Remember these rhymes we all were singing in school.
Chubby cheeks, dimple chin
Smiling lips, teeth within
Curly hair flows in the air
Eyes are cute and lovely too
Teacher's pet, is that you?
Yes, yes, yes
We all adore babies don't we, the moment we see them we feel happy.
Baby is a little darling for the whole family. Life revolves around them, isn't it?
It's the duty of every parent to give the best to their baby for health and happiness. We all play a
vital role in giving secure and healthy life to coming generations.
One such role of every parent is to choose the right Baby Care Products. Let us explore them:
1. Cater to the need of the baby’s specific need. E.g. Diaper. The purpose is to hold the baby’s
urine and stools. Don’t be ashamed to say this and talk about it. So it has to cater to this only
need and be clear about its features.
2. Product Features: A product has the material from which it's made. Colour and size of the
product for different needs.
3. Budget-friendly: Every product is essential but it has to be affordable too. Most of us
budgeting is based on the Middle-Class concept. Is it worth investing in this product we need to
study?
4. Product Availability: Throughout the year, seasons and across states-cities it has to be
available.
5. Environmental friendly: Every product has to be recycled with minimum damage to our
environment. It’s this environment our children and future generation is going to live in and
continue to live in.
6. Quantity vs Quality: Every consumer is interested in the concept of quantity and quality. In
one packet how many items are there? Cost per piece, cost in wholesale or bulk purchase. In
quality, people see long-lasting or durability.
7. Varieties: Let us accept the fact that we live varieties, as it spices up our life. We like choices
or options in life else it's boring. Eg. Pink toy, blue toy, wooden toy, ceramics, clay type etc.
So let us all celebrate our Baby’s Products with Care.
World Food Safety Day
We are all allergic to some food or the other; it's more dangerous if children are diagnosed with
allergies, check out the reasons for these allergies conditions namely;
The so-called modern 'Pesticides' are used in food.
Heard of the concept 'Genetically modified food', they are dangerous to the human body.
No exposure to natural sunlight for Vitamin D
No proper exercise and lifestyle to develop good immunity

CAUSES
When food is consumed, there are antibodies that tell the immune system to react immediately.
Look out, the immune system reacts by releasing histamine and other substances into the
bloodstream. Have u heard of these chemicals called 'Histamine' that cause the symptoms of
food allergies.
DURATION OF ALLERGY
Few Days: The rash usually should subside within a few days.
Second Wave: Notice the duration of food allergy symptoms, the frequency it occurs, is it for a
few hours after the initial reaction
TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS
Skin prick test -Take a sample of diluted foods, place it on the patient's arm, and then pierce the
skin to put food into the system. Observe for reactions, like itching, swelling, or redness, if found
then there is some kind of allergy. Blood test - Now what we do for the Blood test, is blood is
drawn from the patient's body to check for antibodies called 'IgE' found in certain food proteins.
By being aware of the allergy and its causes we can prevent allergy issues. Let us be careful
when it comes to our health.
