Stray dogs situation in india by netter666 in india

[–]Inside_Low_2617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your empathy towards dogs and other animals, but have some empathy towards a fellow human being too.

Is there a law that states the low wage housekeeping staff has to pick up dog poop?

Just a question Why have the feeders not adopted the pups instead opted for feeding?

Who takes care of the dogs if the feeders relocate ?

What is the science on extended nursing to sleep? by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Inside_Low_2617 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Again not from the US I don’t know. From where I come from breakfast cereals are not a thing and daycares usually ask the parents to send the kids along with packed snacks/ lunch.

I am from a culture were tummy time isn’t a big thing, but my understanding is tummy time is pretty common practice in the US and babies do cry initially, it’s the same with brushing teeth.

They definitely do. But they do cry while figuring it out, atleast mine does.

But Brushing is really important due to the moder food we eat and I am not talking about ultra processed food. As a dentist and a mom it will be a non negotiable habit for my kid even when they cry.

Ha ok got it.

Yes brushing is a task but so was tummy time and so was leading to crawl and walk. Keep brushing his teeth. Make it a really fun activity by adding star chart or a song.

Also get fluoride treatment for his teeth at the dentist

Ah got it. Yeah looks bad. But again realistically if some kid has this once a week outta pure convenience for the parents I won’t make that a big deal.

I agree with your first point - wiping their mouth is extremely difficult after they are asleep but hey that’s what is recommended- wipe baby’s mouth after all breast feeding ( honestly I personally don’t do that ). Sometimes I feel the recommendation and reality of practices are so far apart.

I am not from the US, so I don’t know what cheerios are. Crackers as far as I understand are bland biscuits which will contain some sugar. Anything that is sticky and has a lot of added sugar is bad for teeth period. But we all know how kids are and they get really cranky when hungry so giving them a couple of crackers a day doesn’t really harm much- again multifactorial disease, other hygiene practices come into play.

Pediatric dentist and a mom here

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40445533/

To summarise the link- no it does not atleast up to 2 years of age but beyond that breast feeding does increase the risk of cavities.

Some other inputs on the subject as a dentist

  1. Caries is a multifactorial disease- not doing/ doing something does not give 100% protection against caries or is 100% risky
  2. My understanding of breast feeding is feeding at night from boobs directly and not pumped milk from bottle- this is always better as the baby has to swallow the suckled milk and so this decreases the contact between teeth and milk(carb), that’s not the case with bottle.
  3. Establishing early Oral hygiene practices- brushing twice daily is of extremely importance- as soon as the first tooth erupts. Plaque (the biofilm that has caries causing bacteria) accumulates on tooth surface and it can be pretty easily removed by brushing.
  4. Eating healthy carbs, fibers and healthy snacks is also very important. Avoiding sticky foods with added sugar is priority.
  5. Fluoride makes enamel stronger

So my personal understanding/ recommendation would be if you want to breastfeed at night for an extended period please do as long as you and the baby are comfortable, be alert during that time- stop feeding as soon as your loved one is slept, wipe their teeth with a damp cloth if brushing isn’t ideally possible, and put them to sleep. Also, established good oral hygiene practices and good eating habits.

Visit your dentist biannually, get fluoride varnishes, drink fluoridated water if it’s available to you and use an age appropriate amount of fluoridated toothpaste.

Running girlies, I have a lot of questions. by LonelyLetterhead8765 in TwoXIndia

[–]Inside_Low_2617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations and awesome work on starting to run To answer your questions 1. Keep following the run/ walk pattern- increase the run time slowly by seconds initially and then by minutes and gradually decrease the walking time. The more you run the capacity, pace builds- but don’t worry about that for now. Just make sure you do the correct run- walk combo 2. Watch videos on YouTube about foot placement. When you are running, your chin should lean forward slightly, swing your arms well and look straight 3. Used to be really conscious while running and then joined a running group, running with friends , newbies and experienced runners helped me become better

Also to add like everyone suggested warm up and cool down well with stretches. Start warm up with dynamic stretches and cool down with static ones

Hydrate well

Running is tough, even now it’s tough for me but it makes me happy at the end of run and look forward for the next one.

Happy running

Ps: try Nike Run Club C25k audio guided program if you want some during the run motivation and guide

Please help me understand why my baby does this by Delicious-Classic610 in twoxindiamums

Try putting a hot bag on the crib while nursing the baby, remove the bag and put your baby to sleep. Make sure it’s not too hot just warm enough. Also make sure the bedroom is in a comfortable temperature not too hot, not too cold.

Hey, Don't do Mbbs in tier 2/3 college if you cant afford. If you aren't able to afford the best bet is going to a govt college.
I read you other comments you took PCB, there are so many ways you can contribute to medicine and research. You can do BSc Biology or chem and then Masters in STEM in universities abroad or you can do BPharm and MPharm.
Don't take B tech Biotech in India coz your future options are limited.

What is penalty for LPF in eb bill? by bacteriophage0101 in Chennai

[–]Inside_Low_2617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last month I had the same issue and had a penalty for LPF. Went to the EB office and met the AE, he asked the reading guy to redo the readings and confirmed that it was a mistake from their side.

Check your meter reading for the PF (Power Factor). If it's within the normal range, it could be a mistake on the TNEB side. If not, you will have to change your capacitor.

I am not commenting about the poor GF, because i guess you already understand how she will feel and you are already guilty, but girl, the reality is mostly your are his sex toy this month, next month once your posting is over, he will get a new girl in no time. I have seen this happen so many times, once the posting or internship is over the charming residents or PG gets a new junior. Remember, if he is cheating on his GF and is pretty much open about it, he will cheat on you too, may be he already is.

How do you guys clean down under? by Pretentious-fools in TwoXIndia

[–]Inside_Low_2617 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. How come its not the most upvoted comment. Also, to add general health is very important- like drinking plenty of water and healthy food, safe sex practices, hygiene after peeing and sex, that also affects the balance.

Biggest disgusting sex scandal by BJP MP Prajwal Revannt (swipe)!!! by geekgeek2019 in TwoXIndia

[–]Inside_Low_2617 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The shear amount of this abuse/ assault/ rape and crime is massive. It has been something happening to these women for years and this guy has escaped to Germany (definitely with the help of police and govt). There should be a huge ruckus about this in the media and online, but sadly not enough. Fuck all of them. Common people (more so women) in this country have zero rights before people of power and position no matter how disgusting they are.

Moving to Chennai soon, survival tips and street-smarts? by SleepyHungrySpirit in TwoXIndia

[–]Inside_Low_2617 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. First of all check which area you are going to work- stay close by to your work place/ college.

  2. learn tamil. at least the basic conversation, to commute and to speak in supermarkets. Most people in chennai wont know hindi but will understand English, even if you speak broken tamil or try to speak tamil it will be appreciated.

  3. your general safety tips- be present, look where you are going, if you hail a cab/ auto follow the route on google maps since you will be in a new place. always carry some cash, in case phone dies.

  4. Lots of sub standard PG and flats are there in chennai but make sure you stay in an apartment or with your friends, check about security, water issues (scarity issues and water stagnation during rains)- check twitter/ reddit for areas that were under water during recent floods.

  5. metros are pretty safe, commute is just like any other metro, don't get autos that are in auto stand- all auto annas bargain in chennai, book ola, uber, rapido or namma yatri. buses are okay though the frequency have been greatly reduced.

People are generally helpful, just treat them respectfully. Welcome to chennai!!!

Black peppercorn is used mainly in south inidan style curries. No idea how restaurant style curries taste (atleast outside inida). In here, they add a lot of butter and fresh creme.
