Mommy, Which Nappy?

I am not only a mom, but also a homemaker. As such, knowing the best at the same time the most cost-saving product is my task.In short, being economical is part of being a good mom to my baby.

Since baby was born, we have tried Huggies New Born, Pampers New Baby, Pampers Comfort and EQ Dry. Well, as you may notice, I am experimenting. I heard that it is good for me to try which works best for my baby.

I don't have leak problems when I used any of those I mentioned except of course with Pampers Comfort, the cheapest @ Php 6.25/pc. Why use it? When it's time to change baby's nappy but I expect that baby will poop anytime, Pampers Comfort is the best.

So far, diaper rash is not a problem and I am not expecting it to be one. This is the reason why I do not use no-name diapers.

Anyway, so far, I am still undecided which one is the best. To those experienced moms out there, your suggestions are welcome.

Name Game

 This blog post is an edited version. I intended to post this before I gave birth to my beloved son. So, here.

One of the first few things that hubby and I did for Baby  had been finding the right name. Yet, even after we saw Baby we had not agreed which is which.

Asawa Ko seemed to be okay with the idea of having three (3) names as baby's first name. I was not. I think he has not realized its downside because his name is just a 5-letter word. Having 2 names is already a no-no for me. I suppose you can imagine how I feel about 3 names.

At first, we thought of naming Baby "Zerachiel." It means 'God's command.' Zerachiel is actually one of the archangels.

Then, when I thought of combining the names of our respective fathers, Alfredo and Efren, we resolved that Baby is no more Zerachiel. We have Alfren. Then, we considered Simon. As days passed I noticed that there are many Simons already. My hubby still likes it though. He is the father and he has the right to choose. Simon is the name. Then, while watching a vid, I saw someone which has a "Ray" as a name and I thought it's cool. When I shared it with hubby and told him that it means "ray of the sun."

Hello, Baby Simoun...

In the hospital, we finished the name game with the blessing of my mother. We came up with Simoun Alfren Ray as Baby's first name.I find the name suited for Baby. I just wish that by the time he goes to school, he will be required to type his name, instead of writing it.

It's Ok Not to Move

A mom cannot escape sleepless nights... As a month-old mother, I am not an exception.

Books, internet and relatives are sources of information to calm the baby and put him/her to sleep. One common and fascinating tip is swaddling. It's already 17 years ago since the first time I saw a "swaddled baby. How to do it? Here ...

Now, that it's my baby's turn,  I want to share it.

Daddy and Baby Simoun

Unlike the one from first picture, Baby Simoun was tied. It's his Mama Minnie's version and he loved it. Thank you, Mama!

One day, I am sure Baby Simoun will thank me for documenting this event in his life.
