Your Order Is On Its Way

For an online shopper like me, getting an email that says:

makes me jump for joy! ayayay! Well, my order is not literally on its way to my doorstep.. that would to much shipping cost for me. I have a friend in the US that takes care of it. A balikbayan box fan here! haha

And here are my recent purchases from Carter’s and Oshkosh:

As usual with my most online purchases, the pretty princess got more clothes than her brothers! hahaha

Now I can’t for my balikbayan! So excited to see the princess and the boys on the clothes above.. but yeah, since the clothes are for colder weather, I guess this order includes a trip to Baguio or to Tagaytay.

How about you? Do you love online shopping? What’s your recent purchase?

Pampers Sound Sleep, Sound Development Campaign

Pampers recently launched the Sound Sleep, Sound Development campaign, in partnership with the Mother & Child Nurses Association of the Philippines (MCNAP). Pampers Brand Manager Camille Aquino shared, “This campaign aims to educate moms on the importance of complete night-time sleep for babies. We acknowledge that when baby sleeps through, night after night, it is a key step in baby’s development,”

To help mommies better understand what complete night-time sleep means for babies, Pampers sets up an interactive exhibit in Megamall Events Center last Monday. The exhibit features 4 booths that showcases our baby’s dreamworld and what is happening when they are asleep. It also provides key information for mommies to better appreciate the importance of complete night-time sleep to babies.

Yours truly together with Mommy blogger Frances Amper-Sales opened the exhibit with a very light discussion about our kids and sleep. We talk about the challenges we faced when putting them to sleep as well as how to ensure that our babies have a complete sleep. Frances and I are both breastfeeding moms and we both agreed that it’s the “dede” that can surely put them back to sleep.

When I was asked what is the most memorable sleep moment for me, it’s when they start sleeping through the night. Eh di ba ang saya nun! Mas mahabang tulog para kay Mommy! Well, a complete night is actually more beneficial to babies than the mommies. Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine Dr. Luis Rivera Jr. reveals what complete sleep does for babies and MCNAP President Alicia Estiller also agree that complete night-time sleep is very important to baby’s development and growth.

But from my experience, even though they are already sleeping through the night, minsan pag may discomfort, nagigising talaga ang mga bagets kaya I always make sure to keep them at the most comfortable as possible. And yes that includes trusting a diaper that can last through the night.

Looking back, I never really had a hard time putting my kids to sleep, except for my oldest son who experienced colic during his first few months. It was a battle putting him to sleep and more battle keeping him that way. A slight noise and he’d be awake and crying. Then I heard about WHITE NOISE. And I was like, seryoso? akala ko white lie and meron.. meron din palang white noise!

Ano nga ba ang white noise?

Alam nyo ung radyo pag walang signal? or ang TV pag tapos na ang palabas? Yes that dzzzzz sound that we hear!

A study has been made and the result was more than 3 times of the number of babies in studied fell asleep with the use of white noise. I can attest to that as it really helped us in putting my colicky baby to sleep longer. Pampers also believes in the use of white noise. You can red more about Why Babies Love White Noise here.

How about you mommies? Have you tried using white noise with your baby? If not, do you think it’s a good aide for babies to sleep? Please tell what you think at the comment section 🙂

Throwback: Sleep Time With My Kids

Last week, I had the chance to organize my blog’s categories and tags..and I am not finished yet! more blog posts to categorize! ayayay! I need more time. And while doing so, I chanced upon some of my Mommy Moments entries. One entry is about sleep and thought of making a collage of their now and then sleeping photos:

These are my kids in 2009.. that’s Kuya, Diko, Chico and Pretty Princess Sati.. as I have said, this is one of my favorite activity, staring at them while they are sleeping.. ang babait tingnan no?

And here they are now:

Bigger but still looks the same, parang walang gagawing kakulitan ahaha

They look so peaceful no? but did you know that it is during this time that our kids is at their busiest moment.. the time where they process the things they learned during the day. They move, change position, laugh and even talk, these are called the Golden Sleep Moments.

Si kuya, yan ang madalas mag sleep talk.. he would sometimes talk about the things he did during the day. The little girl would smile and even laugh while sleeping.. while Mico and Chico would kick or stretch their arms. And cute nila tingnan when they do stuff like that.

At yan ang nakakamiss kila Kuya at Diko dahil sa kabilang room na sila natutulog 🙁

How about you mommies? How’s your kids when they are sleeping? Malikot ba? Nagsasalita? Naninipa? Share with us on the comment section 🙂
