We understand that as parents you need to strategise and plan everything before you step out with your kid. 

Every trip that you take out with your baby, be it grocery shopping or a road trip, it all requires careful planning, strategising and execution so you don’t face any adversities in the middle of your trip. 

Worry not, as we have prepared a simple checklist for you to keep in mind for a day out with your baby:

1- Feeding

This is one of the most important part of your checklist so try to carry all their feeding essentials before you step out of the house. 

If you are breastfeeding your child, then carry something to cover yourself with while you breast feed your child. 

If you are bottle feeding, then carry a clean, sterilised bottle, clean water, formula dispenser and a formula packet. 

You can also carry burping clothes to catch any of their spit-ups. 

If your child is a little older, you can carry small snacks, water bottles and a bib.

As festive season approaches, as parents you must be excited to buy some new clothes for your baby so you can dress them up in cute outfits or even matching outfits to take family pictures. 

Shopping for kids and finding the right clothes for them is definitely not easy so we have curated several things you should keep in mind when you go out shopping for your child. 

The important points for you to remember while choosing clothes for your kid:-

1- Fabric 

Always choose a fabric that is the most comfortable and feels good on their skin as comfort is truly essential.

Wearing cotton fabrics is also good for children suffering from eczema, various skin rashes or skin itching. They allow the skin to breathe. 

2- Simple clothes

Instead of making your child wear fancy clothes that are uncomfortable with ribbons and frills, choose clothes that are simple and comfortable.

How many times have you looked at your baby and wondered why they feel fussy or start crying?  

Like most parents, it will take a long time before your baby can communicate with you  whether they are thirsty, hungry, hurt or want your hugs. 

But what if we tell you that there is a way that babies can communicate with you even without talking? This will not only make your life easier but will help strengthen your bond with your child from an early age. 

Teaching your baby to communicate through sign languages is not only fun but will allow them to tell you when they are hungry, need to change, feel too hot or cold or want something more. 

Let’s talk about the actual importance of teaching your baby sign language:-

This will ensure you won’t feel helpless trying to guess why your baby is crying.

Worry not, because we are here to give you detailed information on why low appetite happens and provide you with solutions to help increase their appetite. 

Here are the causes of low appetite for some children:

1- Zinc

If your baby suffers from low level of zinc then they might not get hungry as much as zinc produces hydrochloric acid that is required for the proper digestion of food particles. 

To increase the levels of zinc, you can give them chicken, cashew nuts or pumpkin seeds.

2- Appetite Slump

After 3-4 months, a baby’s growth slows down and they need less calories which can lead to an appetite slump.
