The following are some general nursery design tips and in particular, some tips that will help you create a space that will encourage your little one to develop healthy sleep patterns.

7 Tips to Help Your Little One Sleep in Hot Weather

     Summer’s here and temperatures are soaring. And of course, there are lots to love about it: the long evenings, the park days, the ice-cream, the tan, the great mood that everybody’s in… but there is a bit of a downside too. Like getting to sleep, for instance.

     With the welcome heat that comes during the day, comes an often stifling night. We spend the night tossing and turning, unable to get to sleep. And as the experts from the Sleep-Advisor blog maintain, sleep is one of the most important things we can do for a healthier, happier life.

Avon Philippines Celebrates 40th Year + Grandest Sale of the Year!

     I can't believe Avon Philippines is celebrating their 40 solid years in the country this 2018. I grew up with Avon products in our house because my mother and my aunts are using them. Since 1978, the company has led the pack when it comes to women empowerment through beauty, entrepreneurship, and advocacies. Avon Philippines is inspired to ignite an even bigger fire in the years to come especially now that they have 174 branches nationwide!

Product Review: Belo Baby Hand Sanitizer

     I must admit that I'm an OC mom. I'm meticulous when it comes to cleanliness inside our home. I'm the type of mom who checks everything if they're in places from time to time. I also make sure that I have enough stocks of liquid hand wash, anti-bacterial dish washing liquid, and anti-bacterial sprays at home.

     Cleanliness is very important  A clean home is always free from germ- carrying disease. Aside from this, I also make sure that I bring this mantra whenever we go outside the house. Check my bag and you'll see basics that will keep us protected from bacteria like hand sanitizer, alcohol, baby wipes, and anti-bacterial soap. Speaking of hand sanitizer, I presume that you've tried different brands before but most of the variants available are not suitable and gentle for little hands. Well, no need to worry because Belo Baby now has hand sanitizers. Sharing with you more details on Baby Hand Sanitizer below :)

Pigeon Only Moms Breastfeeding Advocacy Event

     Three of my siblings are breastfeeding advocates and still breastfeed their babies up to now. I'm the only one who did not successfully breastfed my child (Kenzo) when he was still a baby. I did all the advises of my mother and relatives but producing milk was so hard, I only get frustrated if there's little to no milk coming out even if I use a breast pump.

      It’s long been studied and proven that the benefits of breastfeeding are unmatched by any other. Pigeon recently launched its Only Moms Breastfeeding Advocacy to celebrate the unique and phenomenal ability of moms to breastfeed their babies. The brand has the mission of supporting the joys and challenges of parenthood that's why when I received an invite I said yes immediately. Why? Read more details below :)

Pigeon Only Moms Breastfeeding Advocacy Event

     The Pigeon Only Moms Breastfeeding Event was held at the 3rd Floor of SM Makati. It was an afternoon of learning and inspiration as breastfeeding moms joined the discussion with Pigeon's newest celebrity endorser and breastfeeding advocates. Moms and dads learned more about why breastfeeding is indeed #BestFeeding, both in terms of health and practicality, while everyone else gained better understanding and appreciation of what breastfeeding moms go through to better help and support them.

Pigeon Only Moms Breastfeeding Advocacy Event

     Prior to this event there are different activities and breastfeeding solutions booths with amazing prizes for participants, just in time for Breastfeeding Month.

Highlights of Pigeon Only Moms Breastfeeding Advocacy Event

1. The event was made more enriching with tips and advice about breastfeeding solutions by certified parenting and lactation expert, Abbie Yabot. Richwell Phils Inc., COO, Maye Yao Co Say shared her own insights about why breastfeeding should be given more importance.

2. Pigeon Brand Ambassador, Shamcey Supsup-Lee, was able to lend a relatable voice for new moms like her going through their own breastfeeding journey.

“I’ve always known I wanted to breastfeed, because I’ve been told about its many incomparable benefits,” Shamcey shared. “But I didn’t realize until I was actually breastfeeding just how hard it was. There were so many sleepless nights and crying. If I didn’t have my husband’s strong support, I would have quit easily.”

3. According to Shamcey, eating lots of malunggay, having soup, and power pumping every three hours are some of the things she does to make sure she produces more milk.

4. She continued, “The breast pump is great because I can continue to make sure I have enough for Nyke even when I’m not always with her. And my mother-in-law bought me the nipple cream. I recommend for moms to invest in nipple cream. When you’re breastfeeding, it’s really going to hurt so you’ll need all the help you can get,” she advised.

