Humpty dumpty had a great fall

I have been thinking since quite some time to write about parenting. Somehow was too busy with little one. Being new mom is a challenge to lot of things.

There were zillion people who have advised me, to ensure baby will not fall. Even after all the efforts...thud!!!!fell the little one...

My aunt had advised me, don't worry when kids fall- its a common phenomenon, she re-iterated 'Daivam kaakum'( 'God will take care of them, when they are doing it naturally...my son fell many times from the cot.' )The cry of baby is more because of our reaction to it, not from the fall. If we are cool and accept it as it is, they can handle better. Even scientifically it is true, the pediatrician himself says, nothing to worry if baby falls.

Do know of some babies, who took lot of time for every development because of the same fear, not of itself because of the fear of parents. This applies especially when the baby is sick too, they will be fine very fast. Don't bother about it too much. If mother is happy, baby is happy too.
