One day soon,⁣⁣
you won’t be able to fit into my arms.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My back will ache when I lift you,⁣⁣
my arms sore as your legs dangle way over my knees.⁣⁣
⁣
And then you’ll be too big and heavy,⁣⁣
your body longer, leaner, and harder to hold,⁣⁣
or you’ll want to walk far ahead of me in front of your friends out of embarrassment.⁣⁣
⁣
But the reality is,⁣⁣
I’ll carry you a lot longer than nine months.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because even after the days of holding you in my arms have passed,⁣⁣
I’ll carry you in my heart for life.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because I’ll always be ready to wrap my arms around you when you rest your head on my chest,⁣⁣
to wipe your tears away when you need comfort,⁣⁣
to be the unconditional “I love you” you need when you’re feeling alone in this world,⁣⁣
and to be a listening ear that can provide insight from an experienced perspective.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I'll always cherish the moments when you want me.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And your needs will change,⁣⁣
but I’ll keep carrying you,⁣⁣
just in a different, less physical way.⁣⁣
⁣
Because, as your mother,⁣⁣
I’ll carry you.⁣⁣

Rason kung bakit bawal pa ang plain water sa 6 months old and below

1. Maaari itong magdulot ng electrolyte imbalance.

Hindi pa kaya ng mga kidney ng sanggol na humawak ng masyadong maraming tubig, at ang pagbibigay ng tubig para sa baby ay maaaring maging sanhi para ito ay magtanggal ng mga electrolytes at sodium sa katawan na siyang sanhi ng dehydration at electrolyte imbalance.

2. Water intoxication sa mga sanggol

Ang kidneys ng sanggol ay hindi pa gaanong developed kaya hindi pa nito kayang magbitbit o maglabas ng masyadong maraming fluids nang mabilis.

Kaya ang pagbibigay ng tubig para sa sanggol na wala pang anim na buwan (bukod sa gatas ng ina o formula) ay maaaring magdulot ng excess na hindi kaya ng kanyang katawan.

Enough naman iyong water sa breastmilk at kung naka-formula, enough rin iyong water doon.

Kung hindi po alam ng New /First Mom wag nyo pagalitan bagkos iguide nyo dahil hindi naman lahat perfect na Ina, lahat naman tayo dumadaan sa first time.

The pregnancy hurts.
Childbirth, it hurts.
Breastfeeding hurts.🤱🏻
Seeing your child crying, hurts.
Not sleeping well, it hurts.
Serve everyone and be the last, it hurts.
not bathe quietly, it hurts.
Having a very difficult day and without rest, hurts.
not fix your nails and hair as before, it hurts.
Not having time for you, it hurts.
MAMA needs help not to be criticized, she needs love and not of blows, she takes care of everyone but also needs to be taken care of.🤰🏻
Motherhood is not as tender as it seems to be, motherhood is beautiful, yes, but it is very difficult.
What is beautiful is the love that a mother feels for her son, that love is capable of supporting everything !! ♥ ️ ♥ ️ ♥ ️
NOBODY IS BORN BEING A MOTHER, ONE BECOMES A MOTHER.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

It's totally normal that they just want to be in our arms.

Mama, you aren’t invisible.

At 5am when you’re up for the day when you were up and down all night.

When the chores feel endless, and your clothes have never felt so lived in.

While they’re sick and you’re holding them, wishing you could take their pain away.
You aren’t invisible.

When you’re piling on jackets or covering them in sunscreen.

When the trip from the house to the car feels like the outing.

When you’re juggling who you were, who you are, who you’re becoming.

You aren’t invisible.

When you’re preparing bottles or holding them at your chest. Scraping off more unwanted food or having it for lunch.

When you feel as if you haven’t been able to get anything done or feeling the pressure to be the illusion of a perfect mother.

When you’re holding your breath because every thought, every action has them in its centre.

You aren’t invisible.

When you can’t remember the last time you held an adult conversation, or even if you know how to anymore.

When you’re packing away piles of toys, or tiny clothes, or feel like you’ve been singing nursery rhymes for the past few hours.

When your ears are ringing from the crying and even though you could never be more thankful, some days feel thankless.

You aren’t invisible.

When the weight of being someone’s everything is as heavy as it is light.

The frazzled mother in the store who somehow manages to scoop them up in tears even though her arms are full.

The one that wears her heart on her sleeve and their breath on her chest in the middle of the night.

One day things will change.

They’ll be able to tell you what’s wrong instead of crying.

They’ll stop needing to be held all the time.

They’ll be able to say, “I Love You”.

And you’ll realize they’ve been telling you since the day you met.

A mother’s love is not invisible,
It doesn’t boast or take, it only offers.

Everything you do, they see.

And everything you do, is seen through them.

Mama, you are not invisible.

I hope you realize just how seen you are.
