Life has changed after panache came into our life. It was
quite challenging and being a new mom. I didn’t had any idea about breast
feeding and with inverted nipples it was difficult to feed baby properly but I didn’t lose hope and tried, tried and tried.. atlast I was able to breast feed him
properly.

More than a big achievement it was the satisfaction to see

About Panache dad Lokesh, happy mum
mentioned,”Lokesh is a wonderful dad, he helped me alot when Panache was a
small baby from diaper-changing to putting baby to sleep…making baby to burp
and now also he spends quality time with Panache.” Nowadays fathers are more
actively involved in raising kids.

We asked
Pooja about any of the pregnancy myth which she has followed or been advised ,
she said during pregnancy my MIL used to insist me for eating desi ghee(clarified
butter) a lot but my doctor has advised me not to consume it more than a spoon.
I have followed my doctor’s advice and gained just appropriate weight not more
not less. Later it was easier for me to shed that weight. All credits goes to
my doctor.
