Swandana and her baby brother Kinu in Appalagraharam, Andhra Pradesh.

With great pleasure we introduce Ask Amma readers to a new little baby in our circle, born to Nirmala Amma and Peter Bappa in Appalagraharam in Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh at the express request of their daughter Swandana, henceforth known as Akka.

According to her father, Swandana chose the baby’s name at the time of placing her request.   The family is doing well and little Kinu is already testing products such as khadi nappies that Peter is developing to meet the growing demand for baby wear that is baby-friendly as well as earth-friendly.   He reports that Kinu goes through dozens of nappies per day, giving them ample opportunity to test different shapes and fabrics.

We congratulate Nirmala, Peter and Swandana on the addition to their family and welcome little Kinu to the AskAmma family.