     Abbie encouraged moms further to keep on breastfeeding despite the challenges because there are solutions, “Yes, there are challenges that can be quite daunting, but there are good solutions. And that’s what Pigeon emphasizes,” she said. “For moms who feel like they are not producing enough milk, it’s actually helpful to just keep breastfeeding and pumping. The more milk you express, the more your body will produce. It’s also best to use a breast pump to keep the milk flowing,” Abbie added. 

Pigeon Only Moms Breastfeeding Advocacy Event

     And while moms with new born infants are the main audience of the breastfeeding advocacy and event, Pigeon sees a larger and more inclusive need to drive awareness on its importance. Statistics here in our country show a major lack of support and encouragement for moms to breastfeed.

     By educating more people about this, Pigeon is aiming to help build a stronger support system – that includes dads, family and friends – for moms who are going through the journey, as well as the infants whose health and well-being are top priority. At the end of the program, Maye's husband together with celebrity dad Duncan Ramos made a pledge to help and support their wives in breastfeeding. Maye is encouraging everyone to be breastfeeding advocates, because our support plays a crucial part in mom and baby’s breastfeeding journey.

Product Review: Belo Baby Product Line #BeloBaby

     I believe in the saying that "Mothers know best." As a mom, I always wanted the best for my son. I always make sure to do my research first before buying and trying out products that my son will use everyday. I'm a meticulous person even before I got married. I check the labels of skin care products that I use and that makes me more knowledgeable of the ingredients that a product have.

     Baby's skin is so sensitive and using products that contain different chemicals may bring allergies and other skin-related problems. Their skin is so delicate and needs utmost care. When my son was still a baby, I always make sure to buy skin care products that are 100% natural but I always fail because some have hidden chemical ingredients that makes his skin so dry. Well, it's time to rejoice because Belo already has a baby! Belo Baby Skin Care Product Line to be exact :) More details about the product line below :)

L-R Clockwise: Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash, Belo Baby Cologne, Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion, Belo Baby Bar Soap

     I was so happy and excited the moment Belo Baby products reached our doorsteps. I immediately checked all the ingredients and to my surprise, yay to 100% natural ingredients and 0% harmful chemicals. Since Kenzo is turning 7 this June, I let him use the Belo Baby Bar Soap and Belo Baby Cologne in Cool Drizzle. I decided to let me nieces use the rest of the products like the Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash, Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion plus the remaining Belo Baby Cologne to see the effects on their skin. My nieces' skin are more sensitive because they are still babies (4-month and 11-month old). After a week of using the products, see their experiences after the jump!

DISCLAIMER: These products were sent to me for a review. The thoughts expressed here are my honest opinion about the products. 

Cute Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy

     Have you found out that you’re expecting a bundle of joy soon? Congratulations! Now that you and your partner know you’ve got a little one on the way, you’re probably considering exactly how you want to spread the wonderful news to your family and friends. If you’d like to do so in a more creative way and really shock them with an amazing surprise, try one of these clever tactics. 

Cute Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy

His and Hers Gifts

     If your parents are being inducted to the world of grandparent-hood, you can do your reveal in a very special way that will leave no room for debate. You can buy personalized gifts for the grandparents-to-be to unwrap. Maybe it’s a mug that says “I love my Grandpa” for your dad, or a personalized glass keepsake box with a message about becoming a grandmother for your mom. Whatever you choose, you’ll have them initiated into their new roles in no time with a customized present like this. 

A Family Photoshoot

     If you already have children, plan a photoshoot to celebrate this momentous occasion. Line up your kids on chairs according to age. At the end of the line, put an empty chair. If you’ve discovered the baby’s sex, choose a corresponding blue or pink balloon, tie a weight to the string and place it on the chair. This subtle but creative reveal idea is sure to be a hit and serve as a wonderful memento for this special time throughout your life.

Only Child Expiration Date

     If this will be your second child, let your firstborn be in on the fun. You can make a shirt for your little guy or gal with a hilarious expiration date that will get the message across to your family and friends in no time. On the shirt, have “Only Child: Expiration Date (Your due date)” printed through a company like CafePress. You can present the info in multiple ways. If you’re headed to dinner with your family, have your son or daughter wear the shirt and see how long it takes people to notice the message on its front. If you’re looking for a way to do this announcement on Facebook or some other form of social media, take some photos with your soon-to-be big brother or sister and post it—wait for the likes and comments to start rolling in. 

How Big is Baby?

