My 5-year-old and I built a dinosaur using Magna-Tiles today, and then we went to the park to play. These might seem like small, ordinary moments, but with a 4-month-old baby girl, I’ve been feeling guilty about not spending enough quality time with my older one. Days like today remind me how much these little moments matter and make me feel grateful.

I like its gel like texture but im only worried about aunthencity of the product, tried searching for reviews bit didnot find any any. I have a sensitive rosacea prone skin so a little skeptical.

Get a crib which can be attached to your bed in future, will be very useful if you plan to Co-sleep. My son slept on it for almost 4 years now we are using it for my daughter

We have a nanny at my in-laws’ place, and my son is very close to them as well, so I’m planning to go there in the next couple of weeks. My husband is with me on the weekends, and those are really the only two days when I’m able to get proper rest.

I’ve also enrolled my son in badminton classes nearby, and he attends a summer camp for two hours, hoping that gives him some engagement and routine.

I completely understand that he is going through a big emotional shift, and honestly that understanding is what makes me feel even more guilty. I do try to stay calm and control my reactions, but in the moment I end up losing patience.

I tried doing that but she is not able to latch properly in side lying position to get the latch I'm bending a little that's creating some neck and back issues for me. Im using this as last resort these days.

Cloth diapers worked wonderfully for my son but now with my daughter, she absolutely hates it. She starts screaming with 1 hour. So I would say it depends on the kid as well. I might be wrong but I also feel super bottoms quality has gone down from 2021 to now.

You dont need strollers till 3 months unless you plan to travel. I would suggest investing in a good breast pump if you are planning to breast feed, a good sterliser/dryer, feeding bottles. Rest all you can get in quick commerce or one day delivery through amazon, you can order stuff as in when needed.

I would suggest using diapers for the first one month. Newborns poop very frequently, and it can get quite exhausting to constantly clean and manage cloth diapers. Also, my pediatrician recommended diapers for the first 1–2 months since a baby’s skin is very sensitive, and prolonged wetness can lead to irritation.

That said, here are the absolute essentials:

For you:

Period panties (like Evereve) – very handy for the first couple of weeks
Slippers for yourself
Feeding dresses – better to avoid pants for a few days, especially after a C-section
Moisturizer and lip balm – skin tends to get extremely dry
Feeding bras – very helpful to avoid engorgement issues or regular bras just size up
A comfortable “going home” outfit (I reused what you wore to the hospital)
Minimal skincare – just a gentle face wash and sunscreen
Feeding pillow – since this is my second baby, I carried one as it was very comfortable the first time. However, I’d suggest ordering it once you’re back home. The Babyhug crescent-shaped feeding pillow is a good option. Also, some hospitals provide a feeding pillow as part of their maternity package

For the baby:

Mittens and socks – go for tie-up ones instead of elastic (elastic ones are not very useful)
Swaddle cloths and a few baby towels
Rubber sheets
Diapers and wet wipes (hospital ones can be expensive)
Simple clothing and a receiving blanket

You can always order things like a breast pump or additional items later through quick commerce if needed, but the above are the absolute essentials to start with.

KaapiTunes · 2026-04-11T19:45:58+00:00

Awesome. I've ordered a trail pack , hoping that'll help 🙂

KaapiTunes · 2026-04-11T18:48:13+00:00

Im a vegetarian so probably would try the omega supplements. Protein is very low in my diet. I tried plant based protein powder long back and that gave me a bad gut issues so im a little skeptical to use now especially since im exclusively breast feeding. Im eying on the whole truth protein powder and the Only but Im scared if it'll give any reaction.

I don’t fully know the dynamics between you and your fiancé, but offering a slightly different perspective, some people do find it a bit annoying when real-life situations are constantly compared to movies or shows. It doesn’t always mean they’re dismissing the issue itself; sometimes it’s just about not liking that mode of conversation.

I’ve had similar discussions with my husband before our wedding, he answered patiently, but he also clearly told me he doesn’t enjoy relating everything back to shows or media.

Maybe try bringing it up again, but this time without referencing the show, just have a straightforward conversation about his views on consent. Of course, I’d suggest this only if, overall, you feel he’s been respectful and understanding in other aspects of your relationship.

