We asked you, our readers, to share motherhood advice. Dr Anupama Bisaria writes in:

I am a doctor by profession hence proper growth and all-round development of my child is always my utmost priority.

My son Abeer was a very fussy eater and it was getting difficult to fulfil all his nutritional needs with selected foods that he ate.

My father-in-law, who is a paediatrician, came up with the advice of giving him multiple nutritious foods in one meal.

We would grind some dry fruits and mix them in his khichadi along with some veggies and desi ghee and thus a complete healthy meal was ready.

Since then Abeer is always in 90th percentile on his height and weight chart.


With Mother's Day around the corner, there's no better time than now to share the best motherhood advice you've received so far.

We would love to hear it because there's nothing quite so challenging like being a mother, is there?
