How to Prepare a Handy Mommy Bag

New mothers, meet your helpful new best friend. This one is willing to carry all the solutions to your problems with you- the handy mommy bag. You will seriously end up wanting it with you at all times. Even if you go out with your baby, we’re guessing you’ll return back to get this bag.

It’s your diaper bag, of course. You can consider it as a security blanket for parents, or a mommy bag to prepare you for any situation life throws at you. A well- packed bag filled for situations like impromptu freak outs, to sudden pangs to soiled diapers and a cranky baby. So, without further ado,

here’s the practical checklist to fill your tote bag with necessary items.

1. Diapers

Pack 1 diaper for every 2 hours you’re out, and a few to spare, just in case.

2. Wipes

Keep in a clean, re- sealable pouch so you can keep them moist at all times. These wipes serve as the multi- tasker of the group and are versatile. They can be used to wipe the baby’s bum, the table in case something spilled or to wipe your hands or anything else that needs it.

3. Baby cream

Baby cream is necessary to prevent the baby from getting diaper rashes. Save the space with travel sized creams and ointments.

4. Re- sealable packs

This is ideal to store dirty diapers and baby dress, in case you don’t have a proper disposal system near you (dispose of them if they contain soiled diapers, bring them home if they contain infant dress). These are also necessary for used pacifiers and nipples.

5. Pacifiers

If you use them, keep them in a separate clean bag along with extra bottle nipples to keep it all sanitary.

6. Washcloths

These are handy to clean their burps, vomit and anything you need. Toss in some extras if you think you’ll need it to wipe small baby dresses.

7. Hand sanitizer

To keep everything sanitized for the baby because you don’t know who has touched what you are touching now.

8. Baby food

Figure out how many feedings you’ll need during the time you’re out- including infant formula and bottles, pumped breast milk or baby food and pack accordingly. You’ll also need to include some water for the infants as well.

9. Change of clothes

Spit- ups happen and you’ll need to have a couple of pairs of dress for babies to ensure the babies stay clean at all times.

10. Cap

Whether it’s the summer or winter season, it’s better to be prepared with an appropriate cap to keep your baby warm or cool at appropriate times.

11. Sunscreen

For babies older than 6 months, sunscreen is a necessity when you’re out in the sun. For babies younger than 6 months, protect them with a hat or blanket.

12. Blanket

This is a necessity, no matter what season it is where you’re living. Impromptu breezes, chilliness in the environment, or cold restaurants and cafes, it is necessary to keep the babies warm. They can also be used to shield the babies from the sun.

13. Toys

Anything to keep the babies entertained for some time- such as teethers, board books, rattle, moving toys etc. and store them in the bag.

14. Light snacks

The light snacks that won’t ruin appetites, is necessary for the older kids because they are growing kids that need food almost every 5 minutes.

15. Band- aids

Because when there are kids around, they’re bound to get hurt at some point. The band aids help keep it in check. Do one better and buy it in cute patterns and prints to keep the kids from crying.

Props You’d Need for a Newborn Baby Photo Shoot

While we all love adorable baby photos available by the ton on the internet, finding such props that wouldn’t hurt our kids is a hassle we all deal with. We keep the memories stored in such pictures, so that we can look back some day and say, look how tiny they were in our hands.

How cute! But, did you know that most of the images you see on Pinterest or Instagram are actually Photoshop compositions? Surprised? It’s unsafe for the baby to be hung in a hammock or putting them together with sharp props if they decide to roll over.

Thankfully, we’ve made a list of props that both endearing and secure for the babies when you decide to do a photo shoot.

Here they are, to ensure you have nostalgic and adorable memorabilia to look back on.

1. Baby burrito wraps

Babies like to be warm, and most like to be swaddled. Using wraps keeps the baby warm and comfy enough to keep them sleeping through the shoot. Just remember to keep the wrap fitted snugly around the baby, not tightly to help them keep the pose. Besides keeping them warm, wraps also serve as versatile props to add a splash of color to the picture.

