, who strives hard every day to perform her best.  I tried to fit in into the perfect shoes, but every time I miss out on something or the other.  Sometime I win sometime fail very badly, but yes I do learn.. My baby needs me more than anything else; wish to be by my side holding my hand. He trusts me no matter what. Our happy faces are all that matters, and everything else will fade away. This journey so far made me realise that it will be this way forever, in the process to have it all, we may miss the most beautiful moments together.

Once a Mummy is always a Mummy, how old you may become, how far you stay from your kid. She is a Mummy Warrior, who is 24/7 on duty. Loads of love and hugs to all Mommies who are sailing along with me on the same boat. We all deserve Love, Care, Kindness, Compassion and Respect while we perform our Mummy duties and raising our future generations.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Working Mom CHAOS - Balancing work with a new baby

 Being committed fully to work & family undoubtedly is a tough job to do which a 

working Mom has to take on. It can be exhausting and even thankless, being perceived

as not fully present as an employee or a mother. Be confident. Focus on positive side of working.

 

Working women along with a new born baby in the house is really difficult to even imagine. It’s important to keep the sanity as it gets tedious to keep the balance of all three, i.e. self, work and new born baby. A working woman would have already imagined the future chaos that is coming when she will join work, finishing her maternity leaves.

There are many thoughts goes on a working woman’s mind like fear of spending less time with baby. And whether baby will recognize her after she comes back, how will be their love bonding. Would the baby love her or not? Why the baby does not like their favorite teddy/toy now which they were always attached to? Is her baby safe back at home? Whether baby is having food on time or not? Is baby’s growth and development is proper, both height and weight? Is the baby is able express his /her mind properly? Why the baby is not happy seeing Mom back from office? Would the baby ever recognize her efforts which she puts in for her family by going to work, and not being with her child?

All these runs on a working mother’s mind at umber speed. There are numerous doubts, questions and confusion as she is not physically present with her kid and it matters high time to her as nothing is more precious in her life than her baby. And there is always guilt of not spending enough time and leaving baby at home.

Going back to work for a new mom is definitely very challenging as she is going through a lot of physical as well as mental changes. There is inflow of mixed emotions which makes her quite vulnerable. But with calmness, persistence, determination and with proper planning she can resume her work with confidence and dignity. There are certain ways where working woman can maintain the perfect balance between her baby and her work with ease.

The following tips are a must do for a working woman is planning to join work:

  Maintain an Organizer/Calendar: It’s not easy to remember everything. So, it’s important to have important details/dates added in the calendar to remind you or help you immediately when you need them urgently. You can set reminders for your baby’s vaccination dates also. Put on the calendar, the roles of responsible people related to your baby, the role of everyone to be recorded to make your job hassle free and you can easily pass the same to your nanny or any family member who is taking care in your absence.

 Sharing Work: Sharing your work, so that everything will be as planned and without any delays. It is noticed that when you divide your work, the work is done perfectly and on time. And the best part is you will get little relaxed on that front. But to execute this, you need to plan it perfectly, hand hold the same and ensure that your work is being properly without any problem. You can share your work with your partner or with any of your family member whom you can trust.

 Proper Communication: Safety & Well-being is the most important thing related to your baby. It also helps in taking care of each and every need and requirements of your baby, even if you are not there physically available. This will ensure yours peace of mind and you can concentrate on yours official work.

 

Before leaving your baby at home, you need to communicate with the person who will take the responsibility, be it your partner, family member, day care teachers or even nanny. Proper & effective communication do help in tracking yours baby’s development, you won’t miss any of the baby’s milestones.

 

4.       Baby sitter/Nanny back up: It’s important to keep back up ready so that yours daily routine won’t get disturbed.

 

5.       Perks of Pre planning: This will make yours mornings easy as per plan. No fumbling. No hassles. It’s wise to do some things the night before, to ease out things in the next morning. Keep baby’s stuffs sorted at one place. Prepare notes of Baby food with timings, and keep all requisites at one place or mention regarding their whereabouts to make the work easier. Take out your babies clothes from wardrobe to save your time and make the following day smoother and easy to go.

 

6.       Support at Work: You can seek support from your reporting manager/ HR for a flexible schedule whenever needed. Check if work from home option is there or can be availed when required. Check and be informed on leave policies in case of sick children.

It is immensely important to take care of yourself. Being a working mom, you need to take care of your kid, take care of work commitment and most importantly yourself.

 

 For this, there are few things to be kept in mind:

·         Know when to switch: It’s important to switch from one to other, like from work mode to home mode or vice versa. This would help big time in balancing your life and important for a happy mind too.

Pleasure of working Mom can be various types. You can have an amazing bonding while feeding your little one. Bathing time is a fun filled time for baby. You can be around and feel the happy vibes. Massaging is can have a beautiful we time for both Mom and Baby. Making a craft, painting together is a fabulous idea too.

                                                            Let go off the Mom guilt.

                                                               Working Moms rock!