     You’ve likely encountered charts that help you visualize the size of your baby as your pregnancy proceeds. Four weeks, your baby is the side of a poppy seed, at eight weeks, a raspberry. Many couples wait to tell family and friends after they’ve reached the third month, and if that’s the case for you, your baby is the size of an actual plum at 12 weeks. Whatever the applicable fruit, buy as many as the loved ones you’re announcing to on this occasion. Wrap up each in a box, and when your family members or friends open them, let them try and work through this sweet riddle on their own. Once they get it, prepare for hugs.

You’re On Candid Camera

     This is one hilarious way to get everyone’s reaction to your awesome news and also surprise them in a shocking way. Get the family together for a photo and instead of the proverbial “Say Cheese!” insert the pregnancy announcement of your choice. You could go with “Everyone say [your name] is pregnant!” They’ll parrot back without realizing, and the stares and screams you’ll get will be caught on camera for a lifetime of hilarity. 

A Coupon for What?!

     One fun and inexpensive way to announce your pregnancy is to offer a coupon. Print out a coupon template from Couponler.com and write the message of your choice on its front. I’m partial to “Redeemable for one baby” with your due date written underneath it. Such an easy way to present it, but definitely a shocker for anyone who receives it. 

A Baby-Themed Dinner

     You can really trick folks with this one and test their observation skills. Plan your dinner around baby foods. No, I’m not talking jars of pureed peas here. Think more along the lines of baby corn, baby artichokes, baby back ribs, etc. If you want to make it a bit more obvious, serve it on small cutlery, or for a real kicker serve cocktails in a baby bottle. You’re bound to get some questions, and your reveal answer will be half the fun.

Baby on the Way? 5 Tips to Prepare Your Home for the New Arrival

     As a new parent, your life revolves around your tiny and totally adorable baby. But before you bring your little one home, you need to make sure the area is safe and ready for the new arrival. In addition to shopping for baby-safe toys, diapers and cute onesies, you can take the following steps to maximize your baby’s safety and comfort:

 Baby on the Way? 5 Tips to Prepare Your Home for the New Arrival
image from hdwallpapers

1. Control the Climate

Babies are less able to regulate their body temperatures compared to adults. Overheating can be particularly dangerous. 

You should keep your house between 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius) and 74 degrees Fahrenheit (23 Celsius) during the day, and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 Celsius) and 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius) at night. You can save time, improve your baby’s comfort and reduce your energy bills by using automated climate control. For extra savings, you can compare electricity companies to find the perfect plan for your needs and budget. Follow this link to learn more. 

2. Choose the Perfect Room

Your first big decision is to choose a room for your baby. Although you may want him or her as close to you as possible, having a separate room with a baby monitor can help either you or your partner sleep – whoever’s not on duty – when your baby wakes up at 3 a.m.

3. Find a Baby Monitor

Babies are so small that they appear frighteningly fragile. Although they are actually more resilient than they appear, new parents constantly worry about their young ones. 

Modern baby monitors come with Internet capabilities so you can access them on a smartphone or mobile device. You can keep tabs on your infant anywhere with a Web connection, or just show him or her off to friends and family.

4. Baby-Proof the Home

Make sure you baby-proof your home before the baby arrives. Don't wait until you are exhausted and frantically busy caring for a newborn to get your home ready. The six or seven months between the baby's birth and the crawling stage will pass very quickly. 

Start by securing any heavy objects, such as televisions, sound systems and computer equipment. Remove breakable objects, such as table lamps and vases, from surfaces that the baby can reach. Place furniture strategically in front of electrical outlets, and use cord covers or shorteners for electrical cords, and covers for outlets. 

5. Clean with Natural Products

Don't go overboard with industrial-strength chemicals to create a perfectly sterile environment. Harsh chemicals can be irritating for a newborn. Also, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, some studies show that a baby who is exposed to pet dander and a certain amount of ordinary household dirt is less likely to develop allergies or asthma. 

Don't use strong antimicrobial cleaning agents; instead, use non-toxic cleaning products to prepare your home without making it entirely sterile. Also, be sure to take off your shoes before you enter the house. 

Having a baby is a wonderful experience – no matter how exhausting the first few months can be. These five tips will help ensure that your newborn is safe and comfortable.

     Mother's day became exciting and extra special for me because I got invited to mommy-related events. As a mother, there are so many things that I need to know when buying quality and family friendly products that my son would use. He's already five years old so aside from buying toy cars (his favorite) I also consider buying educational toys that will help develop his motor skills the fun way! Thanks to Ban Kee Trading, Inc. because they invited me to an intimate lunch with other mommy bloggers together with their kids at Cravings Shangri-La Mall last May 13. This event gave me ideas and information about the brands under them. They carry around 75 brands of toys for boys and girls, they also have educational stuff for pre-schools, infant care essentials and outdoor recreational products for the whole family.
