Breast Feeding – Baby’s Breast Friend

The best way to address the (immune system) problem is to encourage breastfeeding because breast milk has everything; it has important nutrients for the growth and development of the baby.

Breast milk has antibodies that help protect the baby form developing infections. It also provides friendly organisms like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. These are the probiotics the baby needs in his gut to develop a strong immune response.

So if you happen to be one of those moms requiring a Tender Love and Care (TLC), always keep in mind that your TLC baby will need your extra care. Breastfeeding is the best way to nourish and protect your baby. Breast milk does not only provide the nutrients your baby needs for optimum growth, it also supplies him with antibodies. Breast milk also contains friendly bacteria your baby needs to grow healthy and strong. It’s the vital TLC every C-section baby needs.

MY BEST GIFT

My birthday last April 09 was really a happy day. It really meant so much to me. I’m bursting to share with you that the best birthday gift of all was the one I got from my daughter.

I came home late as always, tired from a long day work, and found my daughter, Marcha, still up waiting for me.

She happily hugged me and excitedly presented her gift. She had drawn lots of pictures on a dozen post-its and posted them all over the gift wrapper.

I even found a P500.00 bill inserted in the paper (with drawings). My husband explained that he gave her the money to spend for herself, but my daughter insisted on putting it in her gift for me. My husband didn’t sleep all day and was problematic on what to give. She decided to draw a family picture with a smiling face.

I practically choked on my happy tears! I got a lot of nice stuff for my birthday, but this year was the best, because this was the first time ever that my 4 year old daughter gave me a birthday gift.

I’m super touched. I’m having the entire gift framed, including the money.

Being a mom is truly the best! I hope you guys, especially the ones with kids, experience the same happy moment as I did. I’m not a perfect mother, but I’m so thankful GOD still thought I deserved to have a kid as sweet and loving as MARCHA.

Are you a good example to your child?

Children learn what they see on their environment. Children learn their attitudes, beliefs, even eating habits and physical activities from watching and interacting with parents, brother or sisters and other caregivers. They explore the world by imitating “grown-up” behavior, trying to please us. Role modeling is one of the most powerful and effective ways to teach our child about their behavior.

Before Martha's Birthday

We all know that birthday is the most memorable and wonderful events in our life. Generally parents are the most excited when the birthday of their child is coming. My daughter name Martha Chayane celebrated her 5^th birthday last October 11, 2008. And it was very tiring but much enjoyed moment. I personally do plan on what food to serve and what is the theme. Since my baby’s favorite character is princes she choose the disneys pricess character. My workmate help me to make a very beautiful invitation for free and it looks so amazing.. Thanks for that Abet…. On the day before the celebration my friend name charlott also helps me go shopping; we buy groceries, balloons, and give aways. We went to starcandy a popular place where you can find different party needs, we saw this very large poster and it came to my mind the idea of my baby the princess character and I immediately buy it. It was very exhausting but it was really fun to do shopping for your daughters birthday needs.

Enjoy every moment

In every single day, we can find many good reasons to experience and see how rich life can be. A simply talking with friends, husband or love ones can be turned into a memorable moment. Even our child’s group study or playing with them could turn into a lively “getting to know moment'. You will be surprised to find many moments like these as we go through each day.
