New Mom’s Guide for Balancing Baby Nutrition with Busy Lives

Anuradha, a 31-year-old mother, constantly juggles between her work and managing the daily chores at home. Her life appears to have grown increasingly hectic, busier, and more chaotic than usual, particularly with her 7-month-old son keeping her up all night. Nevertheless, she endeavours to strike the right balance to fulfil her responsibilities at work while also devoting time to nurturing her baby.

Once, when she had to stay back after hours at work, she missed feeding the evening meal to her baby. She felt guilty that her husband had to step in for her. On several other occasions, Anuradha was required to work late, intensifying her guilt. Upon returning home, she observed that her husband could not cook and had to rely on ready-made products to feed their baby. As she began scrutinising the ingredients, a surge of guilt washed over her – the guilt of not being able to do enough for her child, to not being able to prepare homemade food for her baby.

It is something many mothers go through post-pregnancy. It's understandable to feel guilty about not being able to cook homemade food for your baby, but it's important to remember that being a new mother comes with its own set of challenges, and you're doing the best you can.

And it's okay to select an alternative that works the best for your baby. Of course, at the infant stage, breast milk is undoubtedly the optimal choice for a baby’s nutrition. But as your baby surpasses six months of age, you can start with solid food.Along with homemade meals for babies, you can use products from the market.

But, unfortunately, one of the growing concerns shared by many mothers is– there are no existing products in the market that are safe and nutritious. Results? You end up compromising on one of the most important aspects of your baby which is– nutrition.
