Breaking old traditions: Bringing up baby

I have realized not with ease that bringing up a baby is easy but picking the right advice to follow among the thousands of cries is the difficult part. Overbearing but definitely well meaning people, keep correcting our judgement, actions and intentions when it comes to baby "rearing". Yes!! it almost seems like a art yet to master to young mommies like me :(.

I have resorted to reading books (What to expect the first year by Heidi Murkoff) and online resources available to guide me while I go along this scary journey step by step. It seems scary because no mom would like to do something now which we have to repent later, or wish we had done something in the earlier months, which doctors now point out as the reason for so and so problems.

Some tips from my side too: :) :) :), I have also joined the gang of overbearing and well meaning people you may say :P :P.

What I have read is that the plastics in feeding bottle could be harmful when we try to heat milk in it or when we boil them for sterilizing, and BPA free bottles or good old glass ones are the way to go ahead. So let's be BPA free and keep our babies safe:)

Beat the heat with online shopping!

To shopping buffs like me, whether we buy or not does not matter but browsing through endless galleries of dresses, trinkets or shoes is important for our rejuvenation. Now come summer this becomes a ordeal difficult to achieve. Added to that having taken a break from work makes the brain go in a tizzy with nothing to occupy it. Hail Online Shopping!!!!

I have discovered that the simple pleasure of window shopping can be done by perusing through online catalogues on various sites, (www.fashionandyou.com and www.firstcry.com being my top favorites). And when sale time comes, it is la la time in shopping land for me.

E-commerce has come to India, and it is big, seeing the rate at which products go sold out or out of stock on these websites, brings me to the conclusion that the way India shops has changed, and changed for good. With convenient ways to browse sitting at home, credit card availability, and some disposable income available at the hand of us young netizens we are ready.

So go India go!! And goodbye to lagging home loads of shopping bags and hello to courier convenience at your doorstep:).