My journey to motherhood

Being passionate about my microbiologist career whose first priority was only work, never ever thought that priorities will change after the birth of my first child. And I am happy whatever I chose, but this journey as a new mother was not so easy. Learnt a lot and still learning, becoming mature day by day, multitasking, became patient and the list goes on. Thanks to my stars that I was surrounded by lovely people, my Ob-Gyn, hubby, family, my cook, house help and my neighbor. It was a smooth pregnancy and was enjoying it.

I will split this whole thing in 3 phases- 

1. Getting pregnant 

2. Pregnancy 

3. After birth

1.Getting pregnant- After enjoying married life for 5 years, we thought of family planning. We were anxious about the positive news. At last I got pregnant. Yayy!

2. Pregnancy- When we came to know about the long awaited good news, me and hubby were on cloud nine. We both enjoyed full fledged this period. He pampered and took care of me like a kid and I enjoyed it. Attended prenatal classes (definitely will suggest this to all), started doing Lamaze breathing exercises, yoga, meditation from second trimester under a certified trainer, read maternity books, joined mommy groups, listened music every morning with a cup of tea. All these helped me very much to prepare for  my post delivery. I must say this was the best phase. Because we got our Us time also.

3. After birth- One fine morning during 37th week of pregnancy (gestational age), my water broke. I was rushed to hospital after consulting my gynae. In the mid morning I delivered a beautiful baby. It was the best feeling of my life. Pain due C-section stitches, struggling to breastfeed, all these issues vanishes whenever I see my baby. Now the challenges started like taking care of the baby’s needs, my own emotional condition due to hormonal imbalance, health, relationship with the partner, household work, thinking to continue my job or take a break and so on. When my mom went to her home after living and helping us for 2 months I was feeling all alone and helpless. Me and hubby couldn’t able to manage everything. When he was in office, baby did not want to get down from my lap and had to hold him whole day. I cried for petty things. Initial months were very tough to manage. Gradually we as a parent became more patient, mature and calm. 

Two things will suggest for expecting parents -

1. Attend prenatal classes if not possible then read books/websites related to childcare, breastfeeding, ppd, parenting and join mommy groups. It will definitely help new parents to be ready.

2. Support-Informational and emotional support is very important. Lack of support can lead to depression. Mothers can get social support through informal networks of friends and family, or, they can experience support through more formal channels, such as psychotherapy. Emotional support from the partner is crucial.  It is very important that you are surrounded by positive and caring people especially during pregnancy and after birth.

We can approach below professionals if we face any challenges-

Lactation counsellor/consultant- Many new mothers do not know whom to approach for breastmilk or breastfeeding related issues. They can take help from a lactation counsellor/consultant.

Therapist- Most of us slip into depression, and don’t know whom to talk with, or we feel uncomfortable to share due to societal talks. Identify the signs of postpartum depression and immediately take help from your doctor/ psychotherapist. 

Trainer- It is hard to get time for us but exercise also helps to engage ourselves. It is a great stress reliever and keeps us fit. Before starting randomly, first get a green signal from your gynae then start doing yoga, meditation, exercise under a trainer.

After becoming a parent, I realized we all can manage everything and anything.

Discipline your Toddler the Right Way

Discipline is a way of life. It’s management of our behaviour. Discipline is one of the ways of teaching your toddler kid to follow certain life rules which leads to follow a particular code of conduct and be systematic in life. Good mannerism, humble behaviour and conduct are few positive outcomes of discipline in kids, which helps them in preventing behavioural issues in future.

Discipline is a great way to impart knowledge and skills by the process of teaching. It’s well taught at home by parents, and then they learn from their teachers at school.

Parents must understand that there’s a thin line between loving and pampering. It’s an important trait, which to be taken care of, and lovingly nurtured.

As a parent, there are several questions that pop up in our minds like:

How to teach self-control/discipline? Do kids require a particular set of rules to abide by? Is there any method a child should learn, what are the lines which are not to be crossed, where to stop and when? Why kids throw tantrums, and how to deal with it?

Toddlerhood in particular, is the age in which kids try to be independent and loves to discover themselves as individuals, but at the same time, they still have a limited ability to communicate. Toddlers do imitate their parents or people around them and they literally wait to check for their reactions of their deeds, and look out for validations. By doing this, your kid will learn few new things and unlearn few. That will get imprinted in their curious little minds, that helps in asserting themselves to a greater extent.

The disciplinary action for different age group is different. Setting up disciplinary consequence is crucial but at the same time, discipline with love and caution, otherwise it may backfire.

As per experts, use of Time Out, Rewards & Co-counselling techniques can be used effectively in achieving the desired goals.

 

Why Indiscipline:

• Fear give rise to Indiscipline
• Sense of insecurity or unsafe feel
• Family disturbance or bad behaviour
• Bullying by peers
• The inability to express themselves
• Excessive pampering
• Lack of involvement of parents

 

Important techniques to teach discipline to your kids:

 ·         Set an example : As you ask your baby to do something, and you yourself not practicing the same, it doesn’t makes any sense. You need to do it yourself first, to help your kid understand it in a better way and then they tend to sink in into it. A parent is always been the torch bearer, who will lead from the front, paving way for the kid, which motivates kids to understand and perform it.

