ARE JOHNSON & JOHNSON PRODUCTS BANNED IN INDIA???


Johnsons and Johnsons, a brand of over 125 years, is the most trusted when it comes to baby care products. No, it is not at all banned in India, these are rumors purposely spread to demean the brand and pull its reputation down. I have been using this brand since a child and have also been repeating the tradition for my son who is 6+ and mildly autistic. I just read in one of the posts here that Johnson's products contain chemicals …well my question here is that is there any chemical-free products? The answer would be a big No. But yes the role of a company is definitely to purify the chemicals, make them mild and hypoallergenic to the skin.

The link here would help all out there to understand my point better.

Being a Johnson-mommy I must admit that this brand absolutely does the same and their product contains NO harmful chemicals at all.

The motto of the brand

Johnsons has always focussed on the gentleness of their products and they have absolutely adhered to the “Choose Gentle” tag line while making their baby products so that it is absolutely safe for children.

What do their products contain

This link here would give you a brief insight into what all ingredients are present in the products of Johnsons now…what all was there before but has been removed ion customer’s demand (though they were never harmful and always tested)


INGREDIENTS

Their products are devoid of phthalates, parabens, sulfates, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. The back of the bottles also contains a list of all the ingredients that the product actually comprises of…which is indeed a prime thing all brands must do.

Being a mother I always turn the bottle to take a quick look at everything that is in there ….u all must do the same… If you buy or have bought any Johnsons products just turn the bottle, check the ingredients, do a google search and you would get to know how safe they are….. My son is autistic and I can vouch for it that had there been anything wrong with the products then he would have responded to it right away as such kids are have a lot of problem regarding their tactile sensations.

I have said a lot but researched extensively before writing this…sharing a few links here which show that the company has steered itself clean from all the controversies regarding the shampoo and powder saga and productions of their products have been in full swing since thenhttps://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/jj-resumes-baby-powder-production-after-testing-finds-no-asbestos/articleshow/68205015.cms?from=mdr

https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/retest-of-co-s-baby-shampoo-shows-absence-of-formaldehyde-johnson-johnson-1560155646323.html

As far as having pimples or allergies from their products, I would like to say that kids differ from one another not just in terms of being accustomed to a certain product but in everything else … for instance i would like to give an example regarding a baby food product…most babies are given nanogen or rather nan pro …we tried that on my son too since he would simultaneously breastfeed and bottle feed. However, he was getting extremely colicky and my kid’s pediatrician asked us to try and shift to lactogen…it worked for him…that does not actually mean that nanogen is bad or harmful, it is just that it did not go well with my son’s digestive system. The same goes with baby care products, which is good for your baby may not work for my baby but the product cannot be demeaned.

In conclusion, I would like to mention that yes the market is full of new baby care products but my trust in Johnsons is so profound that i would not want to shift from it at all.

IN WHAT WAYS YOU HAVE GROWN AFTER YOU BECAME A PARENT??

As a child, I always used to admire the way our parents used to nurture us, take care and support. They lovingly practiced whatever they wanted us to follow and so, as good observers, we picked up the positive traits easily in our life.

Later, when we became parents, the same trend was continued. There was no fear element between child and parent and love had taken that place. We encouraged our child to be fearless, ask questions boldly, understand and then perform. We ensured that quality time was spent with child in a joyful manner. We both made sure to communicate pleasantly even in disagreements and this kept the family environment peaceful.

Now we see our child living with his family and our grandchildren in a similar way and derive pleasure that pleasantness has never been lost in living this beautiful life.


EXPERIENCE SHARED BY PARENTS💚💚



IS IT OK FOR A NEW BORN BABY TO SLEEP IN AC??

Baby doesn't see the place if it is hungry. It's mother's duty to feed her kid. Place depends on the mother's common sense.

Earlier days , (especially I am talking about India) moms used to wear sarees. So it used to offer comfortable coverage wherever they go. Even if they are traveling in bus or trains, people used to say 'new mother!' and used to offer comfortable place to sit. They never fantasize about feeding mother, used to respect her.

Sorry to say! Because of various reasons it became like an issue to debate for feminists, preying for lusty men, uncomfortable scene for many nowadays.

Few years back we were traveling in train.

One young parent couple too boarded.



We all settled in our AC compartment.

Me ,my mil were there. My bil and my husband and co sister got berths at just next partition of the same compartment.

The couple were very cute. Even their three month old baby. Her husband is bringing his wife to Bangalore along with baby we are told. We played with it too for some time.

Suddenly the baby started crying. It's two o clock afternoon.


They tried all methods. Some formula food they tried. Some railway milk they tried.

Husband started walking with the baby. So far we didn't see the baby with its mother. Her husband only taking care of everything.

It's common now a days, malls or cinema halls every where men are carrying babies. Women walk with freehands. So I didn't bother much. I don't know the baby's mother's health condition. So I didn't think much.

