Motherhood is honestly a bumpy ride, especially the first few months. It has its joys and it has its lows. It comes with mood swings and a will to outgo.  That rhymed there , right!

Lots of songs and lullabies and mothers who can rhyme, but there is another thing that is very common among lactating mothers which is tremendous confusion about whether they are producing enough milk, the breastfeeding process is painful, how much should i mix feed etc.

To answer some of these questions we have with us as a part of 'Know your birthing process' for this month, Saumya Dwivedi , who is a Certified Lactation Counsellor and a Babywearing Educator. She has also started a wonderful project to bring awareness around Breastfeeding called 'Pushya' which means nourishing. You can check it out here, Pushya.

In this episode we cover:

1) The importance of the emotional state of a woman for smoothly breastfeeding
2) Preparation is the key to Lactation Concerns as well.
3) Tips on proper latch, Reduce engorgement, ensure a well fed baby etc
4) Baby birth trauma, child rights and more!

PS: You would hear the cry of my daughter in the background a couple of times. the areas that were crucial and could not be edited. I am a mother and we do it at odd times, ensure she sleeps etc but we have our days right and i would not redo it because the women i work with are mothers too who 'find' time to do this with me. I would value everyone's time and wear my life and situations with pride. Wanted to write a caution, so if this generally irritates you , you have a heads up from me. :)

As  a part of 'Know your birthing process ' theme for the month of March-April, we are discussing the common birthing situations faced by women in this episode with Megha Khanduja from Mothering Mothers. While in labor and delivering, especially when it is for the first time,  a woman may have tons of questions based on what she is experiencing, it is valid for her to expect answers for all of them. But more often that not, we do not find answers to all them, which is what we are trying to figure out here, answers to questions while in labour or about labour and birth.

Highlights
1) Contractions
2) Significance of cord around a baby's neck
3) Baby heartbeat fluctuations while in labor
4) Birth Rights
5) Labor management etc.

You will learn the motivating story of Megha where knowledge helped her empower herself and take charge of her birth experience.

We have brought to you an episode which encourages you to enhance your knowledge about birthing processes.

Expecting parents often  dwindle in the delivery rooms when it comes to making decisions in different circumstances, at that point in time the knowledge about birthing comes handy.

In this episode, Niati a hypnobirthing expert with over a decade of experience talks about the following

• Why pregnancy and giving birth to a child is traditionally a sacred process?
• What is hypnobirthing?
• How the practice of hypnobirthing equips parents to make informed decisions.
• Why we need to rethink the entire birthing methods undertaken by hospitals and make efforts towards making it more pleasurable than daunting because it can be that way.

Let us work towards inculcating knowledge and empowering ourselves in all walks of life.

I am into a new phase with my daughter. She is a toddler and the change in her is visible more than ever.

There are frequent power struggles, she is able to express herself clearly and there are conflicts. She can be stubborn at times that she will stick with what she wants. She knows that her words are being received in the way she wants.

And so it makes it even more important to know what development stage they are. It helps to know what to expect from them.
It also helps to know what methods should be applied to help them calm down. How to mould your methods to fit this new age.

We will discuss my experience, we are covering:

• Development stage of the child: Physical and emotional 
• The four methods of managing children
  1. Overregulation
  2. Under regulation
  3. Power Struggles
  4. Trust
• Parenting tip of the episode

 Listen to it and see if it connects. It may empower both you and your children.

This episode is a short memoir of my childhood with my grandfather. It is in the Hindi language. It is a small attempt to bring to notice the importance of grandparents in a child's life.

Jay Kesler said, " Young people need something stable to hang on to - 
a culture connection, a sense of their own past, a hope for their own future.

Most of all, they need what grandparents can give them...."

This quote perfectly sums up this mini episode. This is also a tribute to my late grandfather whom I miss every now and then.
