Kael's sleeping pattern.

     I am writing this blog post REAL TIME!! YES, I said it right! Real time! Gising na gising pa din kami ni kael. I wonder why his sleeping pattern stayed almost the same from the date I gave birth to him, parang laging night shift. I wanted to train him na mag sleep sa gabi because I work at night meaning si didi lang ang mg aalaga sa kanya and didi works early in the morning 5am ang pasok nya. Imagine how he deals with kael everyday! Goshhhh! Now, I fully underdtand why he is always sleepy sa umaga hahahah sadyang makulit pala si kael sa gabi. I honestly do no know na ganto sya pag gabi coz few weeks ago I can pacify him with breastfeeding, he will calm down and sleep pag nakadede na sya sakin but this week is different, maybe because he is sick at masyado syang clingy.

 It would have been okay if smile smile lang sya kaso later on ayaw nya na magpalapag at iyak ng iyak. He would not take my breast as well gusto karga lang.

 Imagine a 6 months old baby doing this every night, I dont think this is going to be healthy in the long run. We will visit his pedia later and I will make sure to discuss this with her.

 Kayo mommies did you experience this? How did you deal with it? How did u resolve it? I hope you can help me!

 Thanks in advance! I hope to hear it from u!

@ 03:57 am knock out na si Kael! Finally! Kakaloka this baby. Shoutout kay didi na gabi gabi nakakaexperience ng ganito! Thank you for being patient with kael! You are truly amazing! We love you didi! 

Ohhhh sya, sasabayan ko na muna meme ni kael para mamaya I wont be too sleepy! Good mornight mga momshie!

Nutri 10 Plus by Wert Philippines!

   Since the day my kids became 3, I became busier. Busier that sometimes I tend to forget things that I need to do. I'd have to make reminders of tasks I need to do for the day to make sure I won't forget any. Everyday errands would include reminders like,


       * Cut nails, clean ear & check teeth. {kyla, niela and kael}
       * Check ate's Diary
       * Vitamins for Kyla and Niela      
                                                                 and so on.,.,.,.

   Those are my top 3 priorities for my everyday task, I should never forget them. The 3rd reminder says Vitamins for Kyla and Niela. I wanna make sure that they get the best vitamins that will help in boosting their appetites, will give them brighter minds, will keep them away for sickness, will make them healthier and of course something they will love to drink on a daily basis. When Wert Philippines sent me this package, I was very happy. My kids can try out a new vitamins that they may love because of its Ponkan flavor.

     Thank you Wert Philippines nd Mommy Blogger Philippines for this 3 months supply of Vitamins for Ate Kyla and Niela.

cutie Niela

Kyla and Niela started drinking this Nutri 10 plus today! I am very that I did'nt have a hard time convincing Niela to drink it. The pictures show! Right? I am hoping for the best results. I will surely tell you my review of Nutri 10 plus soon!

           Just like every mommy out there! I wanna make sure my kids get the right nutrition they need! I hope that Nutri 10 plus will give us good results!

PODEE launch @ Dusit thani Makati Hotel: "When your two hands are not enough"

   

       I have always been a fan of anything that will make things easier for me and for my family. When I first heard about Podee I got excited! Podee means feeding my two babies, niela and kael while I do other task I need to finish for the day. Cool! Right?!



The Podee® Baby Bottle is a welcome solution to today’s busy, on-the-go parents. When it comes to feeding your baby, there is no better hands-free option.

Last August 6th mommy bloggers were invited to the launch of Podee baby botttle in Dusit Thani Hotel! I am lucky to be a part of this event. It gave me more knowlegde about best things to do to make sure I am bottle feeding my kids correctly and things to avoid aspiration.

Dr. Chao-Tiao Yumol (emergency resident physician gave a talk regarding safety tips for bottle feeding babies and avoiding infant aspiration.

These girls performed for us. They are from Halili school of Ballet! They are so lovely!

