first time mom, how to deal with baby

[mslcgrey]

^sis, 4 weeks na so it means may mental leap siya ngayon. According ito dun sa wonder weeks na book. Ganyan daw ang mga babies at that stage because their perception of the world changes and it is scary for them so they will crave the comfort of their mom.

Tiis lang, it will be over soon.

aiah, do you swaddle your baby? swaddling helped my baby sleep longer talaga. Also make sure she isnt overtired. Overtired babies are harder to put down. Google mo nalang optimum wake time for 4 week olds. 45 minutes lang ata as I remember it dapat sleep na agad. Take note din pag wonder weeks medyo extra clingy and fussy talaga.

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.

sis my LO is back from being fine and a happy baby. and he eats a lot na now. bumawi siya sa days na wala siya kinakain. ngayon not enough pa yung pineprepare ni yaya niya na food. good thing we visited his pedia few days ago kasi nagka fever sya. we found out na aside from teething, he has mouth sores pala sa gums and throat. so just imagine yung pain and hirap niya kaya ayaw talaga kumain. but now ok na kami. two days ago nag ok na siya.

Hello mga sis, 8 months na yung daughter ko, and na curious lang ako, until when kaya mawawala yung magugulatin nila?
Napansin ko kasi yung anak ko super magugulatin talaga sya. may marinig lang sya na bago sa pandinig nya, manalalaki yung mata nya tapos yayakap sya sakin agad. or minsan bibilis yung crawl nya papunta sa akin.

Parang common ngayon ang sores sa gums.  I think baby has one din pero pedia didn't comment about it naman.

Hay... lately ang hirap pakainin ng daughter ko (9.5mos). Kanin lang ang gusto. Tsaka sabaw. Yung ulam (meat and/or veggie), usually 3 subo lang then ayaw na nya. Niluluwa or tinatabig yung spoon.. then magwa-"whine" na or iiyak. If sinubuan ng rice na me nakaipit na ulam, for some reason nakakain nya yung rice then natitira yung ulam sa mouth nya tsaka nya iluluwa. Minsan test of patience talaga (ko at ni yaya) magpakain..

I use a combination of baby-led weaning and spoon-feeding sa pagpapakain sa kanya. Pag me sliced apples and veggies sa harap nya, kukunin nya then dudurugin nya muna sa hands nya, paglalaruan. Then susubo ng konti. Dati kasi sinusubo at kinakain nya ng maayos. Lately lang talaga medyo mahirap pakainin, the past two weeks yata nagsimula..

Feeling namin it's because me mga lalabas pa sya more teeth (she has 8 na now, nakasilip na konti yung 9th tooth.).

hello mga mommies, need your advice please
i gave birth last march 2 to a very demanding baby boy im still in the adjustment phase as a first time mom kaya there are challenging times talaga, lalo na my mom and i have opposing views sa pag-alaga ng baby. i rely more on scientific/medical ways to handle our baby, pero si mama kasi she believes more sa mga albularyo/manghihilot. i came back to work na, and sobra yung adjustment ni baby kasi he would cry endlessly kapag wala ako sa bahay. si mama naman, she believes na ang nagca-cause ng crying fit nya is yung mga supernatural beings sa paligid. there was this one time pa na nagpatawag siya ng manghihilot, tapos when the pedia knew about it nagalit sya kasi hindi daw dapat pa hinihilot yung mga newborns. naaawa ako kay baby kasi parang napag-eexperiment-an tuloy siya

[vain_kixie]

Pwede din colic kaya iyakin. Have you tried swaddling? I swaddled till about 4 months old and it really helped. Can you hire nalang a yaya para at least pwede ka mag dictate ng kung ano ang gusto mo? Mahirap kasi lalo na pag old na tapos mom mo pa hindi na makikinig sa views mo yan.

[bagaholic_chewy]

Tried and tested din sa akin ang swaddling. Mas mahimbing tulog ni baby and di sya magugulatin.

As for the crying, pwedeng colic or growth spurt din. Me phase naman yata ang mga babies talaga na dumadaan sa ganyang iyakin days.. or perhaps gusto lang magpa-cuddle ni baby. Gusto ng warmth.

