2015 may be drawing to a close, but we are still going to leave you with plenty of parenting and baby care tips to tide you over the festive season. From a rundown of key items to consider when out shopping for the tiny tot and why an excess intake of protein during your child’s first 2 years can put him in an unhealthy weight range to reasons why parents are the perfect playmate for their kids, there are lots of useful material for you to ponder on over the long-awaited holidays.

Head on to page 46 to empathise with Rashmi, as she shares the struggles of a mother who tries to enjoy some lovey dovey time with her better half, but is always thwarted by the vigilant efforts of a tiny tyke.  August is also the period for Breastfeeding Awareness, so we prepared a special feature for the mothers who are new to the breastfeeding scene as well.
