Being a doctor you get to see people who are happy ,sad & depressed & all emotions . But today was a very satisfying day . A middle aged lady ,a teacher by profession was, i would'nt put it as suffering ,as it kills her spirit, having 2 different kinds of cancer .To be specific she had a thyroid cancer about 1 year back had underwent surgery for it & chemotherapy for the same and in 6 months time was detected to have a breast cancer had again underwent surgery & chemo.
In this world where people having no illness pretend to have and are depressed for God knows what .. i must tell you she entered the room all smiles and when asked how she feels ( she had lost all her hair ) she says i'm happy 'cos i have no problem washing my hair as i have none . then her nails had turned black ,she says i'm saving on my nail colours .a very highly spirited lady i must say . I just can't tell you how she has instilled good will in me But i salute her ATTITUDE

hush a by baby
oh so important is sleep to the little ones! if only it did'nt involve a whole lot of parental influence in it . To go by doctors ,it is very important to have them sleep at least 2 times a day as then they have their growth spurts (release of growth hormone to be specific ) .
Only if the parents were spared of the agony to begin with their routine to sleep on their own .Lets get started ,i just learnt a new way & it's been working for me .Touch wood !
first i began with a story time (bedtime story ) and when that caught up ,i used to sleep with my baby ( She's all of three years) & then she needed me all the time . and then i realised its time i weaned her away to do all my other (less important ,ofcourse ) chores.
I began with just sitting on the bed while my baby was lying in the bed & then narrated the stories . later i took up a chair & then as days passed i started moving the chair further away from her bed till i reached the bedroom door . now i'm out & relieved that i did'nt create a nervous wreck of my child while i tried to put her to sleep all alone. does take a lot of perseverance ,but that's the test .
good luck to all the weaning moms !!!