Wraps can also swaddle the baby in various ways- from the traditional wrap to an open egg shell. Do remember that wraps are really inexpensive and care should be taken to ensure you pick the softest of fabrics to keep them cozy. Also, wash them before using them in the photo shoot with the baby.

2. Head bands and hats

These cute props are easy and comfortable to wear for the baby and change them in and out of props. They are great for adding variety to the same poses and are good if the hat/ headband along with the baby kids dress fit the babies’ measurements.

If the dress for babies is a little loose, use a clip or rubber band to secure them in place and move the knot backwards so it doesn’t come in the picture. Do check out the headband’s adornments, you want a flower headband only if they are proportionate to the baby’s head. You don’t want one that is larger than or as large as their head because it will cover their faces.

3. Cozy baskets

Baby baskets make for a great prop as they are versatile, safe and can be photographed in many ways. Place the basket on the ground or nice flooring. Tuck a blanket inside to ensure it is comfortable for the baby to lie in it.

Click pictures from the top or side as they don’t require elaborate posing. Ensure that the baskets are big and roomy along with being strong to keep the baby secure and comfortable.

4. Wooden crates

These are similar to baskets and boxes or wooden crates are excellent new born props for having cute pictures in their infant dress. Choose crates that are well built and low in height.

Be careful not to lay the baby directly on the box as there might be splinters on it. Always keep a buffer between such as thick blankets to ensure the baby is secure from potential harm.

Place the baby either on top of or the inside of the box. If you’re feeling creative, you may even put the box/ crate on the side and click pictures from the front.

Before keeping the baby in close contact, ensure there is nothing to harm the baby, like lead paint, and thoroughly clean the crate to prepare it for the baby and the photo shoot.

5. Parents hands

The best things are usually free in life. This applies to photo props as well. Nothing can be safer and more secure than mom or dad’s hands. The hands will also show the scale of difference between the size of the baby, and the hands.

Hold them together with your palms interlaced and facing upwards. Hold the baby from their stomach facing down and legs balanced on both sides.

Things to Remember When You’re Buying Shoes for Kids

Shoes are necessary for infants as soon as they start walking. This is because, when they are even younger to start walking, they usually are being carried everywhere. This is exactly why you need to take special care when you’re selecting your kids’ shoes.

Shoes are necessary as they affect stability and alignment and longer use of unfit shoes will lead to improper gait and balance of the kid for a lifetime. If you’re shopping for baby shoes, here are some things you need to keep in mind to have your little ones running properly without harming their posture and to protect them from dirt, germs and anything sharp.

