What to wear postpartum

  The weeks after birth feel like a strange mix of exhaustion, softness, and rediscovering your own body. One day you’re still in maternity leggings; the next you’re trying to figure out which dresses even feel right anymore. Your clothes need to serve you, not demand anything from you. So, choosing the right postpartum wear is important. This phase isn’t about feeling supported, comfortable, and a little bit yourself again. Below is a practical, experience-based guide on what works for new moms when it comes to dressing during those early weeks. 1. Choose Fabrics Your Skin Will Love Your body is healing, your chest feels different, your belly may still feel tender, and your skin might be more sensitive than usual. Soft cottons, bamboo blends, and breathable knits are your best friends. They don’t cling, don’t irritate stitches, and they move with you instead of sticking in place. This is especially useful when you’re feeding around the clock or moving between the bed, sofa, and co...

Breastfeeding vs Pumping: Which Can Be Opted?

  Feeding a baby looks so simple until you have a baby. Then suddenly you’re juggling latch positions, timing feeds, figuring out milk supply, and wondering if you should pick up a breast pump or just stick to direct nursing. There’s no “perfect choice”. There’s only what works for you and your little one. If you’re trying to decide between breastfeeding and pumping, here’s a clear, real-world breakdown to help you breathe a little easier. Breastfeeding: Simple, Intimate & Always Available Breastfeeding is the most straightforward option because it needs no equipment, no prep, and no cleaning at 2 a.m. It also has its own rhythm once you and your baby settle in.

Here is why: Latch issues, soreness, oversupply, undersupply, and cluster feeding can make days tough Some m...

The 5 Most Important Baby Nursery Essentials in UAE

Setting up a baby nursery sounds cute until you sit down to make the list. Suddenly, every store claims everything is essential, and every parent gives different advice. The market adds its own confusion with hot weather, compact apartments, villas with big rooms, and a huge variety of baby products that look similar but work very differently. This guide is made for first-time parents, overwhelmed parents, gift-givers, and anyone who just wants clarity instead of a giant shopping list. These are the five things that matter most, no extra noise. 1. A Crib That Matches the Climate and Your Space A crib is the centre of the nursery, but there’s one thing many parents don’t realise: materials behave differently in heat. Wooden cribs expand slightly, metal heats fast near windows, and cheaper paints can chip in humidity. What to look for: ● A crib with non-toxic paint (high temperature can release fumes faster). ● Adjustable height, useful for apartments where the crib may sit near the AC ...

High Chair vs Booster Seat: What Should You Choose for Your Toddler?

If you have a toddler who insists on climbing everything, throwing everything, or suddenly wanting to eat just like you, welcome. You’re exactly in the phase where the high chair vs booster debate begins. One day, they’re sitting quietly in a baby seat; the next, they’re trying to stand on the dining table because they want a big-kid chair. As a parent, especially if your child is between 9 months and 3 years, you’re constantly trying to figure out which baby products will work. You’ll need products which make mealtimes easier, safer, and a little less chaotic. Both options work for different kinds of toddlers, homes, and routines. So here’s a breakdown in a way that helps you decide: 1. What a High Chair Gives You A high chair is a tall feeding chair made only for babies and toddlers. It has its own legs, tray, and safety straps. Think of it like this: Your toddler sits in their own separate seat at a comfortable height so you can feed them easily. They don’t sit at the dining table;...

5 Stroller Mistakes New Parents Make and How to Avoid Them!

  Buying a baby stroller feels simple until you start using it every day. That’s how most parents realise they missed important details. Details that affect safety, comfort, and how smoothly their day goes. Strollers are one of the most used baby products, but they’re also one of the most misunderstood. The goal isn’t just to buy a stroller, it’s to choose one that actually fits your lifestyle, your baby, and your daily routine. Here are five common mistakes new parents make, and how you can avoid them. 1. Choosing a Stroller Without Matching Your Daily Routine Many parents pick a stroller based on looks or brand reputation, without thinking about how they’ll use it. Here’s what most people forget: If you walk a lot, you need good suspension and strong wheels. Otherwise the ride becomes shaky, and babies get uncomfortable fast. If you use a car regularly, a heavy stroller will drain your energy every single day. If your home has stairs or a small lift, bulkier strollers quickly bec...
