Babystories – Sharing my humble abode of happiness.

While our babies are busy with their own world of toys , we parents hop into our mobile phones and get busy with it.

How many of us as parents has or are currently following this trend ?

I shamelessly accept this that I am a culprit.

No wonder why my child is amazed when she gets a mobile phone in hand . She reacts with so much of enthusiasm once this device is caught hold by her.

Sometimes she overlooks her colourful exciting toys nearby and run to fetch the mobile phones that’s in our hand .

Ever since I realized this , mobiles are always kept out of reach from her eyes.

Once she was crying out loud while we were watching a movie from IPad and she needed that . She wanted to grab that . We tried to calm her down by placing some entertaining toys infront of her but her eyes were stuck on those moving images on iPad.

Finally we wrapped up our movie time session , closed the iPad and kept underneath the cushion. She cried for sometime but afterwards calmed down and went off to sleep.

I was a little concerned.

Not long before , I met a family who is struggling to upbring their daughter into a normal life as other children.

I met this kid who was just 5 year old. She behaved a little odd . She finds it difficult to interact with people , her own parents .

Why?

Because this little girl was entertained with mobiles , it’s videos and nothing else in the world. She got so engrossed that her behavior pattern got abrupted as she grew.

As other normal 5 year old children, this girl didn’t reply properly to what asked . In return mumbles something by herself .

And this really made me worry as a parent.

My suggestions for avoiding such a worst scenario consequence

Find time to sit besides your baby and play with them . Meanwhile giving lessons on different colors of the toy or animal names.
Say no to mobile phones while you are busy playing with your child.
Interacting with them more often as you interact with your spouse or any elder. Though they won’t understand but would definitely start speaking as soon as they hit the right age.
Never leave your child unattended with a mobile in hand . Some parents find this as an easier option to calm a wailing baby by giving their mobile phones.

Remember , the proper growth and development of your child is every parents responsibility .

Spying your baby ? Really !

Yes you heard that right . I spy my sleeping baby.

There comes a solution when the worst scenario happens.

And the scenario being , my baby fell off from the bed.

No ! Fortunately she was fine . She didn’t get bruises either but what if ? Sounds worst huh.

Hey ! Before you start judging me as a bad parent or tag me to be a “bad mother” , be considerate enough to know my plight on that day.

I had to make her sleep soon and let her sleep on the bed such that I could finish some of my pending kitchen works.

Nope ! I didn’t leave the sleeping baby alone. I made a boundary around her , she was surrounded with big large cushions .

Cushions so heavy that is incapable for a 6-7 month old baby to lift up and drag to the floors .

So no chance and that’s what I thought . Unfortunately!

She came out to be strong . Stronger than her 6-7 month old toddler.

Proud as a Mom ! Am doing well as a mother. Isn’t it ?

But of course not so at that moment when she hit the floor for the first time.

After this incident , I am definitely not going to leave my baby alone . But what about my household duties.

My husband is in a 12 hr shift . He definitely won’t be there half of the day.

There were 2 solutions , I found .

One , make her sleep down the floor , on a bed cushion .

Second , a spy camera.

I somewhere read in Quora about this app.

This is Alfred camera App https://alfred.camera/ .

I downloaded it t from Playstore

Now how this works.

I download the app in 2 of my devices . One can be a spare one as well and other your personal mobile.

I download it in my I pad and switched on the app camera facing my sleeping baby.

On the other side , I had it on my mobile as well.

I switched on this app camera that was connected to the iPad.

And I rested my mobile on the kitchen tiles, observing her every movement as well as doing my kitchen work.

Now I could spy her from the kitchen 😂.

Super Mom , huh!?

Well this definitely is a version of modern parenting techniques.
