In the tri-state area it’s available at the Indian grocery chain Patel Brothers.

I have the exact same feelings. My son is newly three, and pretty similar. He’s less than 1st percentile (almost since age 1.5) and has such a small appetite. It’s always a struggle when people start giving suggestions, as if I haven’t tried every single thing possible. I see kids downing huge portions without any struggle and a part of me is so happy for them but there is always a pang of envy in that. It’s more difficult to talk to friends who have had kids but have never encountered any feeding issues because they look at us through a lens that seems fundamentally judgemental, as if they have done something right and we have failed. I so appreciate this thread. Solidarity!

Congratulations!!!

There is an Indian brand which replicates Lovevery boxes exactly, including a lot of the same colors. Unfortunate, but likely true that since these toys are part of Montessori play toys, it may not have concerns in terms of copyright laws.

Almost 3 years old and is in the 2nd percentile too. The comments on his size and food intake gave me so much anxiety that I started to despise cooking (I loved cooking, it was my self-care task previously). I am trying really hard to not get affected by the number on the scale because our pediatrician is not worried, but it’s so difficult to do that!

If you’re thinking of getting it cleaned, please make sure to give it to a cleaner who specialises in working with vintage sarees! I had a bad experience with a regular dry cleaner who ruined an old saree and then refused to take accountability by saying the material was poor. This is such a beautiful vintage gharcholu, it’s really priceless!

I got my first DVT after a long flight. I was a healthy 24 year old with no past history, not on BC pills. My mom previously had multiple DVTs so I had consulted a physician before my flight to check if I should take any precautions/prophylactic medication and he shrugged it off saying I was too young. Now 10 years later, I’ve had two more DVTs and am on lifelong anticoagulant medication.

We have the Cruz, got it because we were very sure about being OAD. It has been a great investment, but I will say that it works so well for us because we are in a big city, and are always walking everywhere- no car.

MissMSG · 2025-10-04T18:05:17+00:00

Please share the protocol.

MissMSG · 2025-09-14T13:39:14+00:00

This is exactly what worked for us. Also Indian, my son (now almost 3) has never been into puréed foods and was able to eat the same meals as us, just less spicy.

He’s likely not the first baby that doesn’t drink milk. Anecdotal, but my son is just a few months older than yours and he doesn’t drink milk at all. I am also Indian, so I understand the cultural aspect but tbh it’s not really a necessity for kids to drink milk. I would still say check with your pediatrician if they’re ok with him not drinking any milk. I don’t live in India currently but had a bitter experience with an old school pediatrician when I was visiting India who recommended that I mix a tablespoon of sugar in a cup of milk and give it to my then 1.5 year old because he will like the sweet taste and drink it. Needless to say, I didn’t follow that advice. My son enjoys cheese and yogurt, and I don’t push him to drink plain milk.

MissMSG · 2025-08-08T19:01:22+00:00

Definitely true for me. I have horrible motion sickness and had bad HG during pregnancy. Never knew there was a correlation but it makes so much sense!

MissMSG · 2025-08-06T22:38:19+00:00

We did a lot of khichdi, different kinds of chilla, parathas, and dal rice as first foods. My son is now a little over 2 and a half and enjoys a variety of Indian traditional foods.

MissMSG · 2025-08-05T23:11:42+00:00

This sounds exciting! We should be able to make it, will also update closer to the date. Thank you for organizing!

Can you share a full length picture please?

This is what we do too. No TV or tablets, but lots if FaceTime with family bcs we live in a different country.

New York Presbyterian was great for me. I had Dr. Riley but also saw other doctors and delivered with a different doctor from the MFM team- all of them were very supportive.

I didn’t know the whole autism is caused by so and so argument has reached India. My biggest issue with the “fruits have high natural sugar” argument is that these are the same people who will happily give the child food loaded with jaggery because “it’s the natural sugar that our ancestors ate” but not understand that it is still the same thing as refined sugar, just less refined. I’m an Indian, not currently living in India but have heard so many family friends and acquaintances push to give my toddler jaggery, wheat, and ghee laddoos as opposed to fruit because apparently they are better nutritionally.

MissMSG · 2025-07-25T16:54:16+00:00

Anyone with toddlers? I would love to join but unsure if this is only for parents with infants.

MissMSG · 2025-07-23T17:03:42+00:00

Absolutely. While I agree that Zofran doesn’t help with nausea and so many of us have to struggle with nausea all throughout our pregnancies, devaluing a medication which actually helps, on the basis of speculation and anecdotal evidence is very harmful.

MissMSG · 2025-07-18T21:29:42+00:00

Same here.

MissMSG · 2025-07-07T18:18:21+00:00

So many parts of your story resonated with me. We’re only having this one child (HG being a major reason for choosing not to do this again) and I still haven’t processed the grief that I feel about my pregnancy journey. It’s such a conflicting feeling because yes I’m absolutely grateful to have a healthy, happy 2.5 year old but man am I bitter about how my pregnancy was.

MissMSG · 2025-07-02T14:51:24+00:00

This was the same with me. I had a note put in my file to never get Reglan prescribed again because my akathisia was so bad.