·         Be a good listener: Being a good listener to your kids, will do absolute wonders for both. Kids need undivided attention. Listening to them will help them open up in front of you.

 

·         Never say no to your kids: Instantly saying no to anything or everything to them might distant the relationship and affect the bonding. Also might irate and disturb them big time, which will lead to disagreement in them.

 

·         Ask for help: Asking your kid to help you in your work is no bad. This will make them feel important and would help in long run. For example, you can involve your kids in sorting their own toys after play.

 

·         Know when to end discussions: At times kids do show tantrums. While conversing or interacting, it’s important to cut it short, and to know when to stop the topic or divert it to something else. For example, at home if your kid wishes to play with a certain object which is really sharp and can hurt them. And they are in no mood to detach it from them, at that moment either you as a parent have to be a very good storyteller to divert their mind from that object to other things or you can give them something else to hold, which is safe for them.

 

·         Be Empathetic: Be like a kid, with a kid. Magic mantra to be at a win –win situation. Don’t you feel so? No kid is arrogant, anguish, intolerant without any reason. There must be a reason. As a parent you need to figure it out by being getting into their shoes. Try to connect emotionally with your kid as he might not able to express them completely, and that probably be the reason to show tantrums or being indiscipline. It’s very important to understand their mind, and what they want to tell or communicate with you, may be with their expressions or by their behaviour. Instead of angering or losing it on them, which seem difficult for a parent to hold, but being matured from kids, you need to be patient and hearing. Never react to kids negatively. It might have an adverse effect.

 

·         Be Respectful: Show respect to your kids. They will learn from your behaviour towards them and accordingly reciprocate. As parent, you lead, but at the same time not authoritative to them. Best way is take them along, to make feel closer to you and accepted. Give them a choice, which will show that you respect your toddler and recognize their feelings.

 

·          Punishment to kids is a strict no-no scenario.

 

·         Develop Self Control: Kids focus on one thing at a time, their mind processing is not as developed like an adult’s. They take little more time to process. That is why; change of their mind-set is not easy. Their logical quotient is not much developed, so self-realization is less. Mostly children lack impulse control at their initial ages. Self-control grip in them comes gradually, with the development of pre frontal cortex, and it increases with age. With time and age, your kid will develop better sense of reasoning, logic, judgement and focus too. To increase their impulse control system, you can buy Toys with impulse control, which will help them to understand and reactive to it. For instance, Ex – Traffic Signal. The traffic post with Red, Green, Yellow signals will help them to depict when to stop, when to get ready and when finally to move. This will surely strengthen their Impulse Control System.

 

·         Create a happy place/Safe zone: It’s important to make them feel safe and secured. If your kid is happy, then undoubtedly they will focus, take interest, learn, be creative, try to make decisions, choose, become smarter and in this process learn more and better.

In Anxiety / Stress zone, kids in this zone don’t feel safe, secure, wanted and loved. This is not the zone for your precious one.

 

·         Appreciate: Appreciate them for everything good they do. That will encourage them to keep doing good things, as they now know which all things are being appreciated. So, for doing good practices, kids got to be disciplined, which they will become eventually practicing.

Please note, at the same time its mandatory to correct their bad behaviour.

 

·         How to Behave?

No doubt, this will take time but it’s needed to shape up your toddler kid’s future. Help your kid learn the effective and healthy discipline strategies.

 

·         Help them Explore: All kids want to explore the world. Especially the toddlers, who have just recently got super active, out from their shell. But also figure out what all are safe for them and what all are unsafe. Speak to them and make them understand.

Example: No touch (Fire), Hot touch (Hot milk), Cold touch (Ice-cream) etc.

 

·         Set limits: It’s crucial to set limits to discipline your kid. This will also help them self-control. You can also set boundaries for them by keeping things out of their reach for a while.

For Instance, watching TV, it’s advisable to parents to set time limit for their kids while they watch their favorite series. Both will be equally happy.

 

·         Be Consistent: Consistency will build up a routine life, and that’s the essence of a disciplined life. Right time for taking nap, food, bathe, brush, stroll, and play makes a kid accustomed to daily routine life.

 

·         Avoid Stressful Situations: Avoid disturbing state of your kid. For example, do travelling to places as per their convenience. If they have vomiting tendencies or if get uneasy during traveling, then avoid such long distance travel with your kid, at least till the age they overcome it.

Another instance, please do take care of your kid when they feel or sleepy especially when you are out of home. It’s advisable to bring them to home as soon as possible to make them comfortable.

 

·         TIME OUT: You must have heard this terminology “Time Out” a lot of times. It’s a way to give your toddler baby a break of a minute or two, not more than that. This is to calm them and get themselves back in control.

Never choose a dark, secluded place; instead you can create a cosy place where they will be safe. This will create a positive impact on them, as they know, they are not appreciated for the act, for which they are here.

 

Perks of being a Disciplined Toddler

 

·         Self-Control & Increased focus

·         Good Behaviour & Mannerism

·         Empathetic towards others

·         Becomes expressive and communicate properly

·         Teaches them to accept instructions

·         Give respect to Authority

·         Became accountable

·         Finally a happy and loving kid
