The Mefarshim explain that the words of the Mishna “Bame madlikin” are in reference to the Mitzva of Ner Shabbos (see R”O Bartenura). How is this indicative in these words, perhaps the Mishna is simply stating a halacha regarding any flame on Shabbos?
The Mishna lists the neglect of Niddah, Challah and Ner Shabbos which can be seriously consequential during childbirth. How is it that Ner Shabbos which is only a Mitzvah derabanan, is equated in severity with Niddah and Challah which are issurim min hatorah?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
The Gemara advises one to instruct his household gently ‘so that they accept from him’. The Rosh cites the Gemara (Gittin 6b) that a person should never instill excessive fear in his home. This reason would indeed seem a sufficient basis for our Gemara as well; why does the Gemara provide the reason of ‘acceptance’ instead?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
The Gemara tells us that even according to Rebbi Shimon, if the flame is burning out of a large container, the container is considered muktza even after the flame extinguishes since he doesn’t anticipate its availability on Shabbos. Why is the leftover oil (from the small lamp) permitted once the flame is out, despite the fact that he probably expects it to be completely consumed on Shabbos?
