Six Tips To Avoid Diaper Rash In Babies

          

           Is your Baby crying and upset?? Diaper rash can be a reason for it...

          

 My baby was just a week old when she got diaper rash and I was wondering what I can do to avoid it. Then I found these few tips very helpful which can completely avoid diaper rash in babies.

1) Change :  

             Change the diaper every two to three hours. If baby is having stomach upset don't wait for three hours time line and keep an eye on baby's diaper and change it when needed.

2) Water Wipe :

              It's always better to use  water and cotton cloth to clean the area than using wet wipes. You can keep wet wipes to clean when you are out from house.

3) Air dry : 

              Let the area air dry completely before putting on a fresh diaper. Moisture in the area can irritate baby.

4) Diaper rash cream or oil :

             It's always better to put on a lighting coating of rash cream or coconut oil prior putting on a diaper.

5) Correct Size : 

             Always use correct size diaper. Baby will not be comfortable in wearing a diaper which is either loose or tight.

6) Quality of Diaper : 

             choosing a good Quality diaper is also very important. There are many brands & varieties of diaper available in market. Choose one which can absorb better and suits your baby.

         Do you have any other tips to avoid diaper rash?? Please comment.

Baby weaning - Part 1

 What is Weaning??

        

           Basically introducing foods to your baby is called Weaning. Weaning doesn't happen over night, it is a gradual process of switching your baby from breast milk to other foods. This post is all about my experience on how I started weaning my baby. 

Breastfeeding is not so easy and so is weaning. Doctor's recommend exclusively  breastfeeding baby until six months of age. But it is not always that every baby is ready for weaning at six months. Every baby is different some babies will be ready for solids even before six months and some take bit more time. 

Look out for weaning ready signs in baby like below.

* Does your baby reach out for toys and puts it in mouth.
* Can baby sit on high chair which can give a support to baby's back.
* Can baby hold the head up without anybody's support.
* Does baby shows interest in plates and spoon when you eat infornt of them.

    

       These are not the only signs, each baby might show different signs and who can guess it better than mom. Trust your instinct ladies...
    

Best foods to start with weaning.

       Below are the list of few fruits, vegetables and cereals which can be introduced to baby at six months

Fruits:

        It's always best to start with fruit purees as fruits will be light on stomach for digestion and babies will love natural sweet taste of fruits. You can give fruits like apple, banana, pears & avocado.

Vegetables :

        Not all veggies can be used as first food for babies. You can use veggies like carrot, potato, sweet potato & peas.

Cereals : 

        You can use cereals like rice, ragi or moong dal ( yellow mung beans ).

      Foods should be in form of puree when you start weaning to avoid any kind of chocking. Please be with us and check Baby weaning - Part 2  to know the ways of cooking and pureeing fruits, veggies & cereals for babies. 

      Please let us know what was the first food you introduced to your kidoo.

          

   

      
     

Importance of Vitamin D3 in babies

Hi Everyone, Welcome to Cheekoo Garden

Where do we get vitamin D from??
   From sun.... 

    That is the common answer which everyone gives and that is very much true.  Sun is the main source of vitamin D. But with current lifestyle we are so packed that we are not exposing ourselves to the naturally available sun rays.

        Vitamin D3 is required by babies too for proper development. It is said that mother's milk contains all the necessary nutrition required by baby in a proper proportion except vitamin D3. It is said that babies below an year need 400IU of vitamin D3 a day which cannot be fulfilled by breast milk alone. Doctors prescribe Vitamin D3 drops once a day as a routine at least for first six months from first month of birth itself.

        Babies bones are very fragile at the time of birth and they rapidly develop in the first year of baby's life. Vitamin D3 is the must needed for the proper bone and teeth development. 

        Vitamin D3 deficiency can lead to Rickets (it is a condition in which babies bones soften and become weak). Vitamin D3 supplements is available in different brand names through out the globe. Please Consult your doctor for proper dosage. 

        Common symptoms of vitamin D3 deficiency are delayed motor development, bone pain, delayed teething.

        Not only newborn babies, it is very important that pregnant ladies also take their vitamin D supplement for proper growth of baby in womb.

