first time mom, how to deal with baby

[nageinna]

sissies, ayaw ko talaga isipin yung terrible two's na label sa mga LOs as much as possible iniisip ko everything na ginagawa nila is just a phase. but recently medyo nahihirapan na ko kay LO maybe because i'm pregnant din and about to give birth first week next month. he would always say ayaw ayaw ayaw tapos natuto na maglupasay sa floor pag nag tatantrums. eto sa lahat yun kinakatakutan ko because ayaw ko rin makasanayan niya to and gawin niya pag nasa labas kami. i would ask him ano gusto niya everytime he would say ayaw. pero ayaw lang sya ng ayaw tapos iiyak. tapos hihiga sa floor. kahit i talk to him calmly ganon parin. anyone who experienced this? how did you deal with this kind of behavior? worried din ako kasi baka lumala tantrums niya especially new baby is coming.

Hindi ako masyadong worried kapag nasa labas kami ni baby kasi behave siya kapag may ibang tao but kapag nasa house lang kami, na-noticed ko bata na talaga ang baby ko kasi marunong ng magalit.. kapag hindi ko binibigay gusto niya, iiyak then papalo sa chair or sa air lang basta may palo. Actually, sa akin niya iyon nagaya. Kapag sinisita ko siya, pinandidilatan ko siya tapos sisitahin ko then pag hindi tumigil papalo ako kung saan. So ngayon, inaavoid ko na yung ganon kasi ginagaya ni baby. He's 1 year 4 months na. So far, madali pang alagaan si baby ko now malikot nga lang lahat na lang.. Before twice siya natutulog maghapon, morning and afternoon, ngayon may days na sa morning na lang wala na yung afternoon.

Yung baby ko din at 14 months medyo marunong na mag tantrums. He stomps his feet when he doesnt get what he wants. Super gulo pala talaga pag baby boy.

At 15 months sabi sa sleep training books, most babies drop  from 2 naps to 1.

May times na nahihirapan ako pakinin siya pero nung binigyan ng pampagana na vitamins ayun no problem na.

^I see, kaya pala may times na sa morning na lang siya nag nap.. kailangan pala talaga nagbabasa basa ako.. Sa pagkain naman wala talaga ko problem kay baby, super gana.

Mga sis pajoin. My lo is 1month and 1week na. First baby ko. Ang hirap pala talaga magalaga ng baby. Nakakaiyak talaga lalo na pag di ko mapatahan baby ko. Mga sis ano paba ginagawa nyo pag may colic babies nyo? Nabigayan kona ng restime pero bat ganun tatahan tapos matutulog maya maya iiyak na naman. Ano pba ibang remedies mga sis? Thanks

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ have you tried babywearing? Sometimes kasi babies just want to be held upright and close to you..

[mslcgrey]

^^ kala ko rin dati may colic yung baby ko kasi that time frame din halos mabaliw ako kung paano siya patatahanin sa pag-iyak but looking back gusto lang talaga nya ng kalong. I wish mas maaga ako nakabili ng carrier ko. Babywearing helps a lot.

problem ko naman kay lo ngayon is pano siya sasanayin uminom ng water. She’s 10 mos na and eats solids, kaso pahirapan siya painumin ng tubig. Ayaw niya sa sippy cup and ayaw din nya directly sa small cup. Parang naiinis siya pag natatakpan yung face nya (weird na funny lang lol), so the only way I get her to drink is sinusubuan ko sa spoon, tapos ang fuzzy nya painumin.  Nakakainom siya ng mga 1-2 oz per meal,3 meals a day, medyo sapilitan pa yung kalahati nung drink nya nun. Parang ang onti pero mukhang enough naman na sa kanya kase so far di naman sya dehydrated or constipated. Never pa naman sya uminom ng juice or anything aside from bm and water, I don’t know baket ayaw nya sa water. Any tips on how I can get her to drink water?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ try offering it cold sometimes. Ganun yung daughter ko, sometimes she prefers cold water. Not super-cold, basta me lamig lang.

[nageinna]

thankfully na stop naman yung pag tatantrums ni LO and yun pag lulupasay pag nagagalit. i was a bit worried na madala niya yung ganong behavior. siguro nataon din na may fever siya due to cough that time kaya super irritable. now he's back in his old self. malambing na and madali na makausap. hoping na magtuloy tuloy since new baby is set to arrive next week. talagang tinatry ko na iset yung mind niya sa younger brother niya hopefully makatulong.

