Motherhood, though challenging phase,  is still a blessing to any woman. It has a humanizing effect on the mother and thus the child is blessed by her care and affection!

 

A few years back when the world of woman revolved around her family and home only, the period of motherhood was a very different experience compared to present one. In today’s time’s things have changed, women are playing various other roles too besides of homemaker.After having a baby when she gets back to work she has to be dependent upon extra help from either maids, daycare or support system in a family.So the real challenge which comes for any working mother is how to bond with her baby and provide and nurture her with motherly love and affection.
