👶 3 weeks🫂 How I'm doing

Skipped the full 40 din 'seclusion' and the aunties have opinions, but I needed to leave the house

Three weeks postpartum. My mother wanted the full traditional 40 din at home, no stepping out, no visitors except close family, mostly rest and the daily oil malish. The care…

👶 5 months😴 Sleep

We sleep trained at 5 months and my MIL still isn't speaking to me about it

Okay saying this here because I can't say it in the family WhatsApp group without getting a lecture. We did a gentle version of sleep training at 5 months — not full cry it out,…

👶 2 months🍼 Feeding

Stopped apologising for the formula top-ups, the ghutti-wale log can relax

Two months in and I've said "I'm still trying to increase my supply" to more relatives than I've said hello to. Truth is my supply never fully caught up after a rough delivery and…

👶 1 months🩺 Health

Our clinic quoted ₹4,500 for the combo shot when the govt centre gives the same protection free — nobody preps you for this maths

Not anti-vaccine, please read before you come for me — we have not skipped a single one and won't. This is about how confusing and expensive the private route can get if nobody…

Cloth diapers during Kerala monsoon nearly broke me, unpopular opinion incoming

Started with cloth diapers full time because of the environment guilt, honestly. Three months into monsoon season here I gave up and I don't feel bad about it anymore. Nothing…

👶 6 months🥣 Weaning

Baby led weaning reels made me feel like feeding dal-chawal by spoon is "behind", it's really not

Went all in on baby led weaning at 6 months because every second reel made purees look outdated. Reality: my daughter mostly threw everything on the floor, ate maybe a spoon's…

👶 13 months🎉 Milestones

If one more relative asks "still not walking?" at a function I might actually lose it

13 months, not walking independently yet, cruising along furniture like a champ though. Went to a wedding last weekend and got asked about it by no fewer than five separate…

👶 10 months🧸 Gear

Family thinks I'm being extra for insisting on a car seat for a 10 minute drive, still not budging

"It's just down the road", "hold her tight, she'll be fine", "she's crying, take her out and put her on your lap" — heard all three in the same car ride to a relative's place 10…

Chose daycare over sending the baby to my parents' place and the guilt trip has been next level

Maternity leave ended, and the "obvious" solution in my family was sending the baby to my parents in Indore while we both kept working in Mumbai. I couldn't do it, didn't want to…

Cocomelon got us through a 3 hour flight and I'm not sorry, fight me

We'd been so strict about screen time before this, basically zero, proud of it even. Then came a 3 hour flight with a 20 month old who does not sit still, and Cocomelon on my…
