Ruhaan’s Pain

Getting back to Ruhaan, Dipika Kakar gave out the reason for the pain - the teething issue. As per a report on TOI, she said in her latest vlog, “It’s been 10 days that I haven’t been able to vlog. Last few days, we were a bit low because of a lot of reasons. Mainly, Ruhaan’s teething has started. He has been in a lot of pain. He has been a bit stable ever since we started with medicines. The pain has subsided a bit. But when his teething pain starts, he cries a lot loudly. You become restless when you hear him cry like that. We have figured a few solutions on soothing him a bit.”

The Remedy

Every mother would go from pillar to post when it comes to their kid’s health. Dipika Kakar too left no stone unturned to make sure that Ruhaan’s pain was reduced and he could have a natural teething. In the same vlog, she said, “Ever since his teething started, his gums have been itching. Everybody says that in the initial days, there’s a lot of pain. Ruhaan is in that phase. Doctors suggested Calpol, but you can’t give the baby so many tablets. There are some teethers which can be frozen and be given to the baby. Many suggested that we can wet a cloth, freeze it and give it to the baby. But with that, Ruhaan will get water.”

Not many would be aware that Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim decided to not give Ruhaan even a single drop of water till now. They’ve only breastfed him till now. Dipika Kakar opens up about this as well on the vlog.

“Right now, Ruhaan is exclusively on breast feed. So, we haven’t given even a drop of water to Ruhaan. One thing which really helped… My friend suggested it. You can use it as a stick to freeze fruit pulp. I decided to freeze my breast milk. And Ruhaan is getting help through it. Our focus is to lessen his pain,” said Dipika Kakar.
