Modern parents ,Messy Kid !!

What to do,if they don't eat!!

Modern parents don't put much effort on feeding their baby right, It's God grace that the kid is doing well and many more one must have heard when their toddler refuse to it.

Well, I was having my own share of anxiety and regret that I am not doing well. I kept on searching numerous website which only show you diet chart but how to prepare and give,no exact mention.I read few books even, but none helped a lot.

I spent handsome amount of mommy and buying formula solid to additional supplementary nutritious food ,baby eating chair,attractive utensils and bla bla.

I tried many recipe which  worked for other children but didn't worked  for me. Everybody kept suggesting me do this and do that but that didn't help either.

I met doctors discussed about the problem and tried to find the solution,but they said only one thing keep on trying and try to understand your child ,she is doing good.

All these self made problems changed me from a cool mummy to some irritated mommy.

I kept on chanting   Nissim Ezekil  poem,For Kalpana  : 

Eat Eat my child

How thin you are.

One thing I learned that market is always ready to cash new mommy worries in form of attractive utensils,chair ,spoon,toys and many more.

Stop, you don't need to run after that,trust me it won't help.You will unnecessary pile up useless goods in your house which will occupy  baby play area.

Be careful before buying anything for baby ,as these sentiment will look like foolishness later.They need toys and other thing ,but above all they need you and your time.Play with them,laugh with them,make them identify the colors,spell the names,keep chanting catchy poems and words,they will be more connected and happy with you.

Your child is about to turn 1 ,now he likes standing and trying to lift his leg to walk ,his physical activity is increasing,so the demand of nutrition for his body.Now their body is capable enough to swallow and a bit of chewing in coming months.It's high time mom,ditch the puree food ,as this will not make their jaw strong.