Hi! my baby is only 1month, and kagabi while changing his diaper hindi napansin ni husband na nag wiwi sya while naka taas paa, kasi hubby is cleaning his poopo. So napansin na lang namin na wet na buong damit nya and face nya. Worried lang ako baka naka inom sya ng wiwi nya. Does anyone have the same experience? Ano po ginawa nyo?

[foxlady]

My baby is 6 weeks old.  She only poops once a day pero twice na nag-skip sya  Ni-rectal stimulate ko lang and successful naman.  Sabi ng pedia nya, nothing to worry naman daw.  But still, worried pa rin ako.

Na-experience nyo ba to, sisses?  How did you handle this?

Thanks!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ breastfed baby? If so, ok lang mag-skip paminsan-minsan. When my baby was i think 3 or 4 months, me time na 1 week sya di nag-poops. Pero ok lang naman, kasi breastfed naman, mas madali kasi ma-digest at ma-absorb ng body ni baby ang breastmilk so minsan wala talaga sila nalalabas..

[nicoletta]

Having read some of your posts, mabait na pala talaga ang baby ko.  He rarely pulls off a tantrum not unless he is sick.  For almost 2 months he had colds and cough pero now that he is well, mabait na siya ulit. 

It's just hard to be a first time mom kasi there are things I wasn't aware of.  Like when he had diarrhea, I didn't know calmoseptine would help ease the redness and hapdi.  Buong gabi siya umiiyak nun every time dapat siyang hugasan ng yaya niya.  Kawawa.  I know better now.  The hard part talaga is the trial and error part.

Sis bagaholic_chewy, mixed ang milk ng baby ko... breastmilk and formula... lately parang every other day na ang pag poop nya... wala namang unusual sa texture ng poop.. and I read somewhere as long as oks ang texture ng poop ni baby, kahit 3 days
pa daw ang interval nothing to worry daw...

Naaawa lang ako sa baby ko kasi pag one day na syang hindi nag poop, parang sumasakit na yung tyan... napapadalas ang pamimilipit nya... kaya mina massage na lang namin.. tapos sobrang smelly ng utot nya :-)

Mga sis i need help.. First time mom kasi ako.. Nag exclusive bf ako for 1 month.. mahina din ang production ng milk ko kaya sabi ng pedia mag back up kami ng formula.. Mas mabigat na si baby compared before.. Now ang problem ko i have cough.. Si baby nauna magkaubo last sunday night ako naman tuesday night.. Nahawa ata ko kay baby kasi directly niya ko nauubohan.. Okay lang ba if magbf ako even if i have cough? Im taking antibiotic and solmux din.. Aware naman doctor ko.. And bakit kaya pag napump ko na milk ang nasa bottle bihira or konti yung natatapon niya compared sa formula? Ngsastart na kc ako magfeed thru bottle kasi sa feb. 3 may work nako.. Ang prob ko din kasi pag bottle feeding minsan may mga natatapon or nirereject siya. Chaka minsan parang nalulunod siya pero minsan ok naman tolerated niya.. Naguguluhan tuloy ako kay baby.. Pero pag boobs ko na talaga walang natatapon with matching hawak pa sa boobs na parang wag ko tatanggalin.. Tia!

Hi mga sis, hope someone can give me an advice. I think my 14 month old baby is teething but I'm not sure. She does not have all the symptoms. Ang napansin ko lang is humina siya kumain and she likes to drink milk more, especially if direct feeding from me (bf mom here). She doesn't drool pero she's sometimes cranky or very clingy sa kin. Feeling ko lang baka teething na siya since a lot of her teeth start showing up on her 13th month. Kaso I'm worried na baka she's not getting enough food, small baby pa naman siya and ayaw ko sana magdrop pa lalo yung weight niya. Or this could be something else, pedia na ba agad pag ganito? Do other moms have this experience? and what do you do? TIA.

[anamariavictoria]

^ Hi sis crookshanks, my baby went through those too. Basta kapag extra fussy and clingy siya,  I attribute it to teething or a growth spurt. And true, malakas magdede pero mahina kumain. Ginagawa ko nalang sis, small but frequent feedings. Madaming snacks, kung ano yung favorite niya. Apples, oranges, grapes, bread.. Yun kasi faves ng baby ko. Thankfully hindi naman nagdrop ang weight niya.

Don't worry sis, panandalian lang yan and lilipas din.

[crookshanks]

^thanks sis! medyo nagworry na talaga kase ko na baka magdrop pa lalo weight ni lo.
