#Guides / Guide for new mums

When you are thinking about putting together a series of questions, it's sometimes not immediately clear where to start. Understanding some best practices can make things a lot easier. With that in mind, here are some facts straight from Dr Farhana Afroze MBBS, MPH, Senior medical officer, Popular medical college hospital regarding any new mother’s most frequently asked questions.

#Perspective / Love notes from children to their mother

For most of us, our mothers are our rocks. They are the light that guide us home and life will just not make sense without them. There is a lot that we want to say to our mums but because of life, we hardly ever get the chance to express our emotions the way we would want to.

#Perspective / Beyond biological bonds: Celebrating all mothers

A mother is a priceless gift. The love of a mother cannot be replaced with any amount of wealth in the world. But are biological mothers the only ones who can experience motherhood? Going beyond conventional notions and embracing the love and care that transcends biological ties, it is time to recognise and celebrate the various ways that individuals embody the role of a mother.

#Guides / Mother's Day Gifts: Top 5 ideas that your mother will treasure forever

To pay homage to our mothers, it is imperative to pick gifts that speak to their personalities and interests. No matter how many times our mothers profess that they are “happy with anything”, a good Mother’s Day gift demands something more meaningful than your run-of-the-mill chocolates. Ahead, we present a curated selection of 5 meaningful presents you can get your mother in addition to that bouquet of fresh flowers and greeting card.

Mother’s Day cake recipe

Being a new mom has been such an experience for me. The deeper I get into it, the more I sympathise and appreciate my own mother and our time together growing up. What I'm most in awe of is the vast amount of knowledge every mother needs to keep under her hat, from which is the best home remedy for reliving colds in babies, to which stores stock the right diapers, to how to make perfect plain cake to dip in your morning cha while the baby sleeps!

Honouring Sajida Rahman Danny and the PFDA Vocational Training Centre

As Mother's Day approaches, we honour the women who have shown us love, strength, and resilience. Sajida Rahman Danny epitomises these qualities in her work empowering young adults with neurological disorders in Bangladesh. As founder and director of PFDA Vocational Training Centre, she provides skills training and opportunities to those who might otherwise be marginalised. Her efforts have changed countless lives and serve as a testament to a mother's love and determination to make a difference.

#Women Empowerment / In conversation with working mums who do it all

Being a working mum is a tremendous juggling act that calls for dedication, patience, and tonnes of mental grit. Having a successful career or a family to support comes with its own set of challenges, but when you combine the two, the trials can multiply significantly. Despite all the obstacles in her way, many working mothers are succeeding strongly in our society.

#Parenting / Navigating parenthood: The story of three inspiring single mothers

Single motherhood — a phrase that carries many stories of strength, perseverance, and resilience. It takes a village to raise a child yet single mothers are out there doing it all by themselves — juggling a million other responsibilities, and dealing with social stigma. Despite all these barriers and challenges, these mothers are shattering stereotypes and exceeding expectations.