9 Common reasons why babies cry.

Hello Everyone Welcome to Cheekoo Garden

It is said that crying is the way of communication for new born baby. But it's not always that easy to guess what makes them cry or what makes them laugh. As parents we always try to find the reason why they are crying and want to soothe them.
Here are 9 common reasons which makes baby cry.

1) Hunger : 

            This is the basic why baby is crying. Because he is hungry and wants to be fed.

2)Time for a Diaper change : 

            It might be a sign of wet diaper and he/she wants it to be changed.

3)Sleepy:

            Oh!!! Poor baby might be sleepy... Babies sleep a lot during the first few months of life. Crying might be a sign that the baby is sleepy and wants to have a nap.

4)Gassy :

             Yes, babies tend to become gassy very soon and it irritates them a lot. Try soothing your baby by
          * Gental Tummy massage
          * Moving babies leg in form of bicycling
          * Bathing baby in warm water
          * Some parents suggest gripe water also helps in reliving baby gas

5)Too Hot or Too Cold :

      Try dressing babies in layers. If baby feels too warm remove a layer and if he feels cold add a layer.
      It is recommened to keep new born swaddled well to keep them warm so that they feel in womb. But always see that their body is not too warm.

6)Bored or Needs Attention :

     Like we adults babies also gets bored. Some time babies needs attention, they feel like staying in moms arms. You might have noticed a crying baby suddenly stops crying when mother picks it up. That is the magic of mothers touch.

7)Ear Pain or Infection :

      There are chances that baby has an ear infection or ear pain. Look out for babies guesture while crying, is he/she scratching head while crying, pulling ears or banging head. 
Few drops of ear medication to ears will soothe baby.

8) Not Feeling well :

      Check if baby has fever, nazal congestion or cold which is making baby cry. Carrying a handy basic medical kit always with you helps to provide immediate solution for the problem.
Checkout my 10 must haves of baby medical kit post to know what should be there in baby medical kit or box

9) Colic :

      Baby might be colic. Basically Colic doesn't need any treatment and it goes off by itself with the time. To know more about Colic Checkout my Colic in Newborn : How to handle post.


    Its better to consult doctor  if baby keeps crying for more than three to four hours and you have ruled out all the above reasons

Painless V/s Regular Vaccination ( DTaP V/s DTP)

Hi Everyone Welcome to Cheekoo Garden

         Painless Vaccination, I heard about this when my girl was 14 weeks old and I took her for vacciantion. Initially I thought painless vaccination is something which will have no pain at all. Later after some research I understood few things regarding painless vacciantion. Which I will be sharing through this post. Hope it will be helpful to other mommies.
          DTP is a Vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis, which is scheduled at 6, 10 & 14 weeks followed by two booster shots at 16-18 months & 4.5 - 5 years. For more details about complete vacciantion schedule please check my Baby Vaccination post.

Regular Vaccination (DTP or DTwP) :

 DTwP stands for Diphtheria, Tetanus and whole-cell Pertussis which provides immunity against Diphtheria, Tetanus and whooping Cough.

Painless Vaccination (DTaP) : 

    DTaP stands for  Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis. As the name itself says it consists fewer acellular antigens of Pertussis vacciantion. 
    It is not that Painless Vaccination does not have any pain and is equally painful as the other during administration. It is just that post vaccination side effects are less, like fever, swelling, redness, pain etc.
There are still lot of debate happening on the immunity provided by DTaP.

Are Painless Vaccination Effective?? :

      Painless vacciantion do prove immunization against the diseases but fails to prevent transmission and spread of Pertussis. In simple the person who has undergone DTwP is himself safe against the disease but can spread it to others, as the Pertussis can still live inside. 

DTP V/s DTaP :

* Effect of painless vaccination does not stay for long time in body when compared to regular ones.
* Regular vaccination provides better immunity.
* Both regular and painless are equally painful during administration.
* Cost of painless vaccination is much higher than that of the regular once. 

