How to Take Care of Baby in Winter / Winter Skin Care for Baby
I have seen a very cold winter season here in my place. It was so cold, so dull and very lazy winter. But i dont want maha skin to be affected. Because during the first week, i didn't take any steps for winter and i just thought it will pass by. But it was later i realized that maha's legs and hands are getting so drier. That when it hit my head. So below are the little things which i did to care my baby on cold winter.
Check out, How to take care of baby skin in summer too..
Less Bathing is good:
I bathed maha once in two days. And also it is not a very long bath. Because i dont want her to catch cold. I also made sure she bathe in warm water.
Moisturizing is the key:
Before bathing i make sure i apply coconut oil all over her body. I also make sure to put on the baby lotion all over her as soon as she comes out of the shower, so it seals the moisture in her skin. I do a quick massage three to four times a day.
Oiling Hair is Must:
I apply coconut oil on her hair really well before each bathing and shampoo her hair after that. So her hair stays soft and moisturized and doesn't get dry. I used to apply very little few drops of coconut oil on her hair in the evening so it prevents the dryness.
Drinking Water helps:
Make sure you feed your baby warm water throughout the day. So the throat doesn't dry out and your baby stays hydrated,
Drying or lips and nose:
Make sure you apply baby lip care gel on the baby lips if it gets too dry, and applying petroleum jelly in your baby nose prevents the dryness inside the nose which may cause discomfort in some babies. Maha didn't get these problems. I think feeding water throughout the day helps.
Dress Properly:
Make sure your baby wear a hat or hood whenever you take her out. So no cold air gets in her ears and head. Babies head should be always warm.
Wear soft cloth dresses for baby and make sure you have a jherkin of a sweater after that. Never wear woolen clothes directly over the baby skin. It may cause rashes.
Feeding the Right Food:
I make sure to feed her things which keep her warm. Lots of soups with vegetables is important. I never give fruits in winter as it may cause cold.

Solid Food Schedule for 11 Month Baby / Baby Feeding Schedule for Solids Foods / Feeding Schedule for 11 Month Baby
Maha started her 11th month and my pediatrician told to give whatever we eats. But i am kind of concerned so i dont feed her everything. I still keep her food under my control.
7.00 to 7:30 AM : These days she wakes up so early, i just dont want to feed her heavy early itself. So as soon as she wakes up, i give her a bisuit, it is milk bikis.
8.15 to 8.30 AM: This time i give her appam, idiyappam, dosa, rava idli, oats idli. Whatever i make for breakfast. Somedays i make chapati so she wont be eating this since it is little hard for her to chew. Those days i give her Nestum mixed with warm water.
After having breakfast she plays and sleeps inbetween she has lots of water, fruit sticks or some snacks. She sleeps at 11.00 AM. She only wakes up around 1.00 PM.
1.00 to 1.30 PM: This is the time which we have lunch so she loves to join us. I give her dal rice, spinach rice, sambar rice without much spice, curd rice, milk rice and it is clearly rice meal for her lunch. After lunch, she plays a lot and takes a lot of water or breast milk.
3.00 to 3.30 PM : I make sure she have some kind of purees like apples sauces, carrot puree or any juices at this time. During winter i just give her vegetables puree and not fruits. You can give her mashed bananas at this time or egg yolk. But maha was bored with egg yolk now so i give her bananas or any fruits.
5.30 to 6.30 PM : It is strictly her health mix porridge or ragi porridge. I sweeten them with palm sugar, jaggery or panangkarkandu.
After this she sleeps a little, somedays she sleeps or some day we will be taking her out so she wont sleep and enjoy the outing.
8.00 to 8.30 PM : I give her something light like idli, dosa, idiyappam or it will be nestum mixed with warm water.
Inbetween these schedule in keep on feeding her mother feeding. I didn't give formula milk because she didn't like it, mother feeding is what i prefer. And after 9.00 PM i dont feed any solid foods, i feed her mother feeding only. I feed her lots of water.
