Worry - Contributed by Krishnan

Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own Actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become detached spectators in the lives of their children and shrug, 'It's their life,' and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son's head. I asked, 'When do you stop worrying?'The nurse said, 'When they get out of the accident stage.' My dad just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teachersaid, 'Don't worry, they all go through this stage and then you can sit back, relax and enjoy them.' My dad just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come home, the front door to open. A friend said, 'They're trying to find themselves. Don't worry, in a few years, you can stop worrying. They'll beAdults.' My dad just smiled faintly and said nothing.
By the time I was 50, I was sick & tired of being vulnerable. I was still worrying over my children, but there was a new wrinkle. There was nothing I could do about it. I continued to anguish over their lives, be tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in their disappointments.My dad just smiled faintly and said nothing.
My friends said that when my kids were married, I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my dad's warm smile and his occasional, 'You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home. Are You upset about something?'
Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?

….. Then one day, one of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, 'Where were you? I've been calling for 3 days, and no one answered I was worried.'
I smiled a warm smile. The torch has been passed.

Nappy Pads

Until recently, I was not aware of any other brand in nappy pads space except for Johnson & Johnson. Suddenly, there are some big brands like: Huggies, Wiprosoft and soon EasyFit.

I can't put it down only to diversification because I'm sure, there must be a large enough market or margin and hence the new entrants.

Well, the benefit for us - is that the prices are getting competitive.

For eg. J&J sells 20 pcs for MRP 115 which works out to Rs. 5.75/- per piece.

Huggies followed the same pricing but gives a better margin to the retailers, allowing them to pass that on to consumers.

Wiprosoft made it more competitive at Rs. 60/- for 12 pcs. That makes Rs. 5/- per pc.

Soon, if not already, EasyFit will be entering the market with Rs. 275/- for 60 pcs which makes it Rs. 4.60/- per pc. They have added one more feature to the nappy pads. They have added leak guards as well and I think that's a pretty smart thing to do. So it has most of the features of a diaper at half the price of a diaper.

Heat Sensitive Spoons

These heat sensitive spoons from Nuby are excellent, especially if your baby is just starting out on solids be it home-made mixes or Cerelac. The working is fairly simple. Half the spoon turns white immediately indicating that the food is too hot for consumption. Then you need to wash the spoon, wait a couple of seconds for it to regain its color. The edges of the spoon are so soft that your baby will love chewing on the spoon too. It doubles up as a very good teether.

Wet Wipes

The wet wipes market is relatively new in India. There are a lot of unknown brands that are actually doing well in the market. I'm surprised that Pampers, Huggies, Johnson & Johnson havent introduced their wipes in India in a big way being the 'Grand Old Daddies' of baby products. Either they havent yet realised the market potential or they are making too much from their existing business, that they cant keep up.

There are many options - one for every one, meaning if you like scented or non-scented, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Now, Himalaya has introduced an Ayurvedic option. Its very nice and also priced well at Rs. 30 for 24 wipes, though it does have a strong Indian lotus scent.

There are a lot of benefits to using wet wipes, especially if your child has got a cold and you dont want to give your baby a bath but still give him / her a fresh feeling, then use a wet wipe. Dip it warm water during winter time and use it as is during summer time. And ofcourse, we cannot discount its usefulness when we travel.

Bella Wet Wipes are also very wet, non-alchoholic and non-scented, rather mildly scented. They are available in Bangalore, I'm waiting for it to be introducted in Hyderabad. I find MeeMee wipes very strongly scented and find Pigeon wipes over priced. Squeel wipes are pretty good and very cost effective at Rs. 125/- for 80 wipes. Another brand of wipes that I have heard a few mom's mention is FunBaby wipes from Tainwala. Havent checked it out yet but will do so shortly. Do post your feedback on the brand of wipes that you use for your baby. Would love to hear of new brands.

Wingo

Wingo Diapers is a good quality Plastic Backsheet Diaper, imported from Malaysia. It is similar to Huggies Care. Currently, avaialable in Mumbai, Hyderabad. In Hyderabad, it is giving LIDO, a good competition.
Reasonably priced at Rs. 135/- per packet. That is 21 pieces in Small, 19 pieces in Medium, 16 pieces in Large and 14 pieces in XLarge. Definetly worth a try.

Matey Bubble Bath liquid

I have yet to meet a child who does not like a bubble bath. However, for kids we cannot use a normal shampoo or an adult bubble bath liquid as it will burn their eyes and make that fun pass time, not so much fun.

Surprisingly, I have not seen a good economically priced bubble bath liquid for kids in the Indian market. Well, atleast not in Hyderabad.

I use Matey, an imported one for my daughter. It's price in the local market varies between Rs. 345/- to Rs. 375 /- for 500 ml and I'm desperately looking for a cheaper alternative. Many have suggested using Johnson & Johnson Top to Toe but I feel we definetly have to use more of the liquid than Matey to get the same volume of bubbles. Matey is nice but I'm sure the Indian companies can come up with economically priced bubble bath liquid.
