Cold Pressed Almond Oil by Baby & Mom Company

When to use: Advised during winter season- A soothing massage with almond oil will help relax your baby muscles. It improves with blood circulation and helps the baby relax. Meaning, that your little one can sleep calmly & enjoy a deep sleep. Massaging your baby with almond oil also reduces any chances of indigestion and an upset stomach.

Benefits of cold pressed oil: Cold-pressed oil is beneficial for hydrating dry skin especially during winters. It has a lightweight non-greasy texture that absorbs into the skin without clogging pores, which again is a great reason for us to go for cold pressed oils.

Worried About Germs Surrounding Your Baby’s Items? Here’s What You Need!

Harsha Malkan — Wed, 27 Apr 2022 08:52:14 +0000

Newborn babies have a delicate and developing immune system that requires proper hygiene requirements. Thus, it is important to keep the environment clean and chemical-free. This does not only imply the cleaning of but also their clothes and feeding essentials. Hence, you must invest in a good cleaning liquid that will wash the feeding bottles completely. The bottle cleaning liquids are not only gentle on the bottle but also clean the bottles without leaving milk residue.

When to introduce: Whether it is new tastes, textures or easing those teething gums. A lot goes into the tiny, curious, mouth of our babies. You must start using an anti-bacterial liquid to clean your baby products from the Day 1 of their arrival. Infact we should be more careful for newborns as their immunity system is still building up, hence extra care should be taken during those initial days.

Which brand I went for: I went for Mee Mee Baby Accessories & Vegetable Liquid Cleanser since day 1 and have been happy with the brand. One of the most important reason- Doesn’t have strong smell hence doesn’t leave behind funny smell on baby products. I clean my baby’s toys, teethers, feeding bottles and utensil with this liquid. Just a few drops lathers enough to clean a batch of these.

Make Baby’s Weaning & Transition Easier With This Set

Harsha Malkan — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 14:21:28 +0000

Starting solids in babies is a big milestone in any parent’s life. So, while we start to prepare what food family to introduce with first, there are few items which we need to buy beforehand which will make their solid food transition even more comfortable both for the baby and the parents. And the most important item apart from the baby’s highchair is the Silicon bib, bowl & spoon set. Trust me this phase is a messy one and you don’t want to spend hours cleaning up after every meal. This is exactly where silicon bibs come super handy. They are easy to wash, don’t leave stains and dry up quickly too.

Having a suction bowl again is a good idea especially if you are opting for baby led weaning. Babies tend to move/play with the utensils during meals and so suction bowls will be intact no matter how much they try to displace it. Lesser food spills and more food in your baby’s tummy

You’ll find endless options on Amazon or Firstcry. Here’s one you can check out for INR. 1799/-

When to buy: 6m+ when starting with solid journey

Help Your Baby Learn To Sip From This Perfect Sippy Cup

Harsha Malkan — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 14:17:48 +0000

When to introduce: If your baby is ready to sit up in a high chair without support, this means your baby is also ready to be introduced to his/her first sippy cup — or at least, ready to learn how to drink from either an open cup or a sippy cup. Not only will this teach your child that liquids can come from a source other than the breast or a bottle, but it will also help them transition away from the bottle once it’s time to wean.

Advantages of a Sippy Cup: Sippy cups are a big plus for busy parents. One of the biggest advantages is that they are practically spill-proof — which means less mess and less laundry. Plus, they are portable, so your little one can carry one in the car, in the stroller and at day care.

Which brand I went for: I had introduced a sippy cup to my baby when he was 6 months old, exactly when I started with his solid journey, & I went for none other than Philips Avent because my baby was already taking milk from Philips Avent milk bottles. Hence, I was more familiar with this brand and didn’t want to experiment with any other brand. It’s been a good experience so far.

My son has already learnt how to use it and keeps sipping whenever thirsty during the day while playing. I wash and sterilize the bottle only once a day and we are doing pretty good so far.

Price: INR. 376/- for a 200 ML bottle.

Looking For A Healthy Substitute For Refined Sugar For Your Child? I Have Good News For Moms!

Harsha Malkan — Sat, 27 Nov 2021 08:21:24 +0000

New mommies, have you ever wondered which type of sugar should you introduce to your baby? As new parents, we try to make healthy choices for our babies at each step. Like for me I did not introduce my child to sugar & salt until he turned a year old. After he turned one, I wanted him to explore more flavors when it comes to food and of course sweet was one of them.

However we all know that refined/processed sugar is never the right option for anyone at any age. After a lot of research online, I found out that date syrups can be a good option. And so I went on looking for what options are available in the market and came across LION Dates Syrup range.

LION Dates Syrup is derived from natural dates and is a healthy sweetener option. It has calcium content which strengths bones in babies and also has iron properties which prevents anemia in pregnant women & also improves hemoglobin.

So here you go mommas! This is perfect healthy sweet option both for you and your baby.

You can buy 1 kg of this for INR 378/-. Buy here.

Harsha Malkan — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 10:48:03 +0000

Once the baby starts teething, we should get them into the habit of brushing their teeth. Especially once they start on with their solid journey. I started with this routine once my baby turned 10 months old. By then he had 2 upper teeth & 2 lower teeth.

I started his brushing routine with Bee Baby Finger brush. I clean his teeth only once before his bedtime routine. This habit is good to start for cleaning their teeth, gums and also recommended for oral stimulation.

I got it for INR 99/-. You can buy it here.

Bid Goodbye To Diaper Rashes With Baby Bottom Wash By Mommy Pure

Harsha Malkan — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 03:37:26 +0000

As a first-time mom, I had many questions regarding the health and overall well-being of my child. Maintaining a hygienic diaper routine was one of them. I was worried when I got to know that skin irritation in the diaper region (or commonly known as diaper rash) is very common in newborns. And one of the culprits is disposable baby wipes which is an important step of any diaper routine.

After a lot of research, I found an alternative- Baby Bottom Wash by Mommy Pure. It’s a natural, chemical-free product specially designed for the gentle skin of babies. All that you have to do is spray it directly on the diaper area during diaper changes and wipe it clean with cotton or a clean cloth. This routine has been such a savior for me as I have never faced any diaper rash problem for my son since I have started using this product. I would highly recommend this product to moms for a tension-free diaper routine.

How much does it cost?

INR 449 for a bottle of 140 mL
