MOMI RECOMMENDS| Babycuddle bed for your newborn

August 2, 2017 · 9 Comments

From the moment our baby is born, there is this urge to just cuddle him anytime of the day. And despite my mother’s warning not to carry him often, I still do. I can’t resist putting my face near his and smell his tiny lips. Nor can’t I stop myself from rocking him in my arms until I see his cute little smile. Even my mother would sneak at night and cuddle our little prince.

If not in my arms, our SumoSam (how I fondly call our newborn) is comfortably sleeping in his Babycuddle bed. It is a gift we got from a new mommy friend who only wished for a good night sleep for her twins. Inspired from Danish baby beds, the cot is designed to replicate the baby’s experience of a closed environment. This makes his transition from the mother’s womb to his new world smoother and easier. The ends at the bottom can be untied as well to make more room as the baby grows.

MOMI RECOMMENDS| Start Serious Protection with Forti-D

August 1, 2017 · Leave a Comment

I came from my OB Gynecologist yesterday. She cleaned my Cesarean section incision. From my visit as well, she advised me to continue the same prenatal vitamins I took throughout my pregnancy. She also gave a set of vitamins for me to take as most nursing moms have unique nutritional needs that are not necessarily addressed by a typical prenatal vitamin. My OB also stressed that I need these food supplements to ensure optimal health for both myself and the baby. She advised me to take Vitamin D.

Serious protection Vitamin D gives

While breast milk is the best source of nutrients for babies, it, however, doesn’t provide enough vitamin D. My baby needs vitamin D to absorb calcium and phosphorus. Calcium is one of the minerals that the baby and his mother needs for normal bone formation. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteoporosis in adults and rickets in children. Osteoporosis is the decrease in the density of bone resulting in fragile bones, while rickets is the softening and weakening of bones. And to help provide our Vitamin D requirement, I need to take Vitamin D supplements.

I would like to share with you an article I read from one of my regular subscriptions from Yoast. This post was written by Michiel Heijmans, COO and one of the partners at Yoast. He was one of the first bloggers in the Netherlands and co-founded one of the first Dutch blogs about web design and blogging.

Heijmans tackled about the most annoying contact page mistakes. Contact page, by the way, is how readers and potential customers get in touch with you. Simply put, it is where they will find your email address and phone number and other ways to connect with you. They may have some questions they would like to clarify or perhaps a few suggestions to further improve your site. Potential clients would surely look for your contact page as well to offer services, collaboration or other business opportunities.

MOMI LEARNS| Buying your first car: Make an informed and empowered purchase

July 29, 2017 · 10 Comments

Sponsored post.

I never imagined myself driving a car. Thus when I was forced to learn how to drive, it took me months before enrolling myself in a driving school.

Now, it has been more than a year and as I look back, I would only smile and thank my mom for indeed forcing me to learn how to drive.

Driving can be liberating. The feeling I get when my foot presses the accelerator and my hand shifts the gear makes me feel strong and independent. The same feeling I had when we bought our first car.

MOMI THANKS| Behind a successful woman is a tribe of other successful women, who have her back

July 27, 2017 · 11 Comments

Behind a successful woman is a tribe of other successful women, who have her back.

Again, this proves me right.

I finally gave birth to our fifth boy through Cesarean Section last July 19. And though we’ve anticipated his coming, we were somehow left off guard about his unusual arrival.

A mother’s advice

Last Tuesday, July 18, I visited my OB Gyne for my hopefully last pre-natal check-up. As per our last conversation a week after that, she advised that we will wait until my 42nd week to induce labor. I gave birth to my four other boys via normal delivery so we were hoping for the same procedure with my fifth. To make sure we are on the right track, she requested that I undergo an ultrasound to check on the baby’s weight among other things.

Upon seeing the results of my ultrasound, she suggested that we do it via Cesarean Section as the baby’s weight is way too big for a normal delivery. I might experience rapture if we still opt for the original plan. Likewise, it may jeopardize my and the baby’s health and well-being.

Finally, we’re home!

Just came from our almost five-day hospital confinement. And with us is our latest bundle of joy I fondly call SumoSam. He is such a big baby weighing almost nine pounds. His four other brothers all weighed about 6 pounds at birth.

It was husband and our Little Man who watched over me and SumoSam. Our set up was kinda difficult as we need to look after two babies at the hospital, but then we were able to manage. Thankfully, there are diners and convenient stores nearby the hospital to supply us with our immediate needs, food included.

MOMI BAKES| Banana-filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 19, 2017 · 3 Comments

Our 23-month old boy loves to eat. He specifically loves fruits, cookies, and chocolates. So one Sunday afternoon, I thought of baking a cookie with bananas and chocolates on them. Also, we got boxes of Nestle Cerelac Brown Rice and Milk Dry Cereals and he just cannot consume everything. A bowl of Nestle Cerelac is packed with higher Iron content, Bifidus BL, vitamins, and minerals to help support a child’s growth and development. So why not share some with his family who also loves cereals.

Aside from my four boys, I also draw inspiration from the people I had the privilege of meeting because of my work.

I met an extraordinary panday one rainy Friday in Malolos, Bulacan. He called his workers kapanday and they work by their kultura ng tagumpay. He is Gerardo Cabochan and he owns the Pandayan Bookshop.