Shop in the evening because babies’ feet swell in the evening just like adults.
Shop from a store with service personnel there to help and guide you with the shopping.
Have the salesperson measure your kid’s feet for proper fit.
Find shoes with the right fit for your kid, keeping the feet measurements in mind.
One foot is generally larger than the other so ensure you choose sizes based on the measurements of the larger foot.
Shop for shoes with Velcro fasteners because they are easy to put on and take off, even for kids.
Choose shoes with laces if you want shoes that will stay in their place.
Slip- on shoes are good if you don’t like either Velcro or lace up shoes. Just ensure that they are a proper fit.
It is better for kids’ shoes to have some type of back closure- like Velcro, laces, locking tab etc. to ensure they stay in place. Backless and slip- on shoe wear for kids can slip off the kid’s feet easily.
Choose a pair of shoes that your kid prefers. If you choose a pair that your kid doesn’t like, then you have the chance that it might go to waste as your kid won’t be wearing it anytime.
Choose shoes with soft flexible soles as the kids will need to bend and stretch and need to be soft enough to help them balance and play freely.
Find shoes with non- skid bottoms. These are usually ones that are plain on the bottom with no ridges on the outside to keep them from slipping. Such shoes won’t hold properly on smooth marble flooring and your kid might end up slipping on the ground.
Choose a light breathable material so the baby’s feet won’t sweat and end up stinking. Look for shoes made of canvas or soft leather. Or you can choose sandals with breathable cuts so their feet won’t be hot and sweaty.
Don’t choose fabrics like stiff leather or synthetic materials as they end up restricting movement of the ankles. When buying shoes, rotate the kids’ ankles to check if they can move comfortably.
Choose shoes with around 1- 2 cm gap between the front and back of the foot from the shoe material. And ensure that the top part of the shoes doesn’t fit tightly on their feet because it will not only be uncomfortable, but also cause blisters or corns on their feet with prolonged use.
Look for the inside arch of the shoe. If the shoe is of good quality, it will definitely have an inside arch fitted specifically to the child’s feet. If it does not have it, think about buying a different pair.
Make the baby walk in the store while wearing the shoes. Look for any signs of discomfort like limping, tripping or change of gait.
Check the shoe fit frequently after you’ve bought it as kids grow very fast and such growth spurts can cause discomfort if the fitting of their children dress isn’t right.
Don’t buy shoes that your kid will grow into. Ensure that they aren’t too loose because they might slip off easily and cause permanent gait problems. If they are too small, the kids cloth shoes will be nothing but a cause for pain, discomfort, blisters, redness and even swelling of your kid’s feet.

How to Prepare Your Kids for This Holi

Festivals, like Holi, can easily go wrong if not celebrated in a proper way. In fact, Holi can be ruined if children aren’t taught to play Holi properly.It can save the hassle and trouble of solving problems for both you and your kids- from preventing them from falling sick to getting hurt.

While the Festival of Colors can be celebrated whole heartedly by spraying colors through pichkaris or throwing colored water filled- balloons at each other, there are little things that we can do to ensure both the kids and grownups safety in the meanwhile as well.

Since it’s normal to be worried for your kid’s safety during Holi, we understood that it is important to highlight the points you should be taking care of so everyone can celebrate the festival in good cheer.

1) Teach the kids on how to use pichkari safely.

Although the kids love to play with pichkaris and hand water pumps, they can prove to be really dangerous if not used properly.

Hence, teaching them how to use it is important so they don’t hurt themselves and those around them, in any way.

Let them understand that it is harmful if they aim the pichkari at someone’s face because others can lose their sense of sight, hearing or smell.

Also tell them not to use the pichkaris as weapons to hit people as someone may get wounded in the fight.

2) Educate them about consent.

People usually shout ‘Bura na maano, Holi hai!’ as they spray colors on everyone known and unknown.

Teach your kids that no matter how much they love playing Holi, they cannot forcefully put colors on someone else or tease or bully others if someone isn’t interested in playing with colors.

Teach them to always ask first if they can spray or put colors on anyone as Holi is a festival to be celebrated pleasantly, not improperly.

3) Use eco- friendly/ herbal colors.

Everyone usually doesn’t pay much attention to the kind of colors they use, however you should be doing this, not just for your kids but yourselves as well.

Eco friendly or herbal colors are safe to use on everyone and don’t contain harmful chemicals.

They are safe for everyone’s skin and don’t cause rashes, allergies, and also come off easily.

You can either buy home- made colors or make your own at home, using rice flour mixed with edible colors and sandalwood and turmeric powder.

4) Protect their hair and skin.

Ensure that the kids apply oil on all of their hair and body before playing with colors; you can use mustard or coconut oil or a really thick moisturizing cream.

This doesn’t let the colors stick to the skin and scalp, which can cause damage to the kids’ sensitive skin.

Tie their hair in a ponytail or bun if their hair is long so their scalp is protected from harsh colors sticking to it. Or let them wear a cap or scarf as an alternative.

5) Dress them appropriately.

Whether you have a little girl or boy, it is imperative that you dress them in full sleeved fashionable dress for kids to prevent the colors coming in direct contact with the skin.

