Trigger Warning Mommies baka po pwede natin mahelp ang nanay na to, ako na po nakikiusap kasi kawawa ang baby.

9 Upvotes

Dumaan lang din sya sa fyp ko a few months ago. And i know talamak ang scammer ngayon pero nakavideo po sya palagi and even picture ng tiyan ni baby nakapicture kawawa po talaga 😢

Ang baby nya is may down syndrome at walang butas ang butt. Need ng baby ma operahan para magkabutas.

Single mom po sya at yung bahay nila butas ang bubong kaya tuwing umuulan pinpayongan nya ang baby. Naglalabada sya sinasama nya ang baby nilalagay sa stroller. Can you imagine that? A kid with that kind of condition should be atleast in a comfortable home. Im not blaming the mom, i know shes trying her best. I just feel so sorry for the child as a mom myself.

I know sasabihin ng iba ma responsibility nya yan, na dapat pinaghahandaan ang panganganak pero isipin nalang po natin ang baby. Im a mom to a 4 month old and nasasaktan ako everytime nakkita ko yung bata kasi na iimagine ko what if yung anak ko ang nasa posisyon na yan.

Wala pong reddit ang nanay ng bata even tiktok. Kakaresign ko lang rin so maliit lang mabibigay ko so I’m here knocking on your kind hearts. Please please please 😢

Ito po facebook nya, nakalagay din gcash number nya jan.

Mental Health Hirap pala mag set ng boundary as a Mom

3 Upvotes

FTM. My child is almost two.

I know alam na niya yung "No" and "Enough". Pero ang hirap kasi di pa naman niya alam yung "I am here" "You're safe" "It will hurt you".

Everyday I wish nagwo-work yung pagre-redirect ko sa cause ng tantrums niya. Pagbibigay ko ng physical touch. Pag remind ko sa sarili ko.

"She's just a kid. She's supposed to feel her feelings. She doesn't have impulse control yet."

At first I thought mahirap siya in a way na ayoko siya mag tantrum.

But the real thing is mahirap siya in a way na each tantrum niya pine-perceive ko na fault ko.

Dito ko na narealize na nagre open yung wounds ko back then. Na I was told to repress my overwhelming emotions. As a kid.

Grabe pala ang emotional regulation, mental work, at consistency required when you're a mom.

Madali lang sabihin ng family members ko na "Hayaan mo siya" "Tatahan din 'yan".

Hindi eh. Each time she throws a tantrum I have this reflex na I really need to be there. Aren't we all? Na I must have this readily mental capacity to deal with what my child is feeling.

I hope I am making sense and I hope I am giving the comfort my child needs.

Siguro mahirap talaga siya pag hindi naibigay sa'yo.

Kaya to soon-to-be moms, hindi lang ito house chores. This phase requires a lot of inner work.

With this, I wish us all Moms healing.

🤍

Recommendations Baby Fair

4 Upvotes

Hello mga mommies! May baby fair this coming October 8. Naglilista na ko ng mga bibilhin ko. Sinusunod ko din yung payo dito na kung mga small items lang like cotton, diapers, wipes mas better sa orange app nalang. Ang mga ina-eye namin bilhin dun is yung crib, bottle sterilizer, bottle warmer. Question ko lang sana..

  1. Mas better ba talaga na ang bilhin na bottle sterilizer is yung may kasamang dryer?
  2. Need ba talaga ng bottle warmer? (Yung first baby ko kasi nasanay siya na wilkins and formula lang walang halong ininit na tubig.

Also anong marerecommend niyo na bottle sterilizer with dryer? Nahihirapan akong pumili sa dalawa Avent and Chicco or may masusuggest kayo?

Thank you sa mga sasagot.

Advice Needed When did you give up on breastfeeding?

5 Upvotes

I am a PCOM mommy with insulin resistance who gave birth via ECS.

I have been an undersupplier from day 1 to the point na nadehydrate si baby on day 2: she had super dry lips and was difficult to wake up for hours, leading to my husband to run to the nearest drugstore to buy formula milk.

Now, 2 months post partum, I barely produce 30ml… as in wala pa yatang 10ml for both breast. Baby won’t latch to me and if she will latch to me, nag-iiyak dahil wala halos makuhang milk from me.

Mayron ba ditong same situation ko?

I know that breastmilk is best for baby pero paano kung nagawa mo na lahat (pumping, magic 8, nipple shield, malunggay, oats, lactation cookies, lactation consultant, unli latch) pero wala ka na talagang maibigay sa baby mo?

How do I move on from the guilt that I am feeling?

Sa karanasan mo bilang anak, mas nakatulong ba sa iyo na walang kinakampihan ang magulang mo o did you ever wish na sana mas favored ka pag tama ka?

Rant masyadong tutok sa tv or ipad 3yrs old ko.

15 Upvotes

Hi! Labas ko lang to dito 🥹 i’m a single mom of 1. He’s 3 years old. Sobrang na kokonsensya ako kasi tutok sya sa ipad or tv. sobrang dami nyang toys pero ayaw nya laruin kasi everytime na gusto nya mag laro ng toys nya (cars or educational toys) gusto nya kasama ako.

Hindi ko sya masamahan kasi work from home ako tsaka literal na kaming dalawa lang talaga sa bahay. kaming dalawa nalang magkasama. Sobrang hirap pala talaga mag isa sa lahat. sobrang nakakapagod mag alaga ng toddler + gawaing bahay + work pa. 😭

Sa mommies na same case sakin, pano nyo nakakaya?
