first time mom, how to deal with baby

[vain_kixie]

hindi sipunin baby ko sis. once pa lang siya ng ka colds and it was because nahawa pa siya sakin. since birth i gave him a bath at night using warm water.  Hindi niya type ang cold water umiiyak.

[mslcgrey]

I also use warm water but tap lang. Hindi na distilled or mineral water, i just make sure na wala siyang maiinom. Most babies prefer warm water kasi di ba sanay sila na warm sa loob. Right now, i do swaddle bath with my baby.

sis +arte20, introduce mo yung fresh tap water ligo pag medyo mainit ang panahon para mas safe tayo. yung kay baby ko kasi nun sobrang init ng panahon kaya nililiguan ko sya sa gabi hanggang sa makasanayan nya.

Joining, 1st time mom here as well. My lo will be 2mos old by tomorrow. She's not one of those difficult babies during her 1st month. Madali sya nakakatulog sa gabi and we didn't even had problems when we introduce her sa bottle (i am breastfeeding btw). Once or twice sa gabi si hubby nagfefeed kay baby, salitan kame para makatulog ng mas mahaba. Then a few weeks ago, biglang ayaw na niya magpafeed kay hubby. At first we thought ayaw na nya sa bottle, pero nung ako nagtry uminom naman siya. I think she maybe going through a stage na nagiging clingy na sya sa kin. Ako lang kase kasama nya parati and wala pa kong yaya (one of my other problems). I'm still on ML but will be back to work in 3 weeks. Any advice on how to deal? Natatakot tuloy ako kase kung sa daddy nya nag-iiyak na siya what more sa iba.

mahirap talaga sa umpisa sis. makakmove-on din si baby pag tumagal-tagal na hehe

Google Wonder Weeks. It discusses the weeks na extra fussy and clingy si baby because they are going through developmental milestone. Ang galing ng book na yun. After he fussy weeks, back to normal naman baby ko.

[mslcgrey]

^ sis, where did you buy the book? i want one too... ebook sana but pang-ipad lang meron online eh naka-samsung note ako.

[vain_kixie]

amazon sis buy a kindle copy. free download yung kindle app.

[crookshanks]

Nag-dl ako nung wonderweeks app, vey helpful nga to. My baby seems to be back to normal today, abangan na namin yung next leap nya.

[vain_kixie]

Mas mura pa yan wonder week app. Download that instead. Meron din sa facebook na wonder weeks group. So helpful.

Hi sis. May stages talaga na ganyan si baby. Minsan she'll be really fussy. Yes, familiarity can be a factor but at this stage, hindi pa sya supposed to have separation anxiety. She is more relaxed with you because she's more familiar with you. Facetime with the baby helps. Start to familiarize her sa mag-aalaga sa kanya while you are at work. Just tell whoever will be your caregiver to attend to your baby's needs as soon as possible. Most common causes of crying are hungry, soiled diapers, sleepy, in pain, but you also have to note na sometimes, babies cry because they just want to be carried by their parents. in time you will be familiar na sa different kinds of cries ng babies so it will be much easier for you to address whatever she needs.

Hope this helps

Thanks sis. Mukhang phase nga lang ni baby to, bati na ulit sila ni daddy.  sabi ko na lang kay hubby tiyagain nya lang.

grabe just want to share what we're going through right now, though my LO is already 14mos. first time ko lang ma experience yun ganito.

he is currently teething, i think molars na yung next na lalabas sakanya. and he's in pain talaga. before naman he handles it well everytime nag teteething siya. now, all throughout the day he'll be real fussy. masungit pa. bilis mairita. hindi lang makuha gusto iyak na agad with sigaw pa yan at tili. i was supposed to wean him from breastfeeding but decided against it for now, kasi humina siya with solids and refuses to drink from bottle din. and parang he finds comfort everytime he latches. kasi after ng session niya he would be in a good mood. pero short period lang yun. maya maya balik nanaman from being cranky and fussy. this has been the case for almost a week now. we're scheduled to see his pedia this week. pero normally how long kaya would this last? naaawa narin kasi ako sakanya. and namimiss ko narin makita yun super bibbo self niya. hayy...

[eraMamu]

sis nageinna, nagganyan din si lo ko nung nagstart tumubo yung mga molars nya. yung mga gusto nyang pagkain dati like papaya, carrot atbp na solid, inayawan nya. kaya nag-introduce ako ng ibang klaseng texture, medyo crunchy. ayun, nagustuhan nya. phase lang yan sis. try mo bigyan ng mga foods that need molar functions para mapabilis din ang paglabas ng tooth, gaya ng meat, biscuits at fruits na need pa nguyain. kasi di ba pag mga carrots, papaya, kayang durugin ng dila at ngalangala, lunok agad. parang sawa na sila dun, tipong naghahanap sila ngayon ng bagong challenge, kasi nga may molars na sila coming out. 

[nageinna]

^thanks sis! talaga dapat mga crunchy muna itry niya now? kasi ako nag stick ako sa lugaw nalang niya kasi pag kumakain siya minsan napapaiyak siya so i thought baka nahirapan siya mag chew. pero yun nga lugaw or soft food humina siya kumain. sige sis try ko mag offer ng different food sakanya. how long nag last yung teething stage niya sis?

[mslcgrey]

Sis vain_kixie, i just bought the wonder weeks ebook. Can't wait to read it!

Grabe, i'm a reader ever since but pocketbooks. Nowadays, puro about babies and parenting na binabasa ko just to survive motherhood and i'm just beginning.

Last night, 2:30 am na nakatulog si baby. Maghapon naman siyang tulog while nasa galaan kami. Bumawi sa gising.

[eraMamu]

iba-iba ang bata sis. pero mabilis lalabas ang ngipin nya kapag lagi nya gagamitin yung gums na papalabas na yung teeth. kung lugaw lagi ang food nya, naku matagal talaga lalabas yan. bigyan mo ng apple, or try mo baby-led weaning. familiar ka?

[nageinna]

^thanks sis! um-okay na siya last time. tapos ngayon ulit bumalik nanaman. mas grabe tantrums niya. he wont eat anything na. as in paunti unti lang. kahit matitigas. iiyak siya every time gagamitin niya teeth niya to chew. hay sana matapos na tong episode na to. super kawawa si LO kasi. he feeds himself naman finger foods pero ngayon ayaw talaga. praying na matapos nalang tong phase na to. thanks sa inputs sis!

[eraMamu]

hay, so sad naman... kahit meat sis, para mapress pababa yung gums at mapush yung tooth palabas. fried chicken, ayaw nya din? pag nakalabas na yang ngipin na yan magiging ok din sya.

mommies hindi ko alam anong meron kay LO lately sa morning sobrang light sleeper lang sya. konting gising iiyak agad. hindi namin maibaba na kasi kailangan i-hele ulit para matulong. may time na sa gabi naman sya ganon. i think 1 week na sya ganito. she's 4 weeks old. nahihirapan na kami. tapos maya't maya dede ng dede kasi she's uncomfortable, dede hanap. minsan wala pa 30mins nakatulog kapag nagising iiyak then gusto lang dede. we tried different positions na sa paghehele sa kanya, i tried padedehin ng matagal wala parin. ang babaw ng tulog. nahihirapan na talaga kami. lalo na ako, kasi breastfeeding kami. kung growth spurt to, why is this taking too long?

colic baby kaya? grabe. pagod na kami e ilan na kaming nagaalaga.
