New Mommies Motherhood Guide
We look up to our moms as someone who we can always rely on. As kids, we would call them for almost everything, for something as simple as missing towels to something more serious as having a high fever.
Being a mother for the first time has its challenges, such as juggling various roles and thinking about the welfare of her new born child. Some new moms tend to panic as soon as the baby cries and get wary about giving the right amount of care and attention. But the struggles are incomparable to the joys of blissed-out cuddles, first smiles, and that sweet new baby scent.
Babyflo understands the language of love that innately exists between moms and babies. This goes beyond providing products that enable moms and newborns to share love responses. That’s why the trusted baby care brand recently gathered a group of dedicated moms to share parenting tips and realizations that worked on their journey.
1. It’s okay to make mistakes.
“It is okay to cry. It is okay to make mistakes. It is okay to be tired. Breathe. And kapag di na kaya, call your mom! (Ask help from your mom). It’s okay to put your crying baby down and take a moment for yourself to breathe.”—
Neri Naig-Miranda, celebrity mompreneur with two-year-old boy
2. Postpartum Depression is a real thing.
“To know that PPD is real, so remember to accept any help that is being given so you can also go out and do a little something for yourself too. All children deserve the chance to have a healthy mom, and all moms deserve the chance to enjoy their life and their children.”—Iya Villania-Arellano, celebrity host, working mom with two kids
3. Don’t be afraid of the process
“Just take it easy, have patience, and enjoy it. You don’t need to rush everything, so spend more time with them and cherish every moment. And lastly, do not hesitate to ask for help! Your family is your biggest support system.”—Rina Magsaysay, Sales Specialist with two-year-old girl
4. Enjoy bonding moments
“I’m sure all mothers would agree that motherhood is tough yet so rewarding. That is why Babyflo encourages special bonding between moms and baby; love that flows in a rewarding cycle of bonding and discovery. Just take things as they come and enjoy every minute and moment with your baby. As much as you try to prepare, you’ll never be ready for what’s coming. Just take things as they come and enjoy every minute and moment with your baby.”—Gie Sarmiento, brand manager with one-year-old boy
