Being a mom of four, I was very honored to be included in this event. It does not only provides me additional information, it also affirms that what I am doing is right, specially on the sleep department.

Talking about sleep, Dr. Jacqueline Navarro, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician practicing at The Medical City, discussed the importance of sleep, different stages of sleep and what parents can do to for their baby to have a restful sleep.

Sleep is very important as during this time, our body recovers and our body heals. Every age has different sleep requirements,as for newborn to 6 months, they require more than 14 hours of sleep.

Creating a sleep routine will help baby a lot. This can be a soothing massage, a story time or singing lullabies. This activities will signal the baby that it is time to sleep. Keeping baby clean and fresh also plays a vital role in having a restful sleep.

Aside from sleep, PLAY is another important factor in the developmental stage of the baby. Marietes Gangcuangco, Assistant Marketing Manager of Hobbes & Landes was there and recommended toys for newborn babies that will help stimulate them. Hobbes & Landes also offer toy that will help soothe the baby to sleep.

Gymboree instructor Kat Marañas. also demonstrated activities that will help the baby to learn about their body parts, strengthening their muscles and help in their physical development.

“These activities lead the babies to become calm, attentive and interested in the world which is, at this stage, their most important developmental goal,” explained Marañas.

Dr. Ma. Lourdes Palmero, a Pediatric Dermatologist Consultant of The Medical City, shared with us her expertise on infant’s skin care. She discussed the different types of skin disease experienced by the baby and how these can be prevented.

Diaper rash is the most common skin disease experienced by infants and Pampers answer to this is their Pampers Stages New Baby.

The first ever Pampers Celebrity Babylympics was held at Holiday Inn, Ortigas. Celebrity babies put their skills and unique movement to test as event guests cheered fort he babies and clapped as the babies displayed their talent and unique abilities in the series of activities.

The activities was designed by Gymboree Music and Play and Pampers diapers. The two experts in baby development were united in their goal to encourage moms and babies to play more to nurture baby’s development.

“As the global leader in early childhood learning, Gymboree recognizes how important play us in helping to support the development of children. From sensory stimulation to problem solving games and storytelling, our classes use play-based activities to stretch the body and mind.” – Ann Tan, President of Gymboree Play And Music

“We also encourage parents to be actively involved in these programs – at Gymboree Play & Music, teachers work closely with parents to identify the best class for a cild based on his or her age and stage of development and activities are designed to help children develop balance, coordination and other sensory stimuli in a group play environment.”

And to help encourage uninterrupted play for babies, Pampers has continued to improve its Active Baby diaper by providing it with an Extra-lock layer that keeps baby’s bottom dry even under pressure.

“Imagine when your baby is still learning to walk; he takes a step, maybe two, then BOOM, he falls down on his bottom. Then it will put sudden pressure on the diaper. SP in this case, your diaper needs to lock the urine well and not let urine come out under baby pressure.”

“Since dryness is so important in making sure that baby stays comfortable enough to play, Pampers Active baby now has a special lock layer to absorb wetness, allowing with a soft breathable cover and a hypoallergenic lotion, which all works together to keep baby’s bottom dry. And when baby is comfortable learning and play can continue all day.” – Anama Dimapilis, P&G Brand PR Manager for Pampers