The Podee® Baby Bottle is a complete system that includes an 8-ounce BPA-Free baby bottle and all the necessary parts. It ends dropped bottles and allows for upright feeding to help reduce ear infections and colic. Parents have found it to be very reliable in feeding infants with challenges as well. Our parents love to use the Podee® baby bottle in strollers, car seats and bouncies; or whenever they need an extra hand.

Our unique, adaptive flow system allows the baby to manage the pacing and amount of flow with ease, making feeding time with the Podee bottle, always a pleasure.

Even Oprah had immediate success with the Podee bottle when she helped a mother of 4-month old quadruplets during feeding time on her show.

Podee baby bottles are BPA-Free and Lead-Free.

Upon arriving home I let this little lady try Podee!

The struggle is real!

Hellow World!


    I know from the title itself you might be wonderin what this post is all about? Hmmm...

  It's been a month since the day I got back to work, hindi man ako makapaniwala pero totoo, I survived the night shift for a month now. Kala ko talaga I won't make it pero nakakatiis pa naman kahit papano haha. I love my work and my company but I do not love my schedule now, I go to work at night and didi would be the one to take good care of our 3 babies all alone. I know it is his responsibility as a dad to do so but now all daddies would exceed expectation. I am very happy and proud at the same time na meron akong katuwang sa buhay na maaasahan ko sa pag-aalaga ke Kyla, Niela at Kael. Kung me hands on mommy, si didi naman hands on daddy coz every night while I am at work mag-isa na syang nag-aasikaso sa aming mga babies. Nothin's easy but if you love what you are doing mas maayos at mas maganda mong magagawa yung bagay na yun.

 Sorry for the long intro, Ito na talaga ang kwento. We've been struggling with sleep and time management since the 1st day I went back to work. It is not easy to transition lalo pa at matagal na kong nag pag umaga sa work and the hardest part is every night me tantrums si niela that leads to 1. Pagkagising ni Kael and 2. Tandem crying nilang 2. Once I'm at work I'd video call them from time to time to know how they are doing and walang gabing naging tahimik para sa kanila well except on my rest days. Just like last night, I called them at past 2:30 am and Kael was still awake and he's crying from time to time so maya't maya syang hinehele ni didi para makatulog ulit ang kaso talaga atang pang gabi pa ang gising nya coz when I called back @ 5am gising pa din sila at naghehele pa din si didi sa kanya.

It's good that despite all the puyat we can still see the bright side of our everyday lives. As I always tell didi, walang susuko kapit lang haha.

Didi works in the morning, parang double shift pala sya 1 to take good care of our babies 2 para mag work. Whenever I get home at gising si kael at niela ako naman muna mag-babantay sa knila until the time na ddating si didi from work so double shift din pala ako. Everyday we struggle with sleep and schedule. Ang hirap makakuha ng tulog pag tirik na tirik na ang araw. I hope to learn more of that para di rin ang antok na antok sa work haha. The good part is that the whole day I am still with them we can bond all the time, yun nga lang hilong talelong ako pagpasok sa gabi haha! 

Yes, we've been trying to find a yaya pero ang hirap pala maghanap. Hushhh. Kaya habang wala pa kaming yaya, tiis tiis muna. Tiis muna sa 3-5 hours sleep kasi kahit gusto mong makatulog sa umaga ang hirap hirap talaga. Once na nagising ako after a 2 hour sleep after 4 to 5 hours na ulit bago ko makakatulog. Mabuti na lang at hindi pa kami nag-aaway ni didi sa set up naming ito and I really hope not. 

I believe in the saying

"It takes 2 to tango"

With each other's help I know we will conquer all the trials that every situation throws us.

P.s

Babe, I know that everyday is a challenge for us but always remember that I will always be here for you and for our kiddos. I love you palagi! 

Thank you for reading this madrama post of mine. Ilabyuall!

Mommy Dane 😘👧💑👬
