Quiz: How Much Do You Know about Prerequisite For Baby?

The preparation for bringing a new member into our family begins a month before the actual arrival of a child. Yet, the essence of bringing this bundle of joy requires a bit of careful planning. Of course, this does not require a brainstorming session but a common understanding and a basic instinct. There is lots of misleading marketing stuff and provocative TV commercials which curtain our minds. Mostly, exhilarating emotion leads to false presumption and encourages purchasing either unnecessary or overrated materials for a baby. We should be more rational and judicial before purchasing these twinkling gifts.

Gifts apart, It is very important to have an uncluttered, hygienic, and organized house. A well-maintained house is a sign of serenity that acts as a springboard to future happiness. And it’s quite easier for us to garner this happiness using modern tools and technologies.

One such technology is a mattress protector. This modern-day discovery of protecting a mattress otherwise would have a costly affair. It saves the mattress from the baby’s random act of wetting the surrounding accidentally during busy hours. Specially woven fabric is washable, sustainable, and quite comfortable beneath the bedsheet. This helps in protecting the bed from forming fungal infections and foul smells.

Protecting the baby from a mosquito bite is something that parents generally forget to plan. Conventional mosquito net requires greater manipulation while chemically composed mosquito repellent is not preferable. Interestingly, someone has amalgamated a conventional mosquito net with a collapsible spring to solve this decade-old problem. This collapsible mosquito net has a small window for smooth movement which makes it ideally suitable for the baby’s house. Once it is tucked inside, it also protects the baby from free fall. It’s a boon for single mothers. 

If we can make a dedicated baby's corner in our house well in advance then it's quite easy to do lean management. It's not necessarily a dedicated cupboard, but a small place on top of the refrigerator or a small dedicated place in an existing drawer can help a lot. Sooner or later lots of stuff is going to accumulate including clothes, diapers, medicines, and toys, and managing these inventories becomes a challenging task. If placed in order, it's quite easy to remember. Things can be arranged for this little one if a proper tool is available. 

With every consultancy, the knowledge of the mother enhances, and in no time she becomes a temporary doctor for a baby. However, after some time it leads to confusion in identifying the correct medicine. To overcome this, she either should refer a prescription or take the help of the internet. Alas! Sometimes nothing works. It is therefore all medicines should be labeled properly with a sticky note. These labels can be self-explanatory as “for dry cough”, “for wet cough”, “for stomach pain” and so on. So labels are a must.

Truly speaking for the first few months baby requires only love and affection. However, these petty but useful things partially provide a niche in upbringing a child.

Happy parenting!
