Tips to Take Care of Kid's Eyes

The current Pandemic has made it really impossible to keep the kids away from the screen. With schools and even pre-schools going digital, it becomes necessary for the parents to take an extra care of the young eyes. Five steps that parents can follow to take care of kids eyes are:

1. Proper Device: We often overlook that the use of improper device can be really harmful to our kids' eyes and thus give smart phones or tablets to the kids to watch videos, play games or even take online classes. Researches have proved that the usage of proper device can greatly reduce the harmful affect of screen time on the young eyes.

2. Proper Surrounding Light: Ensure that the room is properly lit but ensure that there is no reflection on the screen.

3. Proper Viewing angle and distance: Ideally the screen should be at around twice the screen’s diagonal measurement. Further, the screen should neither be kept too high not too low, ideally screen should be at about 15-30 degrees below the horizontal line.

4. Regular Breaks: The kids should not be exposed to the screen for more than 30 minutes at a stretch. Ideally, a short break of 2-3 minutes should be taken after every 20-25 minutes of screen time.

5. Nurture the eyes: To nurture the young bright eyes give them nutritious meal (rich in betacarotene and Vitamin A &E). Also get exposure to sunlight. Washing eyes with clean room temperature water at least twice a day is also beneficial for eyes.

Following the above steps can actually reduce the harmful affects of the screen by more than 50%.

If you are expecting a baby anytime soon pack your bags as it will be any time when you will have to make the hospital run.

5 Must haves for Expecting and New mums

In our last post, we discussed 5 must haves for new born babies. This post is in continuation to that one, listing out the things a mother must have for herself while making a run to hospital. 5 Must Haves for Expecting & New Mums when making a run to Hospital 1. Nursing Gowns/dress for New Mum (3-4) Again a lot of hospitals do provide the clothings as part of the package but it gives a mother real comfort in her own clothes that she is used to wear at home. Hospitals are uncomfortable for most of people and you may just want to give a bit of homely touch to the mother after what she has been through. You may buy it before hand and let the mother were it 2-3 times to feel comfortable in them afterwards. Emphasising on the numbers as she may need to change them quite fr...

Five must have things for your newborn within the first month

1. Mittens Mittens are the last things on the shopping list for a new born, however they should be among the first thing that you should buy. Baby's skin is soft and delicate and while their tiny eyes are still adjusting to the light they tend to use their hands a lot to touch face. A t times, t hey also tend to scratch themselves. Baby's nails are so sharp and thin that they often end up hurting their delicate skin and can do a lot of damage to their eyes, ears and other places. Mittens cover the hands and thus prevent the nails from getting in contact to their skin. We brought 4-5 pairs of Mee Mee Mittens. 2. Diapers As a first time parent, I was really confused while buying diapers for the new born. Though, we were apprehensive about using diapers for our baby during first few weeks but doctor suggested us to use it at night. Later, use any d...
