Little Trayaksh and One YearA first year, raised our own way
Published on Trayaksh's first birthday, this is the story of his first year — written by two first-time parents raising a baby in London without the extended family that usually surrounds an Indian household.
In place of the aunties, grandmothers and inherited rules, we had each other, the NHS, research papers, parenting communities and long late-night conversations with ChatGPT. This book is the honest record of what we ate, what we tried, what we refused, and a boy with long jet-black hair and brown eyes who was walking at eight months.
We did not have the village. We built one out of evidence, instinct and a lot of 3am reading.
What's inside
Nutrition through the pregnancy — what mum ate week by week, the supplements and the foods that were dropped, scan-by-scan precautions, movement and rest, and which pieces of traditional advice we set aside and why.
The year in short
- Month 3
Head up, hands busy

Rolling both ways
Movement-first routine over long stretches in a seat.

Climbing, carrying, and holding eye contact with the lens.
