Breastfeeding Myths

As a mom, we all want the best for our children. We may not be perfect as an individual, but we'll surely do everything to be the best mom that we could possibly be, right mommas? 😊

Here are "some" breastfeeding myths that people around us, no offense meant, usually our elderly or old folks believe inπŸ’. I completely understand that in their old days they lived up with these myths but as parents of this generation where we already developed new technology and thorough research has been done already, it's not a bad idea to be updated, informed and knowledgeable so we can pass it along to our children and be able to raise them well. πŸ’‹

Credits to the amazing mommas in Breastfeeding Pinays Facebook group for this helpful list.

Here it goes: πŸ‘‡

1. The Kanin-Ulam Chronicles - kanan, kaliwa, parehong gatas ang nilalabas nyan. Walang kanin, walang ulam, walang tubig. Lahat gatas!

2. Ang Dedeng Pagod - panong mapapasa sa gatas ang pagod? Napapagod ba ang gatas?

3. Ang Dedeng Malamig - kahit gano kalamig yang kinain at ininom mo, pagdating palang sa tyan mo nyan, mainit na din yan dahil mainit ang temperature ng katawan natin e di lalo naman pagdating sa gatas mo nyan, lalong wala na yung lamig nyan! isa pa, never pakong nakapag-pump ng gatas na malamig. Kayo ba, nakapagpump naba kayo ng gatas na malamig?

4. Ang Dedeng May Sakit - hindi nadede ang sakit! Pag may sakit ka, mas mabuting magpadede ka kasi imbes sakit ang madede ni baby, ang madedede nya ay yung antibodies mo kaya mas naiiwasan nyang mahawa ng sakit.

5. Ang Dedeng Maanghang - hindi aanghang ang gatas mo kahit kumain ka pa ng sili!

6. Ang Dedeng Lasing - hindi malalasing si baby pag nakainom ka ng alcohol! Basta drink moderately. Siguraduhin mo lang na hindi ka papakalasing at baka hindi mo maalagaan ng maayos si baby.

7. Ang Dedeng Nagparebond - Pwede ka magparebond, magpakulay, etc. in short pwede kang magpaganda kahit nagpapadede ka! Hindi papasok ang gamot sa buhok at pupunta sa gatas mo. Kung matapang ang amoy ng gamot, pwede mong lagyan ng showercap pag magbbreastfeed ka para hindi maamoy ni baby.

8. Ang Dedeng Pinaksiw -Hindi hihinto ang gatas mo pag kumain ka ng maasim.

9. Ang Dedeng Gutom - pwede pong magpadede kahit gutom. Hindi po napapasa ang gutom. Pag pinadede mo si baby, mabubusog yan kahit anong gutom mo pa!

10. Ang Great Taste White - hindi naman nakakadecrease ng supply ang kape basta in moderation pero lalo namang hindi yan nakaka-increase ng supply.

11. Malunggay, Malunggay, Malunggay! - siguro nga kahit papano nakakatulong ang malunggay pero wag OA sa malunggay! Kumain ka naman ng iba! Balanced diet dapat! Eat variety of food para healthy ka at makaproduce ka ng madaming milk.

  1. Thanks for helping me getting rid of my fears about breastfeeding! After one year of trying to get pregnant, it finally worked and we are so happy about it! And it is so crazy, because I read my horoscope on Astrosofa.com/2018 for fun at the beginning of the year and it already told me, that at the end of the year stars would be good for enlarging the family. Now I am preparing myself as good as I can and hope, I will be able to brestfeed my child!

    Love,
    Gwyneth

How To Apply For A Solo Parent ID

Just recently, I got my Solo Parent ID. I've been a single parent for quite some time already and in the past, I didn't know that I am eligible for this kind of benefit. This is important especially when you are company-employed because you'd be entitled to an additional 7 days paid leave from your company, this is on top of the regular leave credits provided to you. For unemployed parents, there are other benefits or programs offered by the local government. I would like to share the process to my fellow single parents on how I was able to secure this ID. Prior getting, I also did my research to know the process and requirements. Unfortunately, the information found online are no longer updated. I had troubled myself to go back twice, which is waste of time, effort and money instead of having it all done in just one day. Hopefully, this blog would be helpful to others who's planning to apply for this ID. I lived in Makati, so I applied here in our Municipal

Formula Milk Brands with Manufacturer | Available in the Philippines

Breast milk is the best for babies. But, hey! FED IS BEST too! Breastfeeding doesn't always work for everyone. Our fellow mommas also tried so hard and we'll never know their real struggle unless we have the same circumstances. The question on "Which formula milk is the best for my baby?" is always the first thing to ask. Formula milks are all different in their own ways and it really depends on which one would work best for your little ones. As they say "hiyangan lang yan". For mommas out there, looking for the available formulas in the market, I'll try my best to include the prices later on. But for now, here's the list that you can consider : Formula (Manufacturer) PROMIL SERIES (Wyeth) S-26 / S-26 GOLD   (Wyeth)   BONAMIL   (Wyeth) ENFAMIL / ENFAGROW  (Mead Johnson) NUTRAMIGEN (Mead Johnson) LACTUM  (Mead Johnson) ALACTA (Mead Johnson) ISOMIL PLUS (Abbott) PEDIA SURE (Abbott) SIMILAC