[k@thleen]

thanks for the inputs mga sis yes, we have a househelp pero since silang dalawa lang ni mama naiiwan sa bahay si mama pa din nagdi-dictate kung ano gagawin. sabi naman nila it cant be colic daw kasi hindi naman matigas tyan ni w3nzo, and napapa-burp din siya ni ate after feeding. as for swaddling, we havent tried that at home, kasi when he was still in the hospital he would squirm kapag naka-swaddle. after a few minutes lang nakalabas na both hands nya sa blanket. anyways will try tonight and see how he will react.

we also brought the issue sa pedia, ang advise is to bring mama and ate sa next checkup para ma-orient ni doc on childcare

Hello, may tanong po sana ako. Nagpaultrasound kasi ko kahapon then sabi nung doctor may tubig yung bituka ni baby. Though meron naman talaga yung mga unborn na tubig sa bituka pero yug kanya naipon. So he suggested na mag second opinion kame at magpa COngenital Scanning. Nag woworry ako, ano kaya to? May nakaranas na po ba nito? thank you 

[vain_kixie]

Ipa congenital scan mo na sis para you know what to do asap.

[HapNiAce]

Oo sis kaso next week pa kame naka schedule. Habang di pa nagagawa yung test nag woworry ako

[ak0s1k@t]

^sis i know nakaka-worry talaga ang ganyan, pero have faith in the Lord. try to lessen your worries para hindi din mag-elevate stress levels mo which might affect baby. take it one step at a time. have your CAS first, the results will tell you what to do next. will pray for a better result for you and your baby, mommy

[HapNiAce]

Hello sis, I would like to know kung naexperience nyo na ba yung Fetal Ovarian Cysts? may baby is experiencing it right now and I dunno what to do?

[khriseeee]

Not a first time mom, but the first time I'm experiencing this. My 5 month old son hardly sleeps during the day. He will nap for 10-15 minutes max. He sleeps about 9-10 hours at night. I know this is nowhere near enough sleep for his age. I don't know why he can't sleep any longer.

[HapNiAce]

Salamat mga sis, tama tanging prayers ang makakasave satin. Salamat :* God bless

Up ko lang, first time mom here. I haven't had any problems sa sleep ni baby since she was born. Yung normal lang na you have to wake her up for feeding sa gabi then nakakatulog din naman sya agad. Then nung nag-8 months sya nakakatulog na sya ng almost 10 hrs straight sa gabi. Kaso about 2 wks ago nagbago sleep pattern nya. She became so restless. Longest she sleeps is about 4-5 hrs and ang hirap na patulugin ulet. Tapos saglit lang ulit tulog nya. I've read na when they are starting to learn new things they became restless, add pa yung teething. She's turning 9mos by next week.She's standing up on her own na and trying to walk, plus i can see na malapit na lumabas yung teeth nya. Kaso i worry na baka maging ganito na yung sleeping habit nya. Any mom had experienced this? Babalik ba sa dati yung sleep pattern nya pag tapos na tong phase nya or is there something that I need to do para umayos ulit tulog nya? Her nap times sa morning has not changed, sa gabi lang talaga and nakakastress na rin talaga minsan. Sorry for the long post, really need advice on how to get over this.

^ Hi sis @crookshanks! I'm a first time mom too, but my LO is now 1 year and 6 months. Same thing, she has always had a regular sleeping pattern (10 hours at night) but every few months, specifically during her 3rd and 9th month, she would get extra clingy and restless.

If it's not because of teething, I read around that it may be from our baby's growth spurt, which happens a few times in their first year apparently. And during this time, our babies may need more or less sleep and food than usual. Don't worry sis, it's normal and it passes. By the time you read this I'm sure wala na yan Just try to stick to your LO's usual schedule and that might help regularize everything

[crookshanks]

^thanks sis! you're right nagback to normal na lang bigla yung sleep ni baby.. natuwa naman ako. Normal na ulet siya for the past few weeks, kaso kahapon lang pagdede naman problema nya. dati sa bottle lang sya mahina dumede, ngayon pati sa kin ayaw na maglatch minsan. nakaka-sad na nakaka-worry. pero i'll monitor pa din muna ulet, could be growth spurt pa din or teething. I wish matapos na agad tong phase na to.