Since the kids’ skin can be sensitive, it is better if they’re fully covered with their baby dress while playing with colors. So if you’re shopping for kids dresses online, keep this in mind.

6) Stay away from water filled balloons.

While they are fun to play with, they are harmful for both the ones playing with them and those who’re being thrown at.

Water balloons firstly, when filled with color water, can come in contact with kids’ mouth. And secondly, it can cause blindness or loss of hearing along with serious effects from the force of which the balloon is being splashed at the person.

So do not use water balloons or color water filled balloons, in short.

7) Avoid colors getting close to the five senses.

Tell the kids that colors should not be getting anywhere near their 4 senses- eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Trendy Summer Dresses for Girls

Like us, our girls love to wear comfortable clothes while being stylish at the same time. In these hot months, it is difficult to wear heavy, bulky or tight fitting clothes while being out and about in the sun, being sweaty and clammy.

Hence, we want to choose baby girls dresses online that not only are trendy enough to keep her in the spotlight but also help her beat the summer heat and enjoy her regular daily activities as usual.

To make your work easier, here are a few ideas on summer dresses for baby girls that we compiled for you to gain inspiration from.

Pastels are in trend for this season of Spring Summer 2021 according to Pantone with colors like subtle marigold, sky blue, rust, yellow and cerulean blue ruling the show along with mint, lavender fuchsia and coral.

It would guarantee to ensure what would be probably the best choice for summers for your little girl that will make her feel fashionable while won’t hinder any of her activities.

2) Layer outfits with shirt- jackets.

Keep it cool with a shirt jacket.

Whatever modern wear or casual wear your girl is dressing in- be it a dress, a pair of denim jeans and t- shirt to a skirt top set or jumpsuit, layer it up with a light shirt in a complementary or contrast color to go with the outfit and make her stand out from the crowd at her ease and comfort.

3) Wear shirts differently.

Did you realize you can style your daughter’s shirts in various ways? You can even match your outfit with hers in style.

Simply leave some of the bottom buttons open and tie a knot with the 2 edges of the shirt or try having a one shoulder shirt by mismatching the shirt buttons with their openings to make it fall of one shoulder.

Pair it with any type of bottoms- including skirts, pants, denim jeans and even palazzos.

4) Select oversized.

When in doubt, opt for oversized clothing pieces that can easily be matched with plenty of accessories.

Go for an oversized top or dress, and pair it with one close fitting clothes or accessorize with a cute belt and a hat. The right way is to keep our girls cut and comfortable at the same time.

So, opt for cute graphic prints or quirky ones to keep her comfy while you’re at it.

5) T- Shirt dresses are good to go.

T- Shirt dresses are renowned for their comfortable fitting among girls, so be sure to keep one or two in your little girl’s wardrobe for the hot months.

The effortless way to jazz it up is to dress your girl in the T- shirt dress along with comfortable sneakers, a baseball cap and a statement accessory piece like a pair of earrings, necklace, watch or bracelet.

6) Maxi dresses are fine, too.

If short dresses bore your little girl sometimes, switch over to western dress for baby girl or go for ethnic wear maxi dresses for girls.

Choose cap sleeves or short sleeves on the dresses and you can layer it up with a simple thin cotton shrug or jacket to make her look elegant and classy.

Pair it with simple sandals, light earrings and/ or a simple hair band.

7) Have fun with prints.

Prints are a one shot way to play mix- and- match with other articles of clothing. Like, you have a blue polka dotted shirt.

Pair it up with a pair of denim shorts, tie the shirt in a knot on her waist, whether in the centre or on the side and roll up the shirt’s sleeves to her elbow.

Add a pair of sunglasses in the mix and you’re go to go.

8) Crop tops are a better choice.

Keep it easy and chic by pairing crop tops with skirts, palazzos, dhoti, sharara or pants to achieve an ethnic or modern look.

These are easily paired with anything on the bottom and ensure your princess won’t be complaining of suffering from heat anytime.