Slowly the baby started wailing.

My mil got up from sleep and asked me what happened. I said may be the baby is hungry.

She looked at that young mother. She is in her jeans and T shirt.

It's always gives a nervous and tension feeling for me if I travel with my mil.

She asked her. ‘How many months old baby?



She replied worriedly ‘three months. they finished naming ceremony and going back to Bangalore. She was looking at her baby helplessly.

Her husband could not do any thing more and gave back the crying baby to her!

My mil told ' baby must be hungry give him feed!

The young mother moved uneasily. Irritation, pain, helplessness, embarrassment every thing is appearing in her face.

My mil told me to take out little sugar. Generally I travel with my own pantry if I am traveling with my mil .

I took little sugar out with spoon. My mil said to the young mother to take that sugar and to mix with water and feed the baby. I gave the spoonful sugar and small steel glass to her.

Hesitantly her husband took it and mixed with water and fed the babyIt stopped crying.

They looked at my mil thankfully.

I couldn't believe my eyes. No matter will finish so peacefully and easily with my MGM lion! I was thanking my sta…r….s…!!

But that moment is short lived.

My lion roared.

‘You don't have mother?

The newmother replied confused ‘I have.'

she is coming along with you?

No! She has my ailing grand ma , so she could not come leaving her. I am going to my in-laws place!! Now her husband also sat next to her peacefully.

Are you working?

Yes, both of us! She said so confidently with pride!

(I love young girls who are really confident. I see many ostrichs generally buried in mobile)

‘Leave it! ‘No one told you? what to wear when you are traveling with such a small baby? These are such a crowded trains. You are a feeding mother, journey is 22 hours!!

My fears are coming true! I started texting my husband! Sending SOS calls. Be ready to help if required.

Luckily upper berths young men too were born with ostrich genes!! So buried in their lap tops!!

She moved uneasily!!

I tried my level best to stop my Mil.

She roared angrily . ‘Even labourer ladies will know when the baby is hungry and feed her. They don't wear these kind of dresses. So it's easy for them to feed . When you decided saree is not for you, you should have brains to think what is convenient to feed the baby if you have toBaby won't cry seeing the place! The sugar water can stop your baby from crying only for few minutes. Till you reach your place you can't feed it that. It will get motions and will become weak. She is just three months old!!

Now both baby's dad and mom started worrying! Really I felt very sympathy on that girl. But I am stuck in this so called civilised behaviour.

But not my lion!!

She ordered her to first change her dress. That girl looked with horror!!

My mil shouted at the top berths boys. They bent down their heads and asked her what's the matter?

She ordered them to get down for a few minutes. Told me to take out bedsheet and shawl from my bag.

Her husband too was asked to go out. We pulled the curtain. I took the baby in to my hands.

My mil told her to remove T shirt and cover with the shawl. Luckily her husband has an open shirt packed in their bags. She wore that removing her T shirt and inner wear.

Wrapped shawl around her. I gave the baby! My mil ordered all of them to wait for fifteen minutes out side the curtain. They were all impatient but kept quiet scared of my lion.

The young mother fed the baby. Poor girl she was having breast pain too Since she is a lactating mother. could not even tell or keep the baby with her. She got tears.

After few minutes we opened the curtains . The young mother sat happily covered under shawl and bed sheet.

I love nowadays youngesters.

Many say they are arrogant, reckless, irresponsible blah blah. But I confidently declare. They are sensitive and understanding too.

Till it's night at least three times without my mil telling them those boys went out pulling curtains whenever the baby is hungry and cried.

Next day morning

That girl and her husband while getting down at ‘yelahanka' (it's a station) touched my mil’s feet.

My mil chided after blessing them.

‘Be what ever you want. Never forget you are a mom. You are no more a kid!! You should think about hundred times about your baby needs before you step out.

Men may grow tall like a palm tree like your husband ! But knows nothing about baby. Girl only is blessed with that boon!!

I never forget that couple’s laugh by hearing my mil words!!

With so much love they waved their hands at us! Our train moved.

PREGNANCY DIET CHART:14 THINGS TO EAT THAT CAN BE GOOD FOR YOUR BABY

  During pregnancy and especially in the first trimester when appetite and eating become challenging, eating right can be a problem for many women. However, this is mainly because most women eat the wrong things and do not provide their body what they really need. Focus on real, whole food and avoid processed, refined meals, which will make you feel sick. So first of all, small meals throught the day are ideal. This keeps the blood sugar leveled and believe it or not, it can make some cravings go away. Then you need fresh fruit and vegetables, ideally organic. Fruit will give natural sugars that will provide immediate energy for the mother and baby, while vegetables will provide more complex carbs and valuable minerals and nutrients. Go for multicoloured vegetables as they contain a variety of antioxidants that work synergistically. And try to eat at least one raw salad during the day - cooking destroys many nutrients. A very basic food is healthy fat, again preferably organic. The...
