Dear readers,

English poet and playwright, Robert Browing, had once famously written in his work The Inn Album, ‘Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.’ No truer words have been spoken and I understood this when I became an aunt last month. There’s no doubt about it, I’m in love and have been doting on my nephew from the time the nurses placed him in my arms. After holding him for the first time, there’s just one thing that came to my mind—this beautiful and innocent little baby was now completely dependent on his parents and family. That’s when I realised that no amounts of books can fully prepare you for what’s in store.

The experience is absolutely blissful, and I believe that it’s definitely a blessing to be able to care for a baby. This is precisely why, we at M&B make it our mission to bring you everything that can possibly help you on your journey to parenthood. From lactation queries to parenting concerns, our experts are here to answer all your questions. We even have articles busting myths, arming you with the right information you need to make informed choices when it comes to a healthy pregnancy and baby.

I’d like to leave you with words from Kate Winslet: “Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears.” In our November issue, we’ve tried our best to put things into perspective for you, and in our own little way, help ease your worries and doubts.

I do hope you enjoy this issue.
Till next time…

Cheers!

Dear readers,

The festive season is upon and we begin with the festival of lights! There’s a certain excitement that’s filling the air, and no matter how you look at it, a sense of fun has been ushered in. What better time than now to plan that much-needed getaway for some quality time with your loved ones? When it comes to an adventure, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Of course, the Diwali break isn’t the only exciting thing to look forward to. Halloween is around the corner and that means plenty of spooks and candy to go around. We have a DIY that’s guaranteed to make this holiday fun for both, you and your kids. But while Halloween does mean indulging in those sweet treats, make sure you get a balanced diet, particularly if you’re an expectant mum. Additionally, we have an article that will help you give your kids that much-needed dose of nourishment in the form of veggies.

Now, we know that Diwali does mean a break from school and homework for a few days, but we believe that learning is an everyday affair. Perhaps, these simple tricks can help you keep your child learning, without him knowing it, and maybe even enjoy the subject of math in the process.

And as always, we have a whole lot packed into this issue. From expert advice addressing all your queries, to the latest in healthy treats, beauty needs and baby care offerings that have hit stores, we sure hope you can make the most of our October special.

And on that note, I wish you a very
Happy Diwali!

Cheers!

Dear readers,

Welcome to our September issue. It was exactly a year ago that I took over from Swati as Executive Editor. And what a journey it has been. We’ve completed nine whole years of being India’s No.1 pregnancy, baby and toddler magazine, and I’d like to believe that you, our dear readers, would agree with that statement.

We at M&B do our best to make sure we bring you the latest in pregnancy care and child care, and in our own small way, try to ease some of those nagging doubts. Last September, we had a single mother grace our cover. This year, we bring you a mompreneur that’s definitely going to leave her children with a legacy to care for. Our September issue honours working mothers, and reiterates the fact that women most definitely can rule the world; they just have to put their minds to it.

Our Cover Plus is no different. We bring you seven young mothers, as they share their journey, but more importantly, their vision for establishing themselves in the male-dominated world of business. These women sure are a force to be reckoned with, and we do hope they help inspire you to pursue your own dreams.

And as always, we do have the latest products that can make your shopping lists, and activities and what to look forward to in and around the city. And on that note, I do hope you enjoy this edition of M&B.

Till next month!

Cheers!
