What is the logic behind folding up prams on a bus?

I love going out with my 3 kids. On most weekends, we bring our good old pram along. The pram serves us very well.

It is for the baby to sit on.

It is for the baby to sleep in.

It relieves us from the heavy diaper bag, water bottles, music lessons bags, shopping bags, etc.

It is for the older kids to sit on when there are no available seats on the train.

But the very thing about this pram is: Continue reading “What is the logic behind folding up prams on a bus?”

Why I breastfed for 9 months…

How many mums-to-be have decided on giving up breastfeeding even before their babies were born? From my circle of mum friends, all of them would say they will try it out. I think most mums will want to provide the best for their babies and will try their best even if it is for 1, 2 days. I have never, for one split second, doubt I would not carry out the nature’s call for a mum to nurse her baby. My mum had done it, 3 times in her life and she had never mentioned that she had problems. It just seemed so natural to her. So, naturally I should do it too. On the day my first little darling was born, I know she’s a born “sucker”, oh no, I mean “suckler”, although she needed some guidance.  For me?