       IAP recommends DTP vaccine for Primary shots which are given at 6th, 10th & 14th week and DTaP vaccine for booster shots. DTaP vaccine is used for primary shots under certain conditions. Consult pediatrician before administration. 
I hope this information will be useful for new parents.



  

            

     

10 Must haves of Baby Medical kit

Hi Everyone welcome to Cheekoo Garden.

      

          There are many baby medical kits which are readily available in the market today, but i always preferred making a own medical kit for my baby. Because who knows what is best for my baby better than me. Each and every baby is different. No parents like to see their child unwell or crying and do everything to keep the child healthy and happy... But you can never guess when what goes wrong with your little ones.

        Morning the temperature will be normal but suddenly it shoots up by noon or evening. It is very important that we are always ready with the solution or basic medications... Its always better to have a handy baby medical kit. 

         I have put down a list of such ten must have things in baby medical kit, which you might need anytime.

1) A Digital Thermometer : Any time you feel that your baby is unwell, first thing you need to do is measure the temperature.
2) Paracetamol : depending on age and weight of the baby doctor will suggest you the medication and dosage. Don't forget to get it prescribed.
3) Nasal congestion drops and bulb syringe : Babies can have nasal congestion any time so it's better that you always have a congestion drops handy. It's necessary that you clean baby's nose regularly.
4) Medicine for cold and cough
5) Gas relief drops : Babies tend to get gassy very often, keeping a gas relief drops will easy your life.
6) Baby rub : when ever I get a hint that my girl is going to catch cold, I apply Vicks baby rub on her feet and chest and put on socks and dress her warmly and it really works.
7) Band aids & Antiseptic solutions.
8) Rash creams.
9) Cotton balls & swabs.
10) Baby nail cutter & Scissors.

Colic in Newborn : How to handle

Hi Everyone welcome to Cheekoo Garden

      
        Colic... What is that?? Is my baby colic?? This was  my reaction when my baby suddenly started this crying episodes... Is your new born crying continuously for hours without reason or are you not able to find the reason why your new born is crying? Is he/she colic?

      
         Well, in simple "When your baby is healthy and has no medical history, but still he /she cries uncontrollably at particular time of the day for at least three to four hours,then it might be a sign that your baby is Colic."

         Post my delivery everything was going so good, I was on cloud nine seeing my baby girl. Then this Colic episode kicked in which made my life miserable.

          She was just 5 weeks old when she suddenly started crying at around 11 P.M. It is very common as a new mom to get upset when your baby cries and you are not able to figure out the reason behind it. I was ready to do everything on earth which will soothe the baby... But what will i do?? 

          This was just the beginning, her cries used to reach the sky every night. It used to start some where around 11 to 12 in the night and used to reach its peak by 1 A.M or so... Then as if some magic has happened her cries used to drastically reduce and she used to go back to sleep by around 4 A.M.... 

          Oh god!!! My days where miserable when my girl was undergoing this colic episode. But why was she crying!? So many crazy assumptions as answer for this question... Is she gassy?? Ear infection?? Diaper rash?? Mosquito bite?? Does she has any serious issue?? What the hell has happened....

          Then I took her to doctor, after ruling out all the above, doctor said she might be "Colic"... Then I got this simple explanation from my doctor "When your baby is healthy and has no medical history, but still he /she cries uncontrollably at particular time of the day for at least three to four then it might be a sign that your baby is Colic". There is no proven evidence why some babies are prone to this. Colic does not need any treatment. It is not going to cause any long term effect to your baby. In most of the babies it goes off by six months of age, some might carry it on till one year... 

         All you need is to have patience and help your child to go through this phase... I was lucky that my girls crying episodes lasted for just few weeks and she was fine when she hit her 12th week. But there were times, when me and mom had to carry her in arms alternatively for whole night to soothe her... She used to refuse feeds and become so fussy... As days passed her colic episodes where over and she developed a proper sleep cycle like how adults do. Yes she do wake up in between for her feed and goes back to sleep after feed which is very normal. Today am a happy mom of my cute little doll.

         Dear mommies if you are in the same boat then please have patience. Your days will definitely get better when your baby develops his/her proper sleep cycle.

