Dear Breastfeeding Mom, We See You.

Dear Breastfeeding Mom,

They always say you cherish every minute with your little one, because time slips through your fingers. But today, you’re just not engulfed with the usual flood of affection. You don’t even feel yourself now. If only you could rest for one more hour or relieve your mind of so much thinking, you’d do it in a heartbeat.

But you couldn’t, and despite everything you do for your home and your little one, you feel invisible.

Ease your mind, Mom. We see you.

Dear Breastfeeding Mom, We See You.

Does Motherhood Get Any Easier?

Kailan ba matatapos ’to?

I said this as I was holding my newborn daughter who just wouldn’t stop crying at 3 in the morning. I was running on little to no sleep, my hormones were all over the place, and I remember feeling so lost and exhausted. My husband was helpful and I was thankful—but I was the one breastfeeding, trying to stay sane and awake.

Then, in a snap of a finger, my daughter started eating solids. Before I knew it, she was crawling, walking, and talking. I kept thinking, “Okay, we’re getting the hang of this,” only to enter a new stage where we are completely novice.

It’s like that every stage—we survive one, grow a little, feel a bit more confident, then something new shows up to shake things again.

And so I always ask: does motherhood get any easier?

Cosatto advocates that parents invest in a quality car seat sooner than later, most especially this Road Safety Month.

Reconnect with Your Inner Child by Joining These Classes!

I don’t know about you, but I’m a parent who’s a child at heart. When my daughter was receiving her first few toys, I would happily explore them and satisfy my curiosity by playing with the toys myself.

It’s the same thing with the different activities she’s being exposed to. Since our daughter is in her formative years, my husband and I try to figure out where her interests are. And while we’re figuring these out with her, I also couldn’t help but be curious about these experiences, too. I’d go back to the time when I was younger, when I would list down the things I’d like to learn, such as how to play the harmonica or speak French. I’m sure I’m not the only parent or adult who feels the same.

So parents, let’s go for it! If you have been thinking of an activity to reconnect with your inner child but don’t know where to start, here’s a guide.
