Moms of the Childbirth and Child Care Threads - Part 7

[lalei]

Engage your baby as much as possible sa lahat ng conversation from now at i-remind lagi si hubby na kausapin si baby. He will definitely catch up. Baka din pinag-aaralan nya ng husto ang mukha mo since he only sees you once a month. That also happened to me. My son was looked after by MIL and we only get to see him once a month. At first he will study me well and then he will come to me for a cuddle ultimately.  Maglagay ka rin ng malalaki nyong photos so he can recognize you during your visit. Make sure that hubby points to the photos regularly and tell the baby who is mommy. Kelangan talaga ng stimulation ng baby.  If this doesn't make any improvement, consult your pedia.

^I agree.  Dapat laging pinapakitaan ng pictures  para at least kilala ka nya.  Effective yan, ako din kasi we left our kid sa Pinas when she was 3 months old.  Then we went home nung 9 months na sya, and super happy nga ako kasi she knows us, dahil laging pinapakita ang picture.  when you ask her “where’s  mommy?” she’ll point to the picture.  Importante na laging kinakausap ang baby, dahil dito sya talaga matututong magsalita.  Basta kwento ka lang ng kwento, kung anong ginagawa mo, i-narrate mo sa kanya.  Kahit as simple as “Mommy’s going to change your nappy now.”  Then try mo syang basahan ng books.  They will love yung mga colourful books especially yung mga nursery rhymes. Or play with your baby.  Tapos kwento pa ren while playing.  Kahit parang di ka nya naiintindihan, effort talaga yan, sis.  Tyagaan lang and makakakita ren kayo ng results eventually. Goodluck!

maraming maraming salamt sa advises and support. na frustrate lang ako talaga after going to pedia last monday. kasi si baby as in hindi timitingin pag kausap mo. walang reaction. pag tv ayan okey na sya pero sa tao, wala. now after almost a week of taking him outside like window shopping lang lagi, usap ng usap nakikitaan ko na sya ng improvements. and somehow happy na rin ako kahit pano. im planning to take him to some playgroups pero ala pa akong makitang okey para sa age nya. just this week nag set ako ng playground na lang sa sala namin nilatag ko ang 2 carpet na magkapatong then may banig. then lahat ng toys nasa  tabi lang para dun na sya mag iistay pag gising. papasok na lang sya ulit sa room pag matutulog na or pag reading time na.

maraming salamat talaga. sa sobrang tibay ng dibdib ko hindi ko makuhang umiyak kahit ang sakit ng naramdaman ko nung monday. salamat [textspeak!]

you're welcome sis baskin! try mo gymboree sis.. baka mag enjoy ang baby mo doon.. and continue mo na lang yung mga kwento moments mo and more eye to eye contact with your child.. good job mommy!

[lalei]

Well done sis baskin! Little by little you will see the improvements. Ilabas nyo sya lagi sa marami syang makakausap na tao. Dalhin mo lagi sa kapit-bahay para matuto syang makihalubilo. Kahit hindi formal playgroups pwede rin. Mag-organise ka ng play date sa mga relatives and friends. I'm sure naghahanap din ang mga yon ng kalaro para sa mga anak nila. Hindi naman kelangan na same age eh pero mas maganda kung merong ka-age nya.

naku sis, by the time na 6 o 7 mos ka, lagi mo na mararamdaman gumalaw baby mo! ako, heto malapit na mag-8 months at di na pinapatulog ni baby sa gabi. lakas na sumipa at sumuntok. parang gusto na lumabas. gusto ko na nga din sya makita. mas gusto ko atang nasa labas sya at di nya ko pinapatulog, kesa nasa loob ng tyan ko na sipa ng sipa. hehe..

[lalei]

Malapit na pala due date mo sis halfasnice. Exciting time na yan.