        Are you also the mom who is undergoing this or had undergone this with your baby. What did you do to soothe your baby? Please share your suggestions.

        

Tribute to all Mothers!

Hi Everyone Welcome to Cheekoo Garden

  "Thank You Mom... Love You..."

             It's not mother's day today, its just another ordinary day in our busy life. " Thank You Mom... Love You... " This is the first thing which i told my mom as soon as i got up. 

             Somewhere in the midnight when I was in deep sleep my 10 month old daughter got up for her feed, while feeding her I was just thinking how easy my life was before being a mom. I had no diapers to change, no mid night waking ups, cooking, cleaning etc., Life has become so complicated after having a baby, but then i just looked at my girl's face who had by then finished her feed n was back to sleep. Seeing her cute face my heart said nothing is difficult when it comes to my little girl, I can do anything and everything for her. Then i thought about my mother, who has done lot more for me. She has taken care of me since the time i was in her womb, did everything which i am doing for my baby now.
           In fact she has done lot more than this. Don't know how many days she has sacrificed her sleep for me. Even she might have changed all her priorities and made me as her priority. I was then very young to understand all this at that time. I remember since my childhood there are so many instances when i have yelled at her, had so many complaints, was some times not happy about what she did.But she never complained, she kept taking care of me even if my words had hurt her. I never understood how much love she had for me as a mom. 
          Even today when i am a mother myself my mom is with me taking care of me, guiding me in each and every step of life. She has been a support of my life, what ever I am today is all because of her, because of her sacrifice and her caring.
           Then I thought, have I ever  told her thank you for what she has been doing since so many years, or have I ever told her sorry for hurting her. No i have never, because i never understood what it takes being a mother. 
           Yes I have wished her on mother's day, but wishing her now is completely different. It's a wish from a mother to mother for being a great mother. Now i understand her greatness and my mistakes. Early morning as soon as i got up i went to my mom and said.
" Thank You Mom... Love You.... I don't know if i can be a good mother like you to my daughter but i will definitely try to follow you.Sorry for hurting you."

 Have you ever felt same ?? Have you ever wished you mom ?? If not please do it, we don't have to wait for another mother's day  to say thank you or sorry to our dear moms. 

Recovery Post Delivery

Hello mommies and soon to be mommies Welcome to Cheekoo Garden

          Postpartum recovery is something which doesn't happen in few days or weeks. Your body has gone through so much from past nine months. Post delivery you'll be on the peak of happiness seeing your cute little baby. But ladies remember now its not only your baby who needs your attention, its also your body. Yes, you are as important as your baby. 

  It doesn't matter you had a normal delivery or C-section, your body has done so much of hard work and now it really really needs some caring. This post is all about my experience of post delivery recovery. If you are a new mommy or soon going to a mommy then this is really going to help you.

1)Take Rest:

            You will be happy seeing your little bundle of joy, but make sure you get plenty of rest for yourself. Because your body has under gone so much of trauma during the delivery and also from past nine months to successfully shape your baby.
  Take it easy even if you feel better at first, initially you might be on pain killers when in hospital. Your Uterus starts to shrink back to normal post delivery doesn't happen in a single day.

2)Follow healthy diet 

            Maintain a healthy diet, also you are the source of nutrition for your baby. Postpartum constipation is very common, talk to your doctor and get some stool softener prescribed. Consume plenty of fluids.

3)Maintain proper Hygiene

You had  Normal delivery or C-Section, maintaining proper hygiene is very very important. If you had a C-section you'll be off dressing by a week or 10 days, don't forget to get some antiseptic powder prescribed from your doctor. Do not apply anything to the surgery area without your doctors consent.

4)Massage and Hot bath

Its a good idea to get body massage for few days. Massage and hot bath helps you in feeling fresh and also helps your body to come back in shape soon. Its better to hire a professional massage ladies who are specialized in postpartum body massage, they give massage to you as well as your baby. Its worth investing.

5)Take your supplements

Iron and Calcium pills are must taken supplements post delivery. Remember you are going to bleed for days or even month post delivery. Your bones are weak and needs to be strengthened. Doctors prescribe them for three months or six months or even more depending on your body condition. 

