If there is food in front of you, eat it. You don’t know when you’ll next have the time.

Taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your baby. But, let’s get real.

There are so many meals skipped, so many times you substitute a snack for a full meal and so many toddler leftovers scarfed down over the sink.

Too busy to eat, too exhausted to cook something for yourself and too overwhelmed to figure out a better way.

You know this busy newborn/new mom phase will pass and so you tell yourself (consciously or unconsciously) to just push through until things settle down. Even if it takes years.

It’s amazing that we even survive.

I shaved both my kids’ heads when they were babies.

My son was 2.5 and my daughter was 8 months old.

For my son it was for his Mundan ceremony.

For my daughter it was ostensibly done to make her hair grow in darker and thicker.

It’s a practice many Indian babies go through. I had my own head shaved not once but twice. As the first time my mother deemed that my hair wasn’t quite thick enough. She still looks at my black, thick long hair with the unfaltering belief that her shaving my head led to the state of my current mane.

Of course, this isn’t how hair growth actually works. Shaving your head can’t possibly darken your hair or change the thickness of your hair. That’s DNA and the luck of the draw. But people do it anyway.

It definitely gives the illusion of thicker or darker hair as you are cutting all your hair down to the quick. So, people keep on doing it.

And my mother campaigned for us to shave my daughter’s head. We balked; she persisted. Did her light brown almost blonde hair become dark? No. Did her fine hair magically become lustriously thick? Nope.

Hair whorls are the spiral or circular patterns your baby’s hair grows in - often seen at the crown of the head. These patterns form during fetal development, typically by the 10th to 16th week of gestation, and are largely determined by genetics.

Once set, they rarely change throughout life, meaning your baby’s whorl pattern is likely the same one they’ll have as an adult.
Each person has at least one whorl, but some babies have two or even more.

Hair whorls form in utero * Studies in fetal development confirm that scalp hair follicles and patterns like whorls begin forming by the 10th to 16th week of gestation.

Whorl patterns are largely permanent  * Once the hair follicle direction is established, it doesn’t usually change. Adults retain the same basic pattern formed in the womb.

Genetics influence whorl formation  * Whorl number and orientation are heritable traits. Genetic studies, including twin studies, support this.
