Formula feeding doesn't makes you less of a mom!

Being a breastfeeding mom, it has been always been an emotional challenge for me to accept the fact that I'll have to transition my little one completely from breastfeed to solids and than to formula feed!
Breastfeeding has been more an emotional journey and the foremost way to bond with my son!
I never thought i will have to transition so early!
As my little one turned one, i started losing weight. I don't exactly know the reason but it was partially because i didn't had family help at my hand and had to handle everything single handedly: My husband's needs, house needs, my baby's needs and than breastfeeding and i merely got time to take care of my own meals!( well you can say i was being careless on my own health and i had to pay for it later)

It became almost physically impossible for me to fulfil all these needs and than there came a stage when i almost collapsed !
So finally was suggested by everybody that since daily chores and daily needs can't be neglected so i must stop breastfeeding! #Don'tjudge
It broke my heart to even think of it but finally i had to do it! Because if something happens to me i had no one to take care of my boy!
But then came ny family to my rescue and they helped me alot in weaning my son completely off breastfeed!
I can understand the heartbreak a mom feels when she has to formula feed their baby!
Alot of people were there with me to distract my son whenever he cried for me!
But it took him almost 1 week to forget his dream feed!( night feeding sessions)
He would cry in his sleep in hunger and would refuse to even taste formula feed!
I had sleepless nights in this #momguilt!
But slowly and gradually my son forgot about breastfeeding and all thanx ro support of my family!

Well i must say all my fears were baseless!
I always feared my little one would no more be bonded to me but frankly telling he has became more attached and we share a stronger bond now!
Not breastfeeding your baby doesn't makes you lesser of a mom!

So whatever the situations, stay strong moms!
Because you'll never do anything wrong for your babies!

Who would not love their better half to live the privileged life we are living. Without even wasting a single minute on anything i would love to jump on to the privileges i would love to pass on to the man in my life (Because he is the one I love the most and want to gift him all my previliges 😜) 🌟 Get rakhi tied on their wrist by their sister and feel safe in the shadow of their sisters! (Bonus: Get your fav things as gift too) 🌟 Staying at home for working shift of only 24 hours for mere 7 days a week! 🌟Let their study/carier be oriented by the places that are secure to stay alone and not by the quality of universities! 🌟Let them have the privilege to get waxed just to be presentable!( Omg! I can't control my laughter on the thought of their reactions 😂) 🌟Let them have the previlige to leave their parents, go stay in some random home and overnight believe it to be their own family (The family in which everyone makes you believe they are your own and at the sa

Love in the times of social media

Being brought up in the generation of gadgets, it is a real task for moms to keep our children grounded to emotions. Specially when they wake up and see their moms hooked on to their mobiles and before they sleep they see their dad hooked on to their laptops! Not even children even sometimes our relationships take a back seat due to these gadgets and knowing all the cons we are still not ready to give up this "Prison". I am not talking of screetime or no screentime here! But being in a generation where everything else is already too hectic and time taking, why we still are not ready to compromise our gadgets to give some quality time to our family! Frankly speaking every now and then i fight with my husbandman over this. His job is 90% on phone calls only and from his rest 10% , sometimes i have to literally beg for his attention.  Days goes by when he doesnt even hears what i am saying, sitting next to him! So, this valentines day, when i got the opportunity

Yes For me, a cup of tea is a solution to my all problems. There was a time, when i wasn't a tea lover. Butas it says opp do attract I got married to the biggest tea lover! He used to have a cup of strong tea just before bed everyday( wierd though). One day he got his tea made and slept. I thought of not wasting it and so had it. I remain awake that whole night. Slowly days passed and i started becoming a die hard tea lover And finally the stage has came when i can't spend a day without tea. Not because i love tea, bu
