Welcome to Parenthood

It can be quite correctly said that parenthood is one of the major turning points in any person’s life. All of a sudden there is this newcomer, for whom you are solely and wholly responsible. And through this newcomer you discover a wide range of emotions and attributes in your own self that you were till now unaware of, in fact you thought yourself incapable of those. Most people here will certainly agree with me, when I say that parenthood changes everything and everyone (OK, make that 'usually' changes). Suddenly there is this new person in your life, whom you tend to love more than yourself. You probably didn't even know that you were capable of such love! It is one of the greatest joys of life, and I guess there are not very many people who’ll disagree with me. Very few things can give you greater fulfilment than seeing your baby gurgle out in glee. In fact very few things will matter more to you than your child’s happiness. Life is really beautiful with them around. Indeed, they infuse life with a new meaning and new purpose.

But, at the same time, parenthood is one of the biggest responsibilities of life. It’s not easy. Somewhere in the rosy scenario, lies a feeling of fear, a feeling of inadequacy. And this is primarily due to the fact that one doesn’t know what to expect, until a baby is actually in the picture. And when someone actually becomes a parent, all the prior advices given by everyone worth their mettle and the information read in the scores of baby books simply blank out. Reality is always different.

So what can you do about the whole situation? Well, actually nobody knows everything at first, everyone learns with experience. However, this is where we step in. Our newsletter is aimed at making parenting more effective, joyous, fun and a true learning process for you due to the hordes of advices, information and ideas, which we are going to shower on you with our every issue. A wide array of topics ranging from pregnancy to childcare, health to nutrition as well as fun activities will be covered by us. From time to time you will find articles which will assist you in your dilemma or give you, a previously unknown, knowledge. We want your first few years in child raising to be less tougher than expected. We want your baby to grow optimally. We want you to experience the full levels of contentment, which every new parent should experience. We certainly don’t want you to miss out on the fun of these amazing years. And we definitely don’t want you to sideline all those little anecdotes of joy just because you are too busy worrying about how to raise your child in the best way. We are here to dilute your worries and your feelings of inadequacy, if they ever arise. And we’ll try our best to live up to your expectations.

We take this opportunity to welcome you into our ‘Babylife’ family.
