Diaper Genie
There is going to be lots and lots of potty and pee. If some mom
has already warned you about it, add another 2 diapers to that
load and remember it!
In India we don’t have a very heavy diaper trend. We stick to cloth
nappies and prefer washing them and using them. Of course, we
mostly have help during early days with baby. And of course the
temperatures here are just so high that a summer baby will have
more sweat than pee in her diaper.
However for mommies like me in India and around the world
who are the sole care-giver of your baby a diaper-genie can just make life sooooooo much more
easy. It more than just disposal. Apart from saving you the trouble of packing each diaper and
running to the garbage bin around 20 times a day, it also individually scents and seals the diapers
making them germ and odor free.
So in case you don’t get this product in your baby shower, do make sure it is standing pretty in
your nursery before your pooping machine pops out!!!

Pure aloe gel
Once you have diapers you also have
diaper rashes. A great advice that saved
me a whole lot of trouble with dealing
with rashes was pure aloe gel. Rub aloe
gel EVERYDAY in the pubic area of your
newborn during EACH diaper change to
reduce your chances of a rash to
minimal. Believe me, diaper rash babies
are no fun!

Almond/olive/sesame seed oil
Nothing is more important than getting regular
massages as new mom and baby. In case you
can’t get hold of a nanny or help to massage you
or your baby, give yourself a 10 min hand leg and
back massage. And of course, massage your baby
everyday too. If you cant trust the baby brands
with massage oil, you can use pure almond oil or
the most popular item in your life post baby in
India- Desi Ghee (clarified butter).

Post-partum belt
Whatever little of my lower back has been saved post
baby is due to wearing a post-partum belt regularly. It
also prevents your tummy from sagging too much esp
after a cesarean. But the support it provides to your
lower back is unimaginable. If you have a cesarean
initially the doc advises not to tuck your tummy with a
belt. However once you have made your 6 week post-
partum visit to your gynae and there is no issue with
your stitches you can wrap your lower back and
stomach tightly with a cotton stole before graduating
to the medical belt.

Headscarf
This is a old wives Indian tradition.
Yet it has shown effects in
preventing migraines, hair loss etc
in later age for the mom. Since
there is no harm there is nothing
stopping you from trying it out. If
nothing else it adds to cool
quotient. Imagine feeding your
baby while wearing a pirate skull
headscarf!! How cool is that!!!

Cotton balls
I didn’t realize the importance
of cotton balls until I started
bathing my newborn.
Sterilized cotton balls for
washing the eyes are a must
have. Majority of eye
infections in newborn is
usually due to not washing
eyes or washing with
unsterilized cotton.

Electric Kettle
An electric kettle and two sets of washed hand towels always were
found next to my bed. This small tip that a nurse gave me at the
hospital has helped me and many new moms whom I passed on
this tip. Before feeding, boil some water in an electric kettle. Dip a
hand towel in them. Take out the excess water and open up the
hand towel. Put it on your naked breasts for 1-2 minutes. Repeat
this 2-3 times. What this does is open up any knots that may be
developing in the milk ducts. Talk to any new mom and painful
knots in the breasts is the most common problem. Also if there are
knots in your breasts, it takes more effort by the newbie to suck out
milk. Hence breastfeeding and latching issues arise. If not treated
knots in the breasts can become septic and require to be removed
surgically. It is a bit of an effort to even give your breasts the hot
towel EACH time you feed the baby, but the benefits are far-
reaching both for you and the baby.

Earphones
It’s not easy waking up every 3-
4 hours throughout the night
to feed the baby. Make sure
you have some sort of
entertainment planned. Either
a small TV or earphones to
listen to music while you feed
the baby. I can’t thank Comedy
Central India enough. It made
me almost look forward to
night time feeds!

These are some of the easy hacks that helped me when I
was a clueless struggling new mommy. I hope you find
