Teething is such a time when I can take a time off ! I feel free as no cooking responsibility. She stops eating almost everything . Only milk is the last resort left. Its been happening for 8 months now. As an when all efforts go waste I realize time to go for long hour shoppings, movies, picnics, pending phone calls, ignored shelves in almiras.

Plight of a kidstricken mom ! Why kids are not easy at meals ?

The mealtime mania prolongs…

It takes me hours in feeding her.

I m running after her singing along the rhymes all around the house.

The high chair  is confined only to ice creams (ice - ceems).

Sack full of toys is a waste now.

Bundle of distractions are required fails most of the time.

What a headache it becomes ! why so reluctant ? It will not be a gain to me anyway !

Its been 9 days now . I haven`t done any serious cooking for her….

 “Even bees, little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison flowers”

 We are blessed with better options why not utilize it to best. This was a lesson i was given yetserday so thought of sharing. I bought a big pack of sprite bottles home was screwed such a way as if i have brought a non veg. in a strict jain house ! I felt bad because i like the drink because it is not black ! It does add useless calories to yourself of which not sure  will get burned. Another point arises seeing  me my little princess will learn that too ! Will she not learn when will be exposed to outer world ? Biggies have to keep upperhand whatever !

So my day started with a glass of fresh juice ! Well i made them happy ! I know they are concerned about me but its my age . I cant be careless later anyways …

Coming to the point its simply a part of diet not a wholesome and balanced diet in itself. It can even cause allergic reactions to few individuals. Be careful ! One should know onself well !

For vegetable and fruit juice age is no bar . It is advisable that fruit slightly lukewarm can be given to infants in day time. Forced feeding is never recommended.

For growing children from 5 to 12 years a child requires plenty of repeated serving of essential food nutrients. Juice of orange, grapes, minced banana ,  pomeranate can be given.

Today another humid day. Sweating and wiping has become a routine. I gave bath to my little butterfly and made her wear her cotton shirt and capri . The moment I picked the stuff it pinged to me what an asset nature has given to us ‘cotton’.

I was talking to myself with hands making her ready and mind was busy in thinking on how important it is to us infact me. Where it came from? Today my thoughts were truly devoted to cotton. If it would have been an rational being i would have conveyed my thoughts.  What if there was no cotton leaves me perturbed in this cruel weather of Delhi. Do we really have good alternatives? It feel so comforted when i see her in cottons.  I never had liking for charge producing fabrics.

I answered my doubts by visiting http://www.cotton.org/pubs/cottoncounts/story/index.cfm

its a 7000 yrs old friend of ours. Will support our future generations as well ! If we support its growth !

Some slow yet effective  remedies granny has in her kitty ! Kho kho..mmh..mmh..  clearing her throat! :D:D  These can be carried out for the soothing effect to continue .

Jason suffered with tonsilitis effects of which are painful and horrible . Tonsilitis are quick in happening but slow in going but can be put on hold by being  kind in choosing food items which soothe the the throat and not erupt it.

 A gargle made from fenugreek seens is very effective. To make such a gargle 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seens to be allowed to simmer for 1/2 hr. in a litre of water and then set aside to cool. The entire qty. can be used  a soothing gargle for the day.

For betterment a glass of milk mixed with a pinch of tumeric powder and pepper powder taken for 3 nights will help.

Vegetable juices of carrot, beet, cucumber consumed individually or in combination is helpful.

It actually leads to fasting  to that serious symtoms should subside nothing but orange juice and water shall be taken. As the acute symtoms are over gradually embark on balanced diet grains, vegetables, fruits. Spices and condiments are BIG AVOIDS.

Sour substances like curds, buttermilk, fried foods should also be avoided.

Another is trying for Banafsha flowers treatment.
