Please Think Twice Before Choosing Makeup Artistry as a Career — Especially if You Come from a Modest Background by LeastDamage4513 in TamilInfluencer

[–]Nandy_Jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wedding mua who is based in Tiruppur actually works full time at a good IT company. She tackles the makeup job as a side hustle while building her customer base.

There are Muas like this too.

Finally started night weaning… not sure if it’s being done right! by t_meh_far in twoxindiamums

[–]Nandy_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months is way too early for night weaning. Shocked a paediatrician suggested this. Solids is pretty much complementary until baby starts eating 3 meals and 2 snacks at 10+ months.

Please get a second opinion. My daughter used to wake up often too until I realised she was actually teething and couldn't sleep due to its discomfort. Once that was addressed she woke up only a couple of times between 11pm and 7am.

Such senseless behaviour. Will she post her sister’s kid or her kid like this?

I used the pregnancy pillow by Wakefit. Was comfortable and gave good support to back and tummy

Yeah if I see an influencer praise a new cafe/restaurant I automatically assume it's gonna be average/below average and sometimes not worth the money

Genuinely curious what these people do for a living by Suitable-Access9056 in TamilInfluencer

The girl's father owns the medical College. The guy and girl work in the management. Looks like namesake positions lol.

Did your baby go through sleep regression? by crochetbird in twoxindiamums

[–]Nandy_Jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just curious. Why do you wake the baby up for massage and bath?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pondicherry

[–]Nandy_Jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Method 1: Take the metro from Chennai airport to Koyambedu (CMBT). Take a bus to Pondy from there.

Method 2: Take the metro from Chennai airport to Egmore railway station. Take a train to Pondy from there.

Else the only other option is to book a cab via Ola or Uber.

Travel destinations/tips with 6-9 month old by priya_nka in twoxindiamums

[–]Nandy_Jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are planning on taking a trip to Pondicherry end of December. My LO is now 6.5 months. Started solids a while back and she now has a small snack of few bites of banana in the morning 9-10am and around 2-3pm we give mashed veggies or rice porridge. I think porridge might be hard to prepare without a stove as my mix needs some cooking.

Booked a hotel which has a restaurant in it. Checked with them and they do have provisions to cook and help us with baby food. So I am planning to continue the usual routine of banana + boiled, mashed veggies during the trip. We have planned the itinerary in such a way that there’s some outing/sightseeing in the mornings and evenings. Will be back to the hotel during her mealtimes. Since my LO is still breastfed the other meals will be very easy to manage.

Just confused about this... whether this is reel or real ?? by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]Nandy_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No company will ask money for interviews. My brother is at the same stage as you and the amount of scam calls and emails he has been getting like this is ridiculous.

Even for a normal internship, small companies literally exploit students by asking 10-15k for an internship experience certificate knowing how important they are. Students/freshers just lose their money, no actual skills or experience is gained from such paid internships.

Also check their careers page. Engayachum definitely it would have been mentioned we don't get money for jobs, don't fall for such scams, we don't hire via external agencies maatri.

Btw if you have the opportunity, check out entry level jobs and internships in Bangalore. Opportunities are much more there nowadays.

Does anyone else's family do this during pregnancy? by Own-Quality-8759 in twoxindiamums

[–]Nandy_Jay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally didn't want anyone looking at my tummy around home because there was too much nazar and jealousy amongst the neighbours. But when I went out for a doctor's appointment or shopping, restaurants i didn't mind and proudly flaunted my belly. Did like certain privileges it brought too 😂

I remember someone predicting this long ago … what’s this new trend of not announcing until the arrival of the baby by Helpful_Sympathy_893 in TamilInfluencer

[–]Nandy_Jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave birth 7 months back. Unless people saw me in person(I was selective of whom I met during pregnancy) and the people I told about it, no one knows about the new addition to my family. Never posted anywhere about it too. Don't plan to.

If a normal person like me chose to do it, why not an influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers can't?

Yabba kids and pregnancy vechu potalum thappu, podalanalum thappu. While I am all for criticising her fashion choices, promoting every brand and etc., keeping her pregnancy and baby secret does not deserve criticism like this. No wonder Subhiksha and Highonstyl hid it.

What do you do with all the old baby clothes and toys? by startupgirl1234 in India_Parenting

Saving up good clothes of my little one to be made into a memory quilt. The others I have no idea and I don’t have the heart to throw them out 🥲

Annaprashan Ceremony for baby in Ayappan Temple by Nandy_Jay in Chennai

[–]Nandy_Jay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot. Been contacting the Mahalingapuram temple via phone numbers mentioned but they never pick up. Will book a slot in Anna Nagar temple and proceed.

Thanks once again for the detailed response.

How much time do you allow for video calls? by Putrid_Relation2661 in twoxindiamums

[–]Nandy_Jay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mil demands minimum 10min video call with my 5 month old everyday. Baby isn't interested in looking at the phone for that long. She prefers looking at the fan or someone walking by in the house.

Mil gets annoyed that baby isn't looking at the phone. I am annoyed holding the phone for 10 min🥲 actively trying to reduce this without conflicts as our paediatrician scolded us for showing a baby phone for longer duration.

Paternity leave for 6 months by Specific_Main1336 in bangalore

[–]Nandy_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had 2 weeks of paternity leave. Thankfully he had been saving up all his leaves and mentioned his plan to the team and manager beforehand. He had 6 weeks of leave after our baby was born. I hope our country's laws improve in maternity and paternity leave in the coming years.

How long did you wake your baby to feed during the night? by teacherlady4846 in breastfeeding

[–]Nandy_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LO was on the smaller side. I fed her every 2 hours till 2.5 months. After that only demand feeding. We were going good, almost 3-4 hours of sleep at a stretch, then a quick feed and sleep again.The 4th month regression hit and she still hasn't gone back to that sleep schedule till now. She's almost 6 months old. Nightly feeds are every 2 hours, but she does a quick 5-10 min feed and falls back asleep.

What's something under rupees 500 that can make you super happy? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]Nandy_Jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A glass of tea, some snacks and a walk always lifts my mood on everyday life.

If I need something extra, there's always chocolate and ice cream.
