Those who know me or have been part of my journey at some point , know and understand my love for being one with nature. A natural extension of this emotion was my wandering spirit which propelled me to travel, compost, hike through dense forests and endure challenging trekking terrains. Even as a mum, I encourage my children to trek ever too often. But the thought occurred to me one day—why do I take my kids trekking? While I sat down to pen my thoughts on this topic, a few thoughts came to mind. And here are a few answers I found... The primary reason is building their physical abilities, right from endurance, strength, agility, balance and resilience. But why trekking? All of this can be achieved by exercising or…

Welcome to the travel edition of Mother and Baby. Let me kick this one off with my very own mini travelogue. When I told friends I was visiting Malaysia with my 6-year-old during the Diwali break, I got a less than favourable response. Why Malaysia of all the places? Do Europe instead. It will be so hot? Truth be told, I did not plan it well enough, and there wasn’t much time to apply for visas etc. Now that we are back from the trip—our first international holiday since COVID—am I regretting it? No way. Malaysia is an ideal destination for families with kids. It’s the perfect mix of nature and wilderness, amongst video games, amusement parks and tourist spots. Since we had about seven days to spare, we chose…

We sure love our wandering mamas and babies, and this issue, we’re reminiscing your very own travel stories and toasting to new adventures. Being a mum is a tough job. Being a mum brave enough to travel with a whole tribe of little ones is amazing. But being a mum who is brave enough to travel with a whole tribe of little ones AND take the time to document it all?! Phew! So here’s taking a page from these mamas’ travel diaries, who’ve certainly made us look forward to our next family holiday! For long-haul travels, a light pillow and blanket that can easily be tossed into your purse will keep you (or your li’l ones) cosy and warm! Bring some wipes, ear plugs, and an eye mask, as well…

Land of Nod In the third trimester — from the 28th week of pregnancy onward — sleeping on the back puts pressure on the main blood vessels that deliver blood to the uterus. This pressure may decrease the oxygen supply to the fetus. It can also increase unpleasant symptoms, such as dizziness and heartburn, in the woman. MILKING IT Your baby should nurse long enough to get a good flow of milk and to be full. In the beginning of the feeding, the milk is more watery. This satisfies the baby’s thirst. As nursing continues, the amount of fat increases. The high fat milk at the end of the feeding is called hind milk. Allow your baby to nurse for as long as he wants (at least 15 minutes) on…

JAB WE MET My husband Abhishek and I met in college, but were completely unaware of each other’s existence. It was only when the two of us went to the US for an exchange program did we meet each other. We connected instantly and began dating soon after. In 2016, we decided to finally take the plunge after two years together, and get married We were married quite young, so we didn’t think about kids so soon. But my grand mum passed away, and I was quite attached to her. Everyone kept insisting to carry on the family and that’s what she would’ve wanted, and that got us thinking too. So we decided to start trying. No sooner than we started trying, we conceived—we were really lucky. There were no…