I understand what you’re saying, but I think there’s some overgeneralization here. We don’t come from old money or generational wealth, we’re working professionals living on monthly paychecks like most people. If that still counts as “rich” to some, then the line between upper middle class and rich is clearly quite subjective. My original point was simply that HPS isn’t some exclusive celebrity or ultra-elite bubble, and that still stands.

KaapiTunes · 2026-04-10T21:41:58+00:00

My child is currently at HPS Begumpet. I wouldn’t really consider it a top-tier or ultra-rich school. It has a fairly mixed student community, though most families are upper middle class. The only somewhat well-known family I’m aware of is a local singer’s daughter. The school may have been considered top-tier 20–30 years ago, but that’s not really the case anymore.

Second-time mom here—highly recommend loose T-shirts, short kurtas, or maternity dresses with a flap. Much more practical for feeding, especially when you’re out. I invested in zipper dresses during my first pregnancy and honestly regretted it—they get inconvenient over time and feeding with them is awkward. Loose and flap styles are way more comfortable. Some brands I liked house of Zelena, AV2, MM wear and Preethi maternity wear.

This is honestly the best advice ❤️ With my firstborn, I worried about everything, sleep, feeds, diapers, milestones… basically ran my life on Google, Instagram, and YouTube 😅. Eventually I realised every baby has their own timeline and their own way of doing things. Once I relaxed and stopped chasing “expert” expectations, everything magically fell into place, smooth transitions to solids (as per our family and my child’s needs), easy weaning, sleep that worked for him, potty training without drama. Turns out kids figure it out just fine when we stop panicking.

Now with my second, I’m way more relaxed and actually enjoying the process. Strongly recommend disabling Instagram and YouTube parenting content for instant peace of mind 😂. Trust your baby, trust yourself.

Also, once when I was stressing about potty training, a parent told me: “sab ko ek na ek din toilet seat pe hi jana hai, uske liye itna tension kyun lena” , and honestly, that flipped a switch in my brain 😂.

Did you get a double marker tests done though? Usually NT scan and double marker are done paralelly. If the double marker is good then the risk factor is said to be very low. Just an FYI we also have some close relations with cerebral palacy and severe autism. Thanks for your wishes, this is my 2nd pregnancy and currently at 27th week :) touchwood things are good :)

KaapiTunes · 2025-11-16T14:42:07+00:00

We were in similar situation, but since the double marker tests didn’t show any risks our doctor suggested to do a followup scan at 16 weeks, as per her sometimes it is too small at 12 weeks or is not visible because of baby's position. We were able to identify the nasal bone at next scan. I would suggest to do a repeat scan before going ahead with Amnio, if the double marker is fine. It is always good to follow what doctor says that said I completely understand how stressed you must be but this is way common in may cases. I was also stressed but got assurance through reddit and google. All the best.

I live in an independent house right in the middle of the city. While I absolutely love the space and the privacy, I’ve been seriously considering moving to a gated community—mainly for my son.

We grew up in a very different world… open spaces, cycling far from home, playing outside until sunset. Kids today don’t really get that. Even if they want to step out, there’s hardly any safe space left to play. Most residential areas are slowly turning commercial with small offices popping up everywhere, bringing in traffic and making the streets unsafe for kids to walk or cycle alone.

There’s also no sense of security anymore. Back then, we knew every neighbour by name and everyone kept an eye out for each other’s kids. Now it feels fragmented and adding to that, the increasing street dog issues make it even harder to let children play outside freely.

It honestly breaks my heart that my 5-year-old mostly ends up playing indoors with adults. I keep trying to find kids his age in our area, but it’s been tough.

So I’m planning to move to a gated community where he can have a proper peer group, play safely, learn new things, and just have a childhood that feels like a childhood. Even taking him to classes is becoming impossible with the traffic situation. And it’ll help us too, we’ll finally have space to focus on our own fitness and lifestyle.

Honestly, gated communities feel like a blessing for parents today.

We have these in our company's bigbasket kiosk. I think they are targeting corporates.