For some ladies multivitamin tablets are prescribed depending on their condition.

6) Keep yourself warm

            Post delivery your immunity will be very low and you'll be in high risk of catching cold and cough. So keep yourself warm and take extra care that you don't catch cold or any allergy. Coughing after C-Section there might be chances of the stitches to loosen. 

Also remember its you who is very close to your baby. So if you get cold there are high chances that you pass it on to your baby and your babies immune system is still developing and is not yet ready for it.

So ladies this is it, take a very good care of yourself and your baby. I wish you a happy Motherhood

Baby Walk - Caring a New Born Baby

Hi Mommies welcome to cheekoo garden.

Are you a new mother or soon going to be a mom then this post is for you.I am here with my experience of caring my new born baby.

Caring new born baby is a really challenging task especially for first time mothers. It was really a big challenge for me too, but thanks for my dear Mom & Mother-in-law who guided me how to take care of a new born baby. In this post i would like share some of the tips about caring your new born baby.

Dear Mommies first thing you need to have is patience, yes you really need a lot of it. Your new born baby requires a lot of your time, love and cuddling.

1) Breastfeeding your baby :

Feed your baby as much as possible, it helps in creating a bond between you and your baby. Also Breastfeeding has many advantages for both mom and baby. Mother's milk contains natural antibodies which helps baby fight against many diseases. Doctor's suggest breastfeeding your baby exclusively at least for the first six months.

Some tips on breastfeeding :

* Don't forget to burp your baby after each feed. 

* Always feed your baby in sitting position at least for first 3 months.

* Feed your baby every two hours at least for 15 to 20 minutes.

* Make sure you feed on both breasts every time or alternatively.

2) Umbilical cord :

Your babies Umbilical cord falls off after few days of birth. Take extra care of it, clean it gently.

Its better to give sponge bath to babies till it dries completely or take special care of the area while bathing the baby.

3) Handling a newborn baby : 

* support your baby's head and neck well while holding your baby in hand

* Take care of soft spots (also called Fontanelles) on your baby's head.

4) Sleeping : 

A new born baby sleeps most of the time almost around 18 hours a day, but make sure that you feed your baby every two hours. Be gently while waking your baby for feed. Always make your baby to sleeps on their back and not in stomach down position.

       Some babies sleeps throughout the day and awakes up in the night ( Like my little girl did ). Dear mommies this is the time when you really need to have patience. Few babies tend to cry so much in night (Colic), which will eventually reduce and they will soon develop a proper sleep cycle.

5) Changing baby diaper:

Change your baby diapers often. This is very important as diaper rashes make your baby  really fussy. 

Some tips on diapering :

* Change your baby's diaper every two to three hours

* Clean the area well and let it air dry before putting on an new diaper

* Keep some reuseable cloth diapers to use when your baby has diaper rashes

* Use correct size diapers

* Use diaper rash cream before putting on diaper.

6) Dressing your Little Bud :

Dress your baby in such a way that baby's body is not too cold nor too hot. Swaddling your baby is really a good idea which makes baby to feel in womb.

7) Massaging and Bathing : 

Massaging your baby is very important, it helps baby in many ways. But what matters is the way how you massage your baby. Different types of oils are used to massage a new born depending on the climatic condition. You can use coconut oil, mustard oil, almond oil, olive oil etc.   

Water should not be too cold nor too hot while bathing your baby. 

Some tips on bathing your baby :

* Take extra care of the babies navel while giving bath till it dries completely. 

* Be careful while giving head bath to your baby as babies fontanelles are still soft and babies head and neck are not so strong and needs support.

* Wipe your baby well especially below neck, armpit area, near thighs and their genital area.

Few More General Parenting tips

* Always keep your baby's skin Moisturized.

* Minimize the use of baby powder.

* Use Vitamin D3 drops daily (Consult your doctor regarding dosage).

* Wash your hands well before touching baby.

* Avoid any unwell person coming near your baby.

* Vaccinate your baby in time.

So if you are in or over 35th week of your pregnancy this is really going to help you to pack your stuff to hospital.
