Then through fermenting process i.e. sun drying, the seeds are dried and it takes 6-8 days. After the seeds are dried they become brown in color. And its weight reduces to half. Then it is shipped to manufactures.

Manufacturing process:

Roasting:

In the manufacturing company the first step is to roast the cocoa beans in large pots and then cut them in small pieces called cocoa nibs. The roasting process makes the shells of the cocoa brittle, and cocoa nibs pass through a series of sieves, which strain and sort the nibs according to size in a process called “winnowing”.

Grinding:

The process of grinding results in a cocoa liquor which is made by grinding of nibs. The cocoa liquor is unsweetened chocolate. The grinding process generates heat and the dry granular consistency of the cocoa nib is then turned into a liquid as the high amount of fat contained in the nib melts. The cocoa liquor is mixed with cocoa butter and sugar. In the case of milk chocolate, fresh, sweetened condensed or roller-dry low-heat powdered whole milk is added, depending on the individual manufacturer’s formula and manufacturing methods.

Blending Cocoa liquor and molding Chocolate:

After blending is complete, molding is the final procedure for chocolate processing. This step allows cocoa liquor to cool and harden into different shapes depending on the mold. Finally the chocolate is packaged and distributed around the world.

The relationship of new dad and new born

The arrival of the new born is a bucket of joy and happiness for the whole family and particularly the parents. They are the one who are the main care giver and are responsible for the child and among the parents it is assumed that mother is having some magical relationship with the baby and only she can handle the baby with utmost care. It’s not the case. But Pittsburgh pediatrician Mark Diamond says, “Other than the physical act of nursing, dads can do everything else: holding the baby, cuddling, soothing.”  And the unique connection between a new dad and his baby is special and has its very own aspects and importance’s.

Being a new dad the feelings are so different and exciting though parts of it may be new to you – like changing a diaper or soothing your crying baby.Never based any conclusion on assumptions, like the mother have a strong instinct to understand the baby need better then you or the connection between mom and baby is naturally strong. It is positive in many cases but you two also have a strong bond only if you spend time with your baby. You can do the routine works for the baby like bottle feeding, dipper changing and giving burb

and bath. The bond may not seem apparent during the first few days when the mother-baby bond may already be thriving – but it will be there.

Caroline DiBattisto, assistant professor of pediatrics at Georgia Health Sciences University, says. “Parents should support each other and work together as a team. It’s important for dads to relax, be themselves, help Mom out, spend time with the baby, and enjoy this special time.”

Many father just thought that only fulfilling the need with financial help is the only responsibility of a father. They also try to show love by buying gifts, toys, baby hamper UK, and bring cloths for the child. No one can deny the financial help aspect, without it the mother also won’t be able to fulfill her responsibility fully too but other than that the father’s should also work on the challenges of early parenthood and don’t leave the mother along in this new and difficult take. She is also new to parenting, she also have no experience in that too so corporate with her to master the skills.

It’s not the case that when your baby will grow up then you will play with them as they won’t remember at this very early stage about who is caring for them. It’s true but the baby feels love and care. He smile towards the care giver, he can sense the feelings of their hand and fragrance. So the fathers who have special strong bounds with the child are those who worked for it form very beginning. I think, a lot of dads feel nervous that babies are fragile and they’re somehow going to do something wrong. But don’t be very afraid you will learn within 2-4 day that how your child is behaving and what they need at a specific time. Even the way your child is crying is a great communicator that what the child need at this particular time.

The relationship of both mother and father with the baby is unique and has its own importance. And the love you give to your child will go a long way to build his personality and skills.

The charm of the new baby has its own place but after the baby arrives the parents then realize that it’s not only a toy to play but infect a big responsibility on their shoulders. A new born is in fact an imperative task to fulfill. The upbringing of a baby is not an easy job. The early development of the child has a major impact on the child’s later life and development.

The biggest challenge of the new born is to give her complete care and give an utmost priority to all the other things. It’s very difficult to wake up again and again at night0 and also spend sleepless nights and busy days with a child. There can be cases when the child is ill and the only thing he needs in illness is the lap of the mother. He is small he don’t understand the fact that you are tired or you also have other task to look into. He just needs a comforting someone is around all the time. The new born is vulnerable to many things like milk splitting up, the roll over, the gastric issues, colic, milk indigestion etc. all of their need immediate actions otherwise the after effects can be very dangerous.

It was an old approach that the childes behavior development starts after the age of five. The new researches are up to the fact that the child first five years is the basic making the behavior of the child. There are many things you as a parent can do to help your child grow and learn during each stage of development. For the new born the feeling of being secure and staying close to the mother helps in making a strong man in future and also promotes positive thinking.

There are many developmental miles stones that a child achieves and they are also a great source of happiness for the parents to see their child reaching that milestone, but with every now act the baby start here comes a series of protective measure that the parents need to take. Like when the child started rolling over, any place where the child use to be safe is not safe at all. Put piles of pillows around him. When he starts crawling, never leave a child alone on the bed or on any high place.

A waling child is the most dangerous of all specially up to age 3 when everything is accessible to him, he can walk and do whatever he wants but don’t have a strong enough brain to realize the difference between right and wrong. When a baby becomes part of your family, it is time to make sure that your home is a safe place. Look around your home for things that could be dangerous to your baby. As a parent, it is your job to ensure that you create a safe home for your baby. It also is important that you take the necessary steps to make sure that you are mentally and emotionally ready for your new baby.

We don’t know what’s going in the child’s mind. Sometimes you might think that he is acting in a bad manner but the fact is that he actually doesn’t know how to behave. When anybody disturbs him he reacts irrespective of the fact that whoever is seeking to him. Teaching right and wrong from the beginning is very important as the child understand the there are certain limits for me and I cannot do anything beyond that. It’s also a cruel truth that whatever bad thing a child is just the poor upbringing of the mother and all the good traits are the result genetics.

The overall process of child’s development need care patience and tolerance. And there traits play a vital role and their impact goes along the life of the child and play and important role in building the child’s personality.
